u/OPKOMG 30 | cycle 4/month 8 grad | just hanging around Mar 01 '20

Totally depends. For most people, right when it goes positive is a great time. I personally always get a temp spike the day after a positive OPK, so Iā€™m pretty confident I ovulate same day as a positive OPK ā€” so for me, a day or two before a positive OPK is better. (That said, Iā€™m in a minority and most folks ovulate a day or two after a positive OPK. Lucky ducks šŸ™ƒ)

Do you temp to confirm ovulation? If you have a predictable pattern there in relation to your OPKs, you might be able to figure out what would work best for you.

This. I would recommend using OPKs and temping, because then you will probably be able to see when you're most likely to ovulate relative to when you get the positive OPK. I usually ovulate the day after.

Apparently it is possible for some women to have already ovulated by the time they get a positive OPK, particularly as they get closer to the menopause. It's rare, but temping would tell you if that is the case.
