How many + OPK should I expect?

Okay...I'm starting to think that my having PCOS may be messing with the results of my OPK. I was very excited on Sat when I got a + OPK and was ready to see a temp shift. Then on Sun I got another + OPK but still not temp shift. I was still optimistic b/c I know the OPK can predict ovulation anywhere from 12 -36hrs (or something like that) before it happens. But then when I still didn't have a temp shift yesterday but still got a + OPK about 6pm yesterday I started getting concerned that maybe my LH is elevated b/c of PCOS and NOT b/c I am about to ovulate. I had some MAJOR o-pains last night though. What do you think? I only had a small increase in temp today...no "surge" yet. I am out of OPKs so I hope my temp shoots up tomorrow and then I will know for sure. Have any of you ever had several + OPKs before you actually see a surge?

I am really not good with those little stick things, but like i said in the other thread, I think you O'd like cd 15, but I think you will have to wait a few days to know for sure. It looks like your temp is headed north, so we will see what happens. Good luck! Your chart is looking good!

I hope you are right...it does look possible that I O'd on CD15. The next few temps will let me know for sure.

Well, I just had 4 positive surge indicators (tested for 4 days and got the smiley faces on the digital tests.) I do not have PCOS so it is possible that you just had a long surge. I asked my RE about it and was told that they don't know why it happened but that it is not bad. I was worried about the actual O date too. I had an IUI done though. I was told that after the first surge, the IUI is scheduled for the following day for the best timing. I got my first smiley face on day 15 and the IUI on the 16th day. I don't know if this helps but I thought maybe knowing it happened to someone else would be helpful.
