getting started with OPKs
UPDATED 12-11-17
When researching OPKs, I found that there is already a lot of extremely well-written and easy to understand info on OPKs out there. Rather than totally reinvent the wheel, here are some links that will help with OPKs.
http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/fertile.html (FAQ)
http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com...tor-tests.html (user guides)
http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/results.html (how do OPKs work)
http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com...ctor-kits.html (reading results)
http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/calendar.html (when to start using OPKs)
http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com...veresults.html (more q and A about OPKs)
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/...s--OPKs--.html (FAQ and how to)
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/...itive-OPK.html (can you o without seeing a positive OPK?)
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/...ovulation.html (how long after a positive will I ovulate?)
http://www.fertilityfriend.com/Faqs/...ovulation.html (advantages of using OPKs)
There is also excellent and clear info on the TCYOF site but to be honest, it has SO MANY ADS that even though I have the highest speed internet available it still takes too darn long to load up.
Also, if you Google OPKs on the "image" setting, you will get TONS of great pics to look over so you will learn what you're looking for.
Sites where you can buy OPKs and other equipment for TTC -

Most of us do just get them off of Amazon.com, if you get the ones from "Formosa Medical" they are much higher quality.Last edited by atomic sagebrush; December 11th, 2017 at 03:49 PM.

Also, I wrote a book on using OPK for swaying and it will answer most questions people have. (Plus the money goes to allowing me to do this as my full time job instead of having to work outside the home - thank you!)

Great article! Can I add that I use the strips from early prego tests.com, and I just recently purchased the super cheap little sample cup that they sell on that site for less than a buck, and it has made testing SO MUCH EASIER for 3 reasons: it catches the pee without it spraying on your hands, it is little and very easy to wash, and it has a little stand for the stick so you just set the stick in there and let it go. You know if I take the time to write about a cheap pee cup that it's worth the 75 cents!

I know! I was hoping it would come back, a couple people told me it disappeared a few times before and then reappeared but it's been too long now. I have my OPK for swayers book coming very soon so hopefully this whole thread will be rendered obsolete and I will delete it.

She ended up writing a whole ebook on using OPKs to sway which you can buy on here.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

Hi everyone, I gave birth to my first lovely daughter in September. I was wondering what would be the best timing to start trying for another girl? Would that be a year after giving birth, 18 months...
Best timing for ttc girl after...
