Morning ladies,
OK I did an pok this morning and it was + (yesterday was -) and my temp hasnt risen..
Any idea when you actually do 'o' after it is picked up by and opk?
Im kinda reading mized reports, and thought I might try to clarify..

Also (SOOOO silly Im sure ) should you really stay lying down for a while (like over 10 minutes) after dtd....

Thanks!!!

Im no expert, but im fairly sure it is about 48 hours after you get the + opk that you O.

re laying down after dtd - I do.. and I pop a pillow under my butt

Generally O happens 24-48 hours after the OPK positive. OPKs register the hormone (LH) surge before O, and if I'm not mistaken, it's actually that hormone that triggers the egg release.

It's possible to get 2 days of +OPKs before your temp surge. Keep BD'ing (and stay lying down) until you see your temp rise. Good luck!

And I also prop myself up with pillows after dtd for about 20 minutes.

I actually get +opk's from 2-4 days before ovulation when it gets really dark it's a true positive and O can be 24-36 after a + goodluck and I am told it's best to lay on your belly or back.

Ditto to the OPK's and Ditto to laying!!!

I just wanted to add that a lot of women swear by the Instead Softcups after DTDing...

Goodness... i have never heard of these 'soft cups'...... going off not to do an internet search to see if they are available in Australia.

Sorry Sally, I have never really had much luck with OPK's but from what I have read I think you get a LH surge 24-48 hours before o?

I also do what Bel does and prop myself up with pillows after dtd! It seems to have worked the times I have done it!

Good question!

Does anyone know if you get O pains then two days later EWCM - when O would have been?
