Q: 1 week of Positive OPKs
asked by: momseekingforhelp on March 30th, 2009
New User
Hi. I'm 26 years old, and my husband and I have been trying to conceive our second child. With our first, we lucked out and got pregnanct on our first try. Now, we have been trying since September of 2008. I have been using OPKs since then, and getting a positive always on CD 16. My cycles are 29 days long. This month everything changed. MY LMP came on March 3rd. On March 16th, I had a positive OPK, and the same the next day. It was only positive in the morning, never any other time of the day. I had 2 days of light spotting right after March 16th, on March 17th and 18th. But I kept doing the OPK, as I hadn't noticed much mucus discharge and didn't believe I was ovulating. On March 24th, I started to notice the famous "eggwhite" discharge. On March 25th, I started to get a positive and since then, now March 30th I am still getting a positive any time of the day I check. We have been having intercourse since then, but I'm not sure if I have or will ovulate. What might be happening with my body? Should we keep having sex? Should I see a doctor? I just did a HPT this morning and it was negative. I'm lost!
Please help me!
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your answer! I have always had my period 13 days after the first positive OPK, so I guess it would be April 7th...but with all of these positives, it might be a little later this time. I'll do a HPT this Saturday, and don't worry, I'll keep you posted! Hopefully I'll have some good news!
Thank you again!

You could be pregnant! Sometimes it takes a while for the HPT to show it. My sister-in-law, for example, only got a positive after 1 month of being late, including after doing a blood test. She also had a "late" implantation bleeding, which is what could also have happened with you. Don't give up! Have you done another HPT? Keep me posted too!

How exciting!!!! I'll have my fingers crossed for you! I'm going to the doctor in a little bit...but for some reason, this is the only month I know we are going to get a BFN...
My sister in law just went today for her ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby, but the little one had the legs crossed and they weren't able to see anything!!! How she found out was through a blood test, a few weeks later than she had her first one done. The doctor said to wait a little bit longer, so she did. She got a bad flu, and still had no period. So she called the doctor to check for pregnancy, as she didn't want to take any medication if she was expecting. Then she got the BFP!!! That's why I think no one should give up...until you see the big red mark in your underwear, and you know what's happening!
Thank you for the "Thank you"! You have helped me too!!! Please keep me posted! And remember...don't lose hope (I should be saying that to myself too....)

My hpt was a BIG FAT NEGATIVE, so the doctor didn't even asked for a blood test. After all of the positive OPKs, we have no idea when my period is due. But whenever that is, I'm suppose to go back on the 3rd day, have an ultrasound, do blood work, and I'm going to start taking Clomid. I believe I might have ovulated this past Saturday, so...I'll do another hpt this Saturday! Target had a sale for ClearBlue...2 for $8. I bought a couple, just so I could keep testing! I hope we both have some good news soon....maybe around Easter? Wouldn't that be great?
You are way over due for your period...what did the doctor say? Don't ever feel stupid about asking for a blood test...and do you want to know why? I'll tell you a story, true, about my first pregnancy.

We were trying to conceive, and it was our first month trying. I was having some gastro-intestinal issues. So I had a hpt done on a Monday...got a negative. Did on Tuesday...negative. So, I schedule a test (a lot of x-rays taken on a 3 hour period, while you drink a pretty bad cold glass of who knows what, for the following day, a Wednesday. I remember clearly everything that happened that week.
So, Thursday came, and I had scheduled a visit at my obgyn to see how to increase our chances of conceiving. They asked to just do a blood test, as it had been around 10 days since I had a positive OPK. I did, knowing it was going to be negative.
Guess what? On Friday, the very next day, I had a BIG FAT POSITIVE! But can you imagine the problem? I had x-rays done the day before the blood test was done. On Saturday, my second day as a mother-to-be, I find myself at the ER with excruciating pain. I thought I was going to lose the baby. I suffered for 3 months with pain, then, and until now, I suffer mentaly....just with the thought that my son could have/ could have had any complications. Thank God he is healthy, and to make things better, he has been diagnosed as being at a level of a 2 year old....he is only 16 months! But....there will always be that thought in the back of my head...
SO.....never feel stupid, or dum...or anything...it's your choice....and your money you are spending. If I had had a blood test done one day earlier....nothing of that would have happened!
Good luck

Don't give up yet! I know that hcg bellow 5 means no pregnancy yet, but it could have been too early. Did they ask you to go back after a couple of days and re-do the blood test? Can you do a hpt this weekend?
The way I look at it is that you already have a 1...I don't even have a 1!!! I have my fingers crossed for you!
I might test this weekend. I'll keep you posted!
Good luck for both of us!

It's almost 9:30pm and I have been cramping for a couple of hours now....no period yet, but I might be getting it by tomorrow morning Sad
I'm still hopeful that it could be implantation cramping, but I'm not so sure about that...
Did you have any pain? Cramping?

Please feel free to join us!!! I actually had a lot of pain during ovulation. It hurt so bad that just the thought to get down to bussiness was painful! But after a few days it went away. Then, 10 days later I started cramping again...so I did an OPK, and it was negative. A HPT was also negative. 3 Days later I got a positive HPT, but my OPK wasn't very dark. How soon after a positive OPK do have your period? Mine was always 13 days after, and on day 12 I got a BFP HPT. Did you check today? I have heard that OPKs can also detect pregnancy.
About the multiple positive opks my doctor said it could be due to hormone levels, but it was impossible that I ovulated 2 separate times. I believe the first was just a weird thing going on, and the second time was the real ovulation...with pain and all.
Please let know if I can help!

Thanks very much!It is so much better to talk to somebody who goes through similar stuff. We are trying for 5 months for a first baby. I have 30 day cycles.Every 4 months my cycle is 28 which happened last month.I usually have my ovulation right in the middle so 15 days. I did check it today.OPK was also positive.Both stripes were the same color,yesterday one was darker.Last month after ovulation my OPK was negative.That's why I do not get it.I am also so bloated today. I got ovulation pains 5 days after my OPK positive so I did it again just to check and since then it's been positive.Well I guess I will find out in the next week.
I am so excited for you!!! Congratulations again!
