Does a negative OPK after a positive mean I already ovulated?
Does a negative OPK after a positive mean I already ovulated?
A: Ovulation does not necessarily happen after the OPK turns negative. It could happen, but that’s not the rule. What matter solely is when it OPK FIRST turns positive not when it eventually becomes negative. Ovulation happens within12-36 hours after the OPK FIRST becomes positive.
Does LH test turn negative after ovulation?

Do ovulation tests fade after ovulation?

Can you get pregnant with negative OPK?
Can I get pregnant if the ovulation test is negative? If the test is performed correctly and the LH surge has not yet occurred, you cannot get pregnant.

While it is unlikely for a woman to use an ovulation test at the end of her luteal phase when she is well past peak fertility, some do and — if they’re pregnant — can get a positive result.
Will OPK be positive if pregnant?
Coincidentally, you could have a positive OPK, an elevated LH when you are pregnant, but a positive OPK will not confirm the pregnancy. You could have a false positive OPK but not a false positive pregnancy test. A positive OPK will not tell you with enough certainty that you are pregnant.
Can you ovulate 12 hours after positive OPK?
Yay! OK, now some more math – since we know ovulation happens 12-48 hours after a positive OPK, an ovulated egg lives from 12-24 hours, and sperm lives for as long as five days, we can say you should definitely have sex as soon as you see an LH peak and for up to three days afterward.
Is day after positive OPK too late?
The short answer: not long. Eggs are only viable for about 24 hours after they’re released. That, combined with the 36 hours between a positive ovulation test and ovulation, means you may only have about 60 hours (or 2 ½ days) during your cycle when conception is even possible.
Can ovulation test detect pregnancy before HPT?
