I've used the clearblue digital tests and got a smiley face yesterday! On cd13...
But today my Internet cheapies are darker? Wth? Does that mean I'm ovulating today?
I'm not temping and haven't had a blood test done yet as the lab thought I ovulated earlier ? Dh goes back to work tomorrow... And the last chance I'll get to bd is tonight... will it be enough?
Mega confused...
Thanks

Congrats on positive OPKs You could ovulate today or tomorrow. Remember that the OPKs detect the hormone surge which means O is imminent, not that it's happening 'right now'. Most women O within 12-48 hours of receiving a positive OPK so keep on BDing tonight then cross your fingers for the TWW. Good luck!
I agree with what Taurean says. A positive OPK usually means O is within 12-48 hrs of the pos OPK.
But my gut feeling is to go by what the digital OPK results as they would probably be the better brand and maybe more trust worthy? But thats just my opinion.
Definitely BD tonight (not like I need to tell you that ) and good luck with your TWW. I hope this is the one for you
Regardless I am a little confused. Didn't your phone call to the lab on Sunday following one of your blood tests every alternate day tell you that you were ovulating then? OPK's are notoriously unreliable when on clomid (especially if you have pcos). Much better to rely on your intensive monitoring.
My lab testing has stopped as I was sick of the lab telling me that I was going for Ovulation Tracking, then not doing the tests that they are supposed to monitor (Under LAB MANAGEMENT!)
Now they said on Saturday because my levels of e2 were above 700...'You COULD be ovulating - have a test on Monday to confirm. So I had the test. They didnt test for e2... So I have nothing to compare to. Therefore I am only going to be 'monitored' by doing OPKs and a 7dpo (7days till AF) Progesterone test. Do you understand it now haha I know, confusing. I had to get my head around it all. I probably didnt explain it very well in the other thread.
Anyway I have had for the past 2 days o pain and pimples and EWCM!!! Yay! So I am thinking today is the day as my opk is rediculously positive... and i know its not from the Clomid as my doc and the lab techs said that clomid SHOULDNT affect the results of an OPK if the OPK is done 3 or more days AFTER the last tablet!
And N2L - I dont have PCOS, Well my doc said that i dont after 2 CLEAR u/s and CLEAR blood tests! (Thank goodness!)
But as the pp said, opks don't indicate ovulation. They indicate a surge in LH. Ovulation occurs 24-48 hours later. Once you have ovulated the opks are blank usually. My clinic doesn't test for e2 at all while testing for ovulation. It can be determined by LH and progesterone so your tests on Monday should be conclusive.
