A member asked:

I had a positive on an opk 3 days ago but this morning i am spotting. does this mean the egg has just released and i should have sex or its implanted?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation: Implantion occurs more like 2 weeks after ovulation if the egg has been fertilized. Spotting 3 days after a positive ovulation predictor kit is more likely to be due to the hormonal swings associated with ovulation. Hope this helps.
