Q: got a unexpected positive opk earlier than normal but managed to have sex the day after positive opk, is that still good timing?

OPK's &amp; sex: Most ovulation predictor kits (OPK) test for a hormone that surges prior to ovulation. Many times the egg has come and gone after the OPK has turned positive. However, other than a basal body temperature chart, that is the best the consumer has for ovulation timing.
