    I would have serious doubts about these OPK's. In fact I would disregard them altogether. Do you have PCOS? It can make you have the hormone surge and many pos tests even when you are not ovulating. Do you chart your temp at all? This is a much more accurate way of working out your cycles and discovering when you are ovulating and even IF you are ovulating.

    In a normal cycle, OPK's would show a pos for 2-3 days as the surge only happens around 48 hours prior to ovulation. After you've ovulated it should go back to being neg.

    Another thought- have you done a preg test? Sometimes a pregnancy can make OPK's show pos results.

    Good luck honey

    Thanks ladies for your prompt responses

    No, I don't have PCOS.. Yes Im thinking I should disregard them.. Maybe just go by the 'standard' according to the online calculators that I possibly ovulated on or around the 24th.

    No, I haven't tested yet, since Im still about 7 days away from being due, so it would be too early.. Hmmm.. And the thing is, I got a good brand (first response) ..

    Ive never done tempting either, maybe ill try that for next month

    Were the tests old?

    I know I have used some old opk's before and they were a bit iffy. same if they were even the slight bit damaged where the lines come up..

    HTH and that its actually from being UTD and you get a bfp!
