Ashley - those tests are not entirely reliable - but based on your other posts, I'm not convinced you are ovulating at all. We can have LH surges throughout the month (which is what the OPK measures) totally unrelated to ovulation.
If you are ovulating, I believe you should be showing positive for about 3 days.

I didn't O till day 18 this month confirmed by my temp.  Do you take your temp?  That might help to find out if you do O? I also use OPK's and let me tell you, you know when you have your surge because the line is darker then the reference line.  They are not 100% but I use them to help see the whole picture. Now if you are using Clomid that can interfere with OPK's sometimes. I temp, check CM and use OPK's.  So We will see.  Good Luck Sweetie!  :)

I THINK YOU SHOULD JUST KEEPING TRYING, TRY TO AT LEAST DO IT EVERY OTHER DAY.

When you ovulate, the egg is only viable for 24 hours.

yea, but i got my 1st positive yesturday and today its negative, so does that mean that i only was ovulating for 1 day???

I BELIEVE OVULATION OCCURS BETWEEN THE 10TH AND THE 14TH DAY AFTER THE LAST DAY OF YOUR PERIOD. SO I WOULD TRY TO HAVE INTERCOURSE EVERY OTHER DAY BETWEEN THE 10TH AND THE 14TH DAY, THAT'S IF YOUR TRYING TO GET PREGNANT.
