Help! Did I ovulate already or am I still going to??

Question

I took an opk test this morning and it looked as dark as the control. I took another a couple hours later and it wasn't as dark, took another tonight and it looks light again! Idk what this means. I'm supposed to ovulate the 2nd. Did I already ovulate or am I still going to!? I'm completely new to opk and trying for #1! The top one is from this morning.

Answer

Not familiar with this brand, but usually darker/as dark as the control is positive.  If it’s continuing to lighten, then your surge is likely trending down (typically your LH surge which stimulates ovulation lasts 24-48 hours)... and the vast majority of women ovulate within 72 hours of the surge.  An egg lasts 24 hours after you ovulate... so, you likely are on the back end of the surge and are currently ovulating!
