how long after a positive ovulation test do i need to wait to take a blood test?

Question

i should know all this, since i have 3 kids, but now that we are trying for the last one, i am curious about how long it would take to show in a blood test. we had a positive ovulation test saturday. please only comment if you know something about it. some places say 4-5 days and others say as many as 13. whats the truth? please some helpful advice would be great. Thanks

Answer 1

I assumed I ovulated the day after the posiitve ovulation test, and then waitied 12 days after that. Most tests can tell you by 12 DPO. With my first pregnancy I bought really sensitive tests and for a really faint positive at 7DPO, but this time I waitied until 12 DPO and got a really dark positive line with just a regular test. I get my period 13 days past ovulation, so it was 1 day before my period was due. Good luck.

Answer 2

I would wait at least 18 days after a positive opk. Because once you get a positive opk you will ovulate in the next 12 to 48 hours or longer. So you don't technically ovulate on the day you get a positive opk. Best wishes ttc!!!!!!!!!
