I'll be totally honest in telling you that I have gained a significant amount of knowledge, while trying to have a baby. Most of it has come only in the last year, when I really started to track cycles, test with ovulation predictors and keep track of other signs and symptoms.
One of the things I learned about the OPKs? A positive result doesn't mean you WILL ovulate.
I thought it meant that you were or you would. Evidently, our bodies have a surge of LH (the luteinizing hormone) a day or two before we SHOULD ovulate. Some women will get a positive and not ovulate at all. How did I not know that?
So, the OPK is just sort of a guide, as to when we should expect to ovulate. I mean it's still a great tool to have! Because I know, when I got my positives last year, I always acted on it! I bet that's when I got pregnant.
