My first question is about opk's.I have used opks for only two months now but this month I had 4 days. Of positive opks and was wondering if it's normal? The second question is how do I know when to start testing for pregnancy?I don't know if I start testing 12 days from my last positive opk or from the day I had bad o pains? My cycle has been so messed up since last January when I had a miscarriage.I need some help me and hubby have been ttc for 10 months now with no luck.

I've heard of some people getting a +OPK for multiple days, but I don't think it happens often. I don't know much as we're still early in our journey, but I hope someone can be of better help.

Welcome! This is an amazingly supportive board!

Hello and welcome. I am very sorry for your loss. As far as OPK's I've had 2 days of positives but never 4. Can you post a picture of them? Sometimes they are almost positive but not quite. The control line should be darker than the test line for it to be positive. You should ovulate 24-48 hours after your last positive OPK. AF should arrive roughly 14 days after that. So it depends on you. If you want to start testing early the earliest I would start would be 12dpo. Another thing you can do is if you think you O'd but aren't sure your doctor can do a BT to confirm ovulation. I hope you get your rainbow baby soon.

Thanks ladies,the tww seems like an eternity when you want to know if your efforts have paid off. I can't get into my doctor till next month so I just have to take the wait and see approach.

also with the pics, you may need to have more than 10 posts to be able to post pics and you will have to upload them to some sort of image hosting site such as photobucket or flickr.
