$80? That's odd, I got mine off amazon.ca for $50 (still very pricey). I got the 20 pack, not the advanced 10 pack.
So okay, FMU or Evening? They both work for me because my surge is at night so I tend to catch the beginning or end with OPK's it looks like. I've only done 2 cycles with OPK's. I didn't buy any cheapies because I can see myself getting stressed out and comparing lines and all sorts just like I did this past cycle lol.
I need a good plan of action. I also switched to vaginal temp this cycle, I did both last cycle and the vag were much more consistent.
ETA: My evening time is 7PM (I go to bed at 8) and my morning time would be 4:00AM. That's why its confusing to me. I assume that typical instructions are referring to somebody who wakes at about 7/8AM right?

I'm talking about the ones that give high and peak. Not sure if that's the advanced? Probably though. I'll look into amazon too!
4am is a very early wake up time...what if you did smu?

Hi ladies, I'm CD6 and jumping on this wagon! AF just stopped today, so now the fun begins!!
Planning to start opk's on CD12. Swaying girl, planning to dtd e4d plus one attempt at positive opk. I sometimes have delayed O (99.9% sure due to stressing over all this!!), so I'll continue e4d and try to take it easy this cycle! Planning on doing it low key but maintaining a mostly vegetarian LE diet and adding diet coke, coffee, and sugar free gum.
Fingers crossed that this is OUR month!

smu could work, but because of my blue sway, I start my tea and a protein shake as soon as I get up. Won't this dilute things?

You're screen name is making me crave Reese's PB cups. Badly.
We need to get pregnant asap so we can eat like civilized humans again.

Ok, so I get up at 4:00AM, pee and then hold until at least 8:00AM correct? My only issue with that is if it's positive, I need to get a BD session in right away and DH isn't usually available until 11:00AM or 12:00PM.
Like most men, he doesn't like to be on demand so I have to be sensitive . My initial plan was to test in the evening because that is the usual time we BD anyway so no biggie, then catch him before his wake time and then again that night.
If I test later in the morning then I'm looking at a possible attempt around 11AM/12PM and a few hours later that evening and possibly again the next morning at 11AM/12PM. If it's too close together, it will be very tough.
I'm unsure my urine will be concentrated enough in the late evening like it would be in the morning. So the issues really is BD haha.

Haha this made me laugh out loud !!
My husband loves these and bought some about 8 weeks ago and I had one out of the pack of three (couldn't resist!) they're so awesome !!
Yes I hope I fall pg nice and quickly too I see some people swaying for months on end and I honestly don't know how women do it I'm giving myself until March April latest and that's it il learn to somehow live without a dd or revisit it in a few years (I'm 29) I can't live and eat like this for too long - my husband is such a good chef and I miss his amazing food !
Fingers crossed Jan is the month for us ! Xx
