Ovulating?

Question

I jus took the bottom test. I started testing on CD 10. Im now on CD 13.  How long does a ovulation window last for?

Answer

You should ask this in the TTC group. Not everyone in this group knows enough about OPKs and such to give you the answer you need. 
Luckily, I do. 
Ovulation only takes about 15min. It is the moment the egg leaves your ovary. About 12-48 hrs before you ovulate, you have an LH hormone surge. The OPKs are detecting that surge. So when you get a positive OPK, it is an indication that you will likely ovulate in the next 12-48 hrs. 
Once you ovulate, the egg can survive inside you for about 24-48 hrs without being fertilized. While sperm can survive inside you for up to 5 days without an egg. So in order to have your best chances at the two meeting, you should be having sex at least every other day during the 5 days before you likely ovulate, then, once you get your positive OPK, you should have sex that day, the day after (ovulation day), and the day after that. 
After that, you pretty much just have to wait two weeks to take a test to see if it worked. Good luck.
