multiple positive OPKs - TMI warning!

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, it is from PCOS and it is very normal occurance. you have higher levels of the hormone which the OPK detect and can also get surges outside of when your egg is able to be ovulated.

You are really supposed to use your urine from after lunch for doing OPK because it's more reliable.

Hey ladies! The pregnancy test was negative.

I guess I am going to try temping again. LH is so tricky. I'm still going to use the OPK strips, too. I wish I didn't have PCOS. It is really obnoxious and I don't think it helps with girl sways at all.

Thanks for all of your answers! Will continue updating this thread next month.

Good luck sweets.

Thanks so much! I'm just waiting on AF now.

[fresas]

AF is here (about 3 days late), my OPK is negative, and started temping.

I probably will not try another OPK until after AF is gone, but am going to try to keep temping this cycle.

Not related to OPK tracking, but I'm also planning on taking my pH before and after orgasm through intercourse. I will not be using any lubricants or repHresh. We are still TTA. I am going to test DH's sperm pH as well.

I feel like a mad scientist. Mwuahaha.

sorry she got you, temping is definitely a good plan

[fresas]

So far temping has been a disaster again. My BBT is all over the place because I haven't been sleeping very well or very much.

OPKs are negative.

[rainbowflower]

are you adjusting temps if you wake up at different times?

[fresas]

Rainbow, I am not sure how to adjust temps based on waking time. I will definitely look into it. I have been tracking temperatures, but my waking time is so wildly inconsistent so I'm not sure if it's doing any good. But, I will look into it.

OPK report: test line is close to being as dark as control line, but it's not positive. Also CP and CM are not fertile appearing/feeling.

pH report: We DTD today. We didn't use protection or lubricant. We used pH strips and specimen cup for DH.

My pH before was 4.5. After orgasm was 5.0. DH's sperm was 8.5.

I want to do another easy DTD around ovulation (no protection or lubricant) and test the before and after again. I want to test after using repHresh and Sylk, too.

I feel like this is getting ready for swaying. I guess maybe it is even though we're scared/not sure about having more kids.

I'm wondering if the SP and vitex could also affect LH levels resulting in the multiple positive OPKs, not just the wackiness of the PCOS? What do you ladies think?

If we end up officially swaying, we're going to add licorice root to both of our supplements probably a month before. I may try a cycle just for my PCOS to see what happens, too. I just don't want to be on it too long because LR has some hypertension risks.

DH has been exercising a lot (he is a soccer/footballer) because he has weight to lose so I know that may not help the PCOS/testosterone issue for swaying girl. He has to stop taking the fish oil and calcium, too. We will probably add Crystal Light and lots of artificial sugar to our diets.

I'm kind of anticipating having multiple positive OPKs this month again.

Fertiltiy Friend includes a temperature corrector tool, available from one of the menus at the top

I've actually had less pos OPKs in a row since I've been taking the vitex
