Atomic. I just need some reassurance and verification lol.
So I’m going to start testing prob around cycle day 11-12 or so. Text after lunch once a day. As I get closer maybe twice (I haven’t been doing that) and then when I have the first positive opk, bd at that time (even if it’s that night after getting the opk pos around lunch). DH can abstain for 7-10 days and one unprotected attempt at opk pos. No need to do a cut off (I need to try to get that out of my head lol)

I think you need to start before the earliest you can possibly O. So I'd start more like CD 10 or even more like CD 8 to be sure you start with a negative test for sure.
But other than that, that sounds great to me!

Okay will do!! Do you think it’s possible to get a true positive on CD 11 with a 28 day cycle? With no other symptoms? I’ve never gotten a positive that early but it’s been a darker negative. Just curious.

Yes absolutely. We have people sometimes tkaing 72 hours after first positive when they're testing regularly. Within the wheelhouse for sure.

Okay good to know! But ah I hope not ha. That would definitely mess up my pervious tests and what I thought I knew ha. But I will see. We had a cut off last time Due to schedules and ovulating a little late, so I want to try to be able to be at that positive opk. Having him abstain still. And then trying not to use any lubricant. I think that also hindered things.

Just because it happens this month, doesn't mean it happened in the past. You ahve all different times to ovulation after the first positive OPK. There's no set consistency from month to month.
Sounds great! Keep me posted!

Do you recommend testing twice a day for OPK? In the afternoon and night? Or Is that not really necessary.

For sure test with OPK after lunch (around 1 pm). If you want, you can add in another test prior to dinner (not at night but like 5ish) to guard against your pee being too diluted at lunchtime. But I'd only do that at times of month I felt it was likely to have a positive!

Okay thank you!! We DTD last night and I just knew it would be positive today and I had the kids so I didn’t think I would be able to get away. It was positive about 5:30. So “assuming” Ovulation is 24 hours away i guess it would be a two day cut off. One other protected BD about 6 days prior. (That was the only thing that worries me) but I’m good. Tomorrow “ovulation day” would have been my grandmothers 90th birthday and I have always loved the name Elizabeth so we shall see!

Not sure where to ask not TTC
