One attempt at +OPK has good results. If you haven't already, DTD. Hoping you haven't missed the boat (I would have attempted at CD16)...

Are you doing O+12? It cuts your odds of conception tremendously, and Shettles has been debunked.

Timing doesn't sway, so your best option for a girl is to not DTD at all until you get a true positive OPK, then just DTD once. Also, I would really recommend you switch immediately to a better brand of OPKs, as that brand is by far the worst I've ever used. If you're in the US, Wondfo brand from amazon.com (make sure to get ones sold via Formosa Medical, as many fakes are being sold lately). If you're outside the US, ClearBlue digitals with the smiley face (NOT the Advanced digital or monitor) are the easiest to find decent option.

One attempt at first positive OPK is our method, but that is not in line with Shettles.
For Shettles, you don't go off of OPK but instead have that one attempt 2-3 days before you expect ovulation.
WHATEVER you do, stick with the one attempt as long as possible.
Welcome, I hope you stick aroudn for a while because Shettles is kind of a cruddy method, doesn't really work for people.!!! Questions??
