    You can get them at chemists and supermarkets too though, just more expensive.

    Usually the best time to test with OPKs is in the afternoon (3pm works great for me), and then make sure to have sex that same day, or at the latest, the next morninh. But sooner is better bc you don't want to miss the egg.

    Atomic has a whole book on how to use OPKs to sway that I definitely recommend you look into buying if you have lots of questions as using OPKs can be complicated, especially with how pink sways tend to throw off cycles and delay ovulation.

    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 remověng 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

    Don't worry about not being able to get PG with just one time. I have three kids and 4 PG which prove one time one try works

    Knowing when you ovulate is key. Most women don't really know when and how to predict it. I suggest you get LH tests or opk and start monitoring your cycles. This will help you feel confident about when you ovulate. Every 4 days is a safe way to catch the egg. If you want to do abstaining for a girl Atomic recommends it only for men under 35.
    Love my (2006) (2009) (2013) (2014)





    THANK YOU GENDER DREAMING!!!!!

    i dont think we will be trying shettles method or 0+12
    Just one attempt, at or just after pos OPK. I would NOT wait 24 hours after pos OPK, your odds of conception decline dramatically the longer you wait.
