Not really but...

I am not really TTC but I do POAS just about every month. Brian and I don't use any protection. We just use the pull out method (how I got pregnant with Jakob). So I am still hopeful. Brian knows there is a good chance we can get pregnant this way but he doesn't seem to change it. We have discussed it and he is okay with me getting pregnant but he just can't seem to plan it. So I may post here sometimes but I don't chart or anything. I just keep up with my cycle and POAS a lot lol!!

I am hoping your stay here is nice and short!

Do you do OPKs each cycle? It helps to feed my POAS addiction and I actually get to see 2 lines occasionally, which is a nice change.

I have never used OPK's at all. I have thought about it. I guess I am not sure that I could figure out when I am Oing. I am always wrong about my O time. How do you figure out when to take the OPK's if you don't temp?

Since your cycle is usually 30 ish days then you start using them approx 14 days before AF is due assuming your LP is a normal 14 days.

Go to the $ Tree and pick up 10-15 OPKs and start using them on CD 10 of your next cycle. Use one each day until they turn + which tells you are having a LH surge, which indicates O is near (within 24-48 hours). The BD directions my OB gave me was starting CD 10 every other day BD and then once I get a + OPK, BD every day for 3 days.

You can test in the early afternoon with the OPKs, but my OB has said that FMU and testing in the am is okay too.

HTH

Thanks I just might do it next month. Even if its just to see when I am Oing.

How much are the OPK's at the $ Tree?

They are $1.00 each and there is one in a box.

Okay thanks so much!!
