How many days after positive OPK do you get EWCM?

Usually, you get fertile egg white discharge for one or two days before you ovulate. These are your most fertile days, and if you want to conceive, have sex when you see it. It’s also possible to have EWCM for up to five days before ovulation.

How long after positive OPK do you ovulate?

An egg should be released within one to three days of the positive ovulation test. Once an egg is released, it is viable, or fertile, for around 24 hours.

Can you ovulate late after positive OPK?

When the OPK gives you a “positive” response, you will be fertile sometime in the next 12- to 48-hours, but sometimes ovulation will not occur until 72 hours later, which may be too large of a window for some sperm.

How do you know when ovulation is over?

As you get close to ovulation, your cervical mucus will become copious, clear and slippery—like egg whites. It stretches between your fingers. Once your discharge becomes scant and sticky again, ovulation is over.

Can EWCM continue after ovulation?

It’s normal to have EWCM twice in a menstrual cycle, each time there is the normal increase in estrogen — once when you ovulate, and again when there is a second rise in estrogen without ovulation. Observing EWCM egg-white cervical mucus twice in a menstrual cycle is no proof of pregnancy.

Why is my OPK positive for 5 days?

If you’re consistently getting positive OPKs for four or five days, first make sure that you’re using the test correctly. Read all package instructions. Make sure the test line is as dark as, or even darker than the control line.

Do you ovulate same day as positive OPK?

The window is large because it is different for everyone. Some people ovulate the same day as the LH surge and some ovulate two days after the surge. The OPK helps YOU determine where your ovulation cycle falls.

Is the last day of ovulation most fertile?

You’re most fertile at the time of ovulation (when an egg is released from your ovaries), which usually occurs 12 to 14 days before your next period starts. This is the time of the month when you’re most likely to get pregnant. It’s unlikely that you’ll get pregnant just after your period, although it can happen.
