Is it possible to get positive OPKs without actually ovulating? I don’t track BBT; TTC is stressful enough and I think my anxiety negatively affects my ability to get pregnant, so I’ve never really temped because I feel like it will just stress me out even more. It’s my understanding that the only way to know for sure if you ovulated is by temping, which I don’t do.

I don’t really even need to use OPKs because I can tell based on CM and libido when I’m at my most fertile, but most months I do test just to confirm my suspicions that I’m ovulating, and I always get a positive OPK. I’ve been trying for over a year to get pregnant with baby #2 (technically baby #3, baby #2 ended in an early miscarriage) and I have a doctors appointment scheduled next month to have some bloodwork done to start to see if there’s anything holding us back, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m actually ovulating at all, despite a very regular menstrual cycle and monthly positive OPKs.
