Since the OPK method gives you about 1-2 days’ notice prior to ...Nov 12, 2019 at 2:22 PM. A lot women (including myself!!) think we ovulate on average 12-36 hours after our PEAK on our OPK. This is not necessarily true. "On average, ovulation occurs 24 hours after the first positive ovulation test. That means that you could have several days of positive tests in a row, but already ovulate after the first day."Jun 5, 2012 at 7:13 PM. @Destiny_2013, A pos. opk DOES NOT mean u O. It just confirms your lh surge. The only way to confirm O is with temping. U can get a pos. opk and not O. U can also get a neg. opk but temp rise which means u did O. It is possible your body prepared to O but didn't.A bit over 90% of cycles with a positive OPK are ultimately ovulatory (but not necessarily the day after the positive OPK, as the conventional wisdom would tell you). (EDIT: source here) Overall, no, it’s not necessary to track every possible fertility sign, and if you don’t want to track BBT, then you shouldn’t.Apr 21, 2023 · A BBT spike (or progesterone testing) will show that ovulation did actually happen. So it's possible that while you're getting a positive OPK, you may not actually be ovulating when you think you are. If you do eventually get a BBT increase, it could mean that your body is trying again and successfully ovulating the 2nd time. What is the difference between BBT and ovulation predictor kits (OPK)? An ovulation predictor kit measures LH levels, which surge before ovulation. Therefore, OPKs can detect your fertile window in advance, before ovulating. Ideally, we should start having sex before the surge, and when the test becomes positive, we can increase the frequency.Yes absolutely. If you took the photo 4 times it would probably spit out 4 different numbers 😂 realistically the numbers don’t mean anything, all you’re looking for is a positive OPK, where the test line is as dark or darker than the control line. .
