Help is anyone familiar with Premom fertility tracker??

Do you start testing with opk straight after AF is over ? How do everyone uses OPK? I have been using the cheap strips while checking body temp.

Unless your period lasts a very long time yes you can start after your period. I like you guys to start checking with OPK before the earliest time you expect to surge (CD 8 is a good time to start with, you can probably move this to more like CD 10 once you're used to it) so you can see the strips go from fully negative to positive.

Hi Atomic

Jumping in on this - how long after the egg is released does the temperature rise? Last cycle I had a peak show on my clear blue advance monitor just after lunch and positive on cheapy sticks at the same time of testing (which had been dark but not quite enough to be positive with testing that morning). By the next morning (7am), my temperature had jumped right up. This seems really fast, unless temp starts to rise pretty much immediately after ovulation happens.

Thanks!

It varies. While it takes an average of 36 hours from first peak to ovulation, this isn't always represented by a temp rise at a particular time. Contrary to what they tell you on other websites temperature alone doesn't tell you when ovulation occurred exactly and so a higher temp doesn't necessarily always mean you've ovulated. That is why we need THREE high temps to tell us when ovulation has occurred, and even then it doesn't tell us to the day, let alone the hour.

I’m currently on CD 1.. which means this last cycle was a 27 day cycle. But it does mean I did indeed ovulate about 13-14 days ago as AF started some 13-14 days after I got a positive line on the opk strips. I had a feeling AF would pay an early visit just around the time it’s time to conceive my cycle is now becoming a little wacky! I’m usually clockwork with a 29 days cycle.

Atomic I’ve already started taking mucinex because of some congestion I’ve recently had. The instructions suggest we can take mucinex every 4 hours, I would continue to follow the every 4hours?
And we stop taking mucinex at the time of a positive opk?

27-29 days are still all in normal range! No worries about that at all.

Yes just follow the directions on the label but I'd keep going till 3 DPO. that way we'll give the sperm a chance to find the egg and a good chance for the egg to make it down the Fallopian tubes (it needs fluid to do that as well)

[afya1]

Thank you! I’ll definitely keep it up until 3dpo.

With pre seed, how much do you recommend we use for our attempts?

About a quarter size dab. Not a full applicator. Men seem to find that too slippery.

[afya1]

Great! I totally agree with the slippery part. Lol

With my BD-ing pattern.
So far O day is supposedly 1st Jan which is CD 14 for me.
Let’s say I was to O on CD 14 if I was to Dtd on:
Cd 6,
Cd 10 (O-4)
Cd 12 (O-2)
Cd 13 (O-1)
CD 14 O day- evening.
Cd 15 O+1 following evening
CD 17 ( cover late ovulation)
CD 19


this is pretty much the BD pattern I followed when we conceived my DS.
I do know I didn’t get to squeeze in CD 17 and 19 in because we went away with my in laws!
Is this too much Bd-ing? Generally speaking we dtd every 2-4/5days. But I wanted to know if this would impact DH sperm
After CD15 we would do every other day to cover late O?

no it's great, FX you ovulate when you think you will.

That is very much how I and many of the other boy moms got our boys.

Hey Atomic, I needed some help with BD-ing

We are carrying out our attempts. I am on CD 11
I’m using both Clearblue opk and the Wondfo strips. On the CB I got a flashy smiley today but the strips have shown a fainter line.

I could get a peak either on Thursday CD 13 or Friday CD14. Now I’m confused should DH and I go ahead with an attempt tonight. Yesterday we DTD. Today I could either be O-3 or O-2.. I want to save the multiple attempts for closer to O day, or is it ok to do it every day at this point?
