Today makes 4

Question

Today makes it my 4th day for a positive OPK. So i'm a little confused, When do i know that i ovulated?? The first one occured on the 11th day exactly after my period ended, i've heard that sometimes because the hormone stays in your system for about 5days but i just dont know which one to judge. my first one my test line and reference line were about the same color, the ones after that my reference line was light pink and my test line was super dark. I've been extremely exhausted for about a month, moody as all hell, i'd have nausea here and there but nothing serious and i've heard a positive OPK could be because of a positive hCG. so i took a HPT just in case, in came out negative. I have a blood test scheduled next week because earlier this month i found out that i had a "chemical pregnancy" but while i was "pregnant" i was having what i thought was a period. so my minds all in a jumble. any insight is greatly appreciated.

I did get my pack of OPK from walmart and its the month supply. I had an IUD in when i found out i was pregnant,Within a week of finding out my hCG levels went from 14.5 to 7.2 so i've heard things from chemical pregnancy to ovarian cysts. I do believe my last period was a normal period and when it ended it when i started testing. I had negatives all the way up until my 11th day and i've had 4 positives since then. i've been keeping track of all this so i can show my OB and my next weeks appt. i've only got a few more OPK sticks left so i'll just finish them off and see how they go. i'm really hoping i'm pregnant again, my next appt is for another beta test for my levels to see where they're at. I did hear that multiple positive opks could mean you're pregnant cause the hormones are closely related, but i took a Clear Blue HPT and it was negative. maybe it's too early?!?

I had a miscarriage, i waited the 3 months my doctors suggested to ttc..then after two months of trying i conceived.  I took ovulation tests from wally world that were around 20 dollars and supplied you for the month.  They obviously worked pretty good for me! I would suggest getting those! Im not sure of the brand!

The miscarriage could definitely cause the symptoms you're experiencing and the crazy OPK results. If you haven't had a period since the miscarriage I'd wait until you do before using OPKs. I'm not really sure why some women get positives day-after-day.
