Probably: This doesn't sound abnormal - or worrisome - to me. The idea of "4 fertile days" is not really biologically correct; the OPK are somewhat misleading in that they have "dumbed down" the fertility concept. If you had 3 + in a row, then a - sounds like your ovulation happened and was detected.
