TTC for baby number 2 help needed

Hi Atomic just posting again so that you can reply when you read this.... thanks

Thanks for your patience!

The peak is NOT the darkest but the first positive OR first solid smiley.

You don't have sex the day before peak because you can't predict that. Have sex the day OF peak (one or two times) then sex the next day in the morning if at all possible AND again that same night (so twice on that day) and then one time the following day in case of delayed ovulation. Then go to every other day for a couple rounds in case of delayed O.

DO NOT have sex every other day. This doesn't work well for a boy because every other day ends up being either O-6, O-4, O-2, and O Day (2 attempts max as O-4 and 6 are too far from O) or O-5, O-3, and O-1 which is like 1 1/2 attempts since O-3 is generally too far from O too and O-5 for sure is.

Faint lines are not positive. Only when the line is as dark or darker than control is the test positive. We use that hormone for lots of things so it can be present in small amounts other times of the month, only when it's REALLY coming in does it pinpoint ovulation for us.

Is your cycle regular otherwise?? if OPK aren't working we may need to figure out some other strategies. Can you tell me what time of day you are testing with the OPK?

Thanks for your reply atomic..my cycle is regular...28 days...I usually start testing on 11 or 12th day but haven't really done that for 2 3 months just did last month and I guess I missed the ovulation...
So this month I'll start testing early perhaps? When I see the solid smiley ( hope I get it in time as will use ckearblue first time? Will bd as you told.
From experience which tests do U prefer the cheap opk or ckearblue smiley ones?

What time of day are you testing?

I am testing just once around 1 O clock...should I change that

no that's a great time to test, let's also, whenever you think you're getting close to ovulation, add in a second test just before dinner. That way if your urine is too diluted you will have a second chance at the positive.

Starting CD 10 should be getting you in with a positive.

I have no preference on cheapies vs. Clearblues. whichever you like better.

Or, if you don't care that much about timing you can just plan to have an attempt CD 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and then leave it at that.

Thanks atomic will start testing at day 10. I just bought the ckearblue ovulation test and on the manual it says test First morning Urine....shall I follow that or still test in afternoon around 1?

The Clearblues are supposedly calibrated differently to work in the morning, but I still think we see better results with testing in the early afternoon. If you feel you're not getting good results in the morning we can try the afternoon, or both.
