Question about timing...

[atomic sagebrush]

It isn't though. Daily intercourse for longer than a couple of days without a break has been well proven to lower odds of conception.

pos OPK is as dark or darker than control. If you have trouble with them, you can use cheapies to get you close and then switch to clearblues for confirmation

Yeah I feel like I have never gotten a true pos. I have a fertility monitor that I used when I conceived because of it. I know I was ovulating though because I got pregnant. The OPKs are confusing to me because of that. I may go ahead and get some and play around with them so I can get a better idea.

I never used to get +OPKs...like 2 in 3 years. Then when I started seeing an RE, she told me to test twice a day. Each time you have to "hold it" for 4 hours with no fluid intake for the last 2 hours of it. Both test after lunch, so I would do one at 2pm or so then another at 8pm. THEN I started seeing the +s.

For me, when I did get one OPK where the lines were the same, I was not O'ing. I ended up O'ing about 5 days later.

Ok I will try that and see how that works for me.

if a fertility monitor works better for you, use that. nothing magic about opk, we're just trying to get an attempt in there when it's good odds of conception. that's all. nothing to do with doing it right at pos OPK or anything. 50-50 boys and girls conceived thru the entire cycle.

Hi Shanna! It's me from FB mommies group. I got pg (at 36) with just one attempt at positive OPK. It can happen! Good luck! Funny, I totally remembered your screen name from SC and knew it was you right away.
