How long between a positive opk and your ovulation day?

I had ewcm on Saturday but only got a positive opk tonight, so assuming i will ovulate tomorrow? Or is it more likely to be Wednesday?

Keep temping.

After 3 consecutive temp rises you will have a crosshair (lines on chart) indicating ovulation.

Generally the 'rule' is you get a positive opk, then ovulate 12-36 hours after.

So get BD-ing!!!

I would usually get two + OPKs and ovulate after the second one. (ie the same day as my first negative OPK). Although once I had three + OPK and ovulated the day of the third positive. I think the way it works is that you ovulate approx 24hrs after the peak, but your + test might be catching that peak on the way up or down or both.
It can only be confirmed by temp rise but its always nice to know in advance!

Thanks girls. I'm actually not charting so can't monitor that way. I thought I had a positive opk on Sunday but then did one last night and it was def positive so assuming I'll probably o today

Thanks x

I actually got a positive OPK the same day as my temp dip most of the time.. So I guess everyone is different but I'd say BD that day and for the next 3 days you should catch it then. I always found charting and using OPK's combined helped me pinpoint O easier than just using 1 method.. GL. Also are taking the test at the same time?
