PCOS +OPK: This could simply be very high levels of LH turning the test positive. If you have positive LH indication on multiple days, the LH testing may not work for you to predict the day of ovulation or if in fact you are ovulating.

Normal: There is no reason to do an ovulation predictor kit if you have already confirmed ovulation. The OPK will stay positive for several days.
