On day 10 and Day 11 of my cycle, I started doing OPK test and got low fertiliy. How many days of high fertility do you usually get?

I started trying OPKs last month and on my first ever test got a peak fertility on day 13 and low fertility day 16.

High fertility days are very dependent on each individual person. I usually got 5ish days of positive OPKs but many only get one day or sometimes even less than a whole day. You’ll want to make sure you test from around CD 8 until you get your solid smiley. 

I will say that I used a CB digital ovulation test for months and it only matched with my cheapie sticks one or two times. The month that I actually got pregnant it did not match.

update: Day 12 I got high fertility and today is day 13 and got peak fertility. Last cycle I had peak fertility at day 13. Though I wonder if my estrogen level is too low if I only have one day of high fertility

@happiness2020:  have you tried the little cheap ovulation strips? There’s a reason why so many people prefer them. With cheapies, you see the progession of your LH surge (as lines get darker/lighter), whereas with CB, you’re just trusting that they’re interpreting it and relaying it correctly to you. Most people have a fairly short LH surge, but you’re fertile for a few days before that and a day or two after.

@happiness2020:  Digitals aren’t really made to be read once ejected. If you’re wanting to see line progression you’ll want to buy som sticks. My favorite brand is the easy @ home brand. You can get them super cheap on Amazon and use them with the premom app.

I got flashing smiley on CD 10 and on CD 10 evening I got  static smiley face (peak fertility)! Today is CD13  and I’m getting flashing smileys (high fertility)  again! Has this happened to anyone?

@happiness2020:  I didn’t think you were supposed to keep testing after your static smiley?

I typically only gone one day of high fertility at most, and one of peak fertility at most. My 6 month old suggests that is not necessarily a particularly bad sign.
