Multiple Positive ovulation tests???? CLICK HERE PLEASE?

Question

I have been using internet cheapie ovulation tests for several months now. I decided this month to buy answer brand. I have had 5 positive ovulation tests in a row. Does this mean I still havent ovulated? Does this mean something is wrong with me? Or maybe it could mean I am already pregnant??? I have heard that the ovulation tests will be positive when you are pregnant. My period is actually due in less htan a week according to fertility friend.....my first positive ovulation test was almost a week ago...is there a chance that i could already be pregnant or is this a sign of something else. any answers are greatly appreciated.

P.s. The internet cheapies have NEVER given me a positive result in about 6 months of using them. This is why I am rather confused.

I have regular cycles. The last 5 months they have been between 30 and 33 days, which a variance of a few days is normal. If PCOS's signs are irregular or long cycles, then why are mine normal....could it still be that?

Answer 1

Is it possible you're pregnant? I know that women who are pregnant will test positive on an ovulation test as well as a pregnancy test.

The above answer about PCOS/gearing up to ovulate are also plausible. It sounds like a good time to check in with your doctor to investigate.

Answer 2

My ovulation tests (that are also internet cheapies) are what I first used when I thought I was pregnant, because they can also work as pregnancy tests. I then went out and bought a real pregancy test to confirm. If I were you, I'd go get a pregnancy test.

5 days seems too long to have a positive due to normal ovulation, so it could be that your body is trying to ovulate and having a hard time so the surge keeps happening. This happens a lot with women who have PCOS. I always had 3 days of positve results. I caught the surge on the way up and the way down. The following is from www.peeonastick.com.

. What if my OPK is positive for several days in a row? It is possible, in a normal ovulation, to have a positive OPK for several days in a row. This is because LH peaks (surges) about 12-36 hours before ovulation occurs, and then dissipates. So, you could theoretically detect this high level of LH with positive OPK's from the time it begins to the time it dissipates-- over 36 hours.

It is also possible that your body is "gearing up" to ovulate, and you have an LH surge-- and then, for some reason (such as stress, illness, travel, or random fluke), your body fails to release an egg . . . then tries, tries again ASAP with another, or overlapping, surge. If you see a positive OPK for longer than 3 consecutive days, your egg is probably just having a little trouble getting out of the starting gate. If this happens to you occasionally, it's no big deal. If it happens a lot, talk to your doctor.

6. What if my OPK is positive almost all the time? The most common cause of constant positive or almost-positive OPK's is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS.) This disorder is usually characterized by elevated LH (hence the positive OPK's), and is common in women with very long and/or anovulatory cycles.

Don't self-diagnose, though! If you're worried (or just plain obsessed with your pee-sticks ;) call your doct-- okay, okay, you know the drill ;)



7. Can I use an OPK instead of an HPT to detect pregnancy? Check out the OPK-as-HPT section for a detailed answer. The short answer is: an OPK will turn positive if pregnancy hormone is present, but there are many reasons an OPK could be positive. To be sure, you should use an HPT to detect pregnancy and an OPK to detect ovulation. Mixing and matching can get your hopes up

Answer 3

I use Answer Brand 20 strip daily ovulation tracker. Worked well for me until this month. Got positve CD 14. THen continuous positives CD 20,21,22. Stopped testing and went to a ob-gyn. Usually they ask you to stop testing after the 1st positive. I had a Preg test done at the doc and it was Negative. if LH is continuously high, it may mean you have PCOS. DOnt worry, its not something that cannot be treated. If you have regular cycles, then the Anser stick did not probably work. If you dont get your period this month in time, I would say its time to go to a doc.
