OVULATION predictor test, these lines!!!! Am i ovulating?

Question

Hi everyone!
Quick question, ive been taking ovulation tests. Period started Oct 24th, ended 5 days later. Took opt 2 days ago, both days faint pink lines, but today it is alot darker, however a TAD bit lighter than the C line. Now ive read that this happens and possibly im ovulatiing and if i dont have sex or wait, it can be pink tommorow, every other day it was really light, now its pretty much the same color maybe a tad lighter. The only reason i believe i may be ovulating is because i have the addominal and back cramping, I usually feel like i have period symptoms during ovulation...So is it a safe bet to have sex every day for a few days? Or should i wait until tommorow? Cervical mucus is not alot but egg like suposed to be. Is this right before i ovulate????how many days until i am.....sorry to be so graphic! My periods are irregular and i never really kept track of the length of my cycle....thanks SO much for any advice!! xoxo

but the line was a tad lighter than the c line.....but compared to other days, the line was really light pink...these tests are so confusing!!! i thought the line had to be darker, ill just test again today, but we already had sex last night :0( so should i wait until tomorow?

Answer 1

You are getting close to ovulation. Remember you may only have an increased surge of LH for less than 12 hours so this maybe as close to a positive as you get. I would quit testing and make sure to have sex every other day for the next week or two. You should be covered then. Also not all women get the eggwhite cm. I would have sex today and then every other day. A positive means you will ovulate in the next 12-72 hours. Best wishes catching the egg!!!!

Answer 2

I would DTD tonight to cover all bases! Since sperm can live up to 48 hours?? I believe... so do it tonight, take another OPK tomorrow.... if the test line is DARKER than the control line that means you will ovulate within the next 24-48 hours, so just DTD every night (or day!!)
Good luck! I got pregnant the first month using OPK's with my 4th daughter~

Answer 3

If the test today was the dark one, have sex today. Chances are you will ovulate within 12-24 hours. The egg is viable for 24-36, but sperm are viable in your body for many days. Have sex today and the day after tomorrow. It takes 72 hours for him to replenish his sperm count, so having sex every day is risking firing blanks.
