When you get a +opk, when is ovulation?

[DesertRat]

I don't chart as I have PCOS and it's too unreliable but I have a bunch of opks I take on occasion. We're recently TTC this cycle. Long story short, I got a positive OPK last Monday afternoon (9/3) and again Tuesday morning (9/4). I had what I thought was CM Tuesday and Wednesday but it could have just been that DH didn't use a condom in the first time in a long time.

Anyway, I'm trying to wait as long as possible before POAS. Preferebly 10-12 dpo. If my opks were positive on the 3rd and the 4th, what day would I most likely have ovulated?

5th

If you definitely dont want to test earlier then that, count the 6th as 1dpo.

Hard to say. OPKs are often mistaken in women with PCOS.

I tried "charting" my cycle by taking opks every day for several weeks. I know they are often light to almost positive. These 2 were very positive. Also, my cycles average 6 weeks long, and I took these opks at 4 wks and 2 days into my cycle. So, I'm fairly confident it was a real positive. Despite having PCOS, I've been able to get 4 healthy kiddos.
