OPK question

kwald64

Ok so I am trying to chart for several months before i TTC. I am in my first month and since I have never kept track I dont really know yet how long my cycle is. I thought I would be getting my period this week but then I just started ovulating last Wed. I thought I had missed my ovulation this first cycle then one day I started to feel slight crampy twinges on my left lower abdomen. I thought what the heck and took an OPK. The answer came up fast and both lines were dark and the same color. The next day they were lighter but both the same color. Didnt get a chance to test the next 2 days but today Sunday I just wanted to see. My test line was way darker than the control line. What does that mean. According to the directions the same color or darker than the control line is ovulating. But how can that be its been 5 days since the first possitive test? And when the test is possitive does that mean you are fertile and you WILL ovulate soon or that you ARE ovulating?

Thanks for any tips you can give me in my charting adventure!

i tried to attach a pic of to OPK's that i took today. its 4 days since my first +OPK and its still showing up +. today i took two different tests by 2 different companies. one my line was way darker than their line which should mean a + and the other the lines were the same. so im still showing up +. I have been doing some reading and it says that it could take awhile for my cycle to get back to normal since i was on the pill for so long. I am on day 26 and im still getting the + OPK when I should be getting my period soon. I did get my period within 4 days of going off the pill so i thought things would be normal. should i not worry since its so soon or since I did get my period should i worry that things arnt progressing normally?

thanks
