    Ok thanks . That is reassuring .

    As for my one attempt I vary from one at opk or every 4d . I’m on cycle day 9 and leave on cycle day 12 . Would you go with every four days or do a positive opk attempt ?
    I usually get a positive opk anywhere from 10 ( being very early ) to cycle day 15 😩 it makes
    Things pretty confusing

    You need to be at e4d immediately, and after giving that a couple months, go to e4d plus one. No more with one attempt if you've been trying that long.

    So if I’m on cycle day 11 now ? Would I do an attempt tonight then cycle day 14 ? Or as soon as positive opk ? What if I get a positive tomorrow or next day and have an attempt tonight ?

    Yes have attempt right away and then keep going in the e4d pattern (this is for straight e4d)

    If you would prefer to go to e4d plus one already, do the e4d pattern and then add one more attempt at pos OPK whenever that falls (while maintaining the original e4d pattern)

    DON"T change the pattern of the e4d at positive OPK. the e4d just goes on. Then continue the e4d even after you think you've ovulated. This will guard against delayed ovulation

    Thanks for the reply . For some reason I couldn’t reply while away . I ended up having an attempt on positive ppl while gone . Sat with legs up for 45 min . I’m back and got my period on cycle day 23 😩

    I’m slightly frustrated . However not totally surprised as we had two releases with in 24 hours prior to our attempt ( excited about our vacation) .

    I thought my chance would be someone good as we were relaxed . However we were drinking almost all day and night and eating tons . Maybe it’s a blessing ??

    As for the every 4 day attempts . I’m so confused how to . Say I start on cycle day 7 would I attempt again on 11 then 15 then 19 ? Or do I count it like a period ? Like start attempting day 7 then again 10 , 13 and 16 ... . Most of my positive opks are day 13 , 14 , 15 but I’ve gotten then on day 12 and 16 as well ( not sure when I ovulate after that ) every time I attempt on a positive ppl I feel like I have such a good chance but I always end up getting my period - mostly around day 23-26 and sometimes up to day 28 . What if I have an attempt on my e4d cycle and the next day get a positive opk ? What do most people do or would you suggest for me ?

    Also do you know if a positive opk means that I will definitely ovulate with in 48 hours ?

    It would go 7, 10, 13, 16

    That is the reason why we go to e4d - because for all we know some people very well may have a better chance of conception the day before or day after pos OPK and this introduces an element of randomness into the mix.

    If you get a positive OPK the next day, you have a choice. If you want best chance of pink, stick with attempt you've had. If you want a better chance of conception, have another attempt at positive OPK while continuing on with the e4d.

    DO NOT try to jockey around the days to make your attempt come out on the day of pos OPK. We're trying to change things up not keep them the same.

    No it doesn't, unfortunately. OPK can be false positive or false negative (and in some months, BOTH! you might not get a positive when actually ovulating, and then get a fake positive later on - usually about a week after O)

    OPK are lousy technology but unfortunately they're all we have.
