    ovulation / opk

    Hi

    hoping someone can help please been looking at the stats for ttc girl, what is the difference between opk and ovulation? Im assuming opk is dtd when you get your first opk but is dtd on ovulation the day you get her basal temp dip?

    Thanks in advance x

    Well opks don't tell you when you'll ovulate but the odds are that if you dtd sometime shortly after you get the pos opk that you'll catch the egg. I think the only way to be sure about ovulation is through ultrasound but I could be totally wrong. I know the charts can be misleading too. I'm sure a seasoned pro will chime in though.

    Yes, and I would take those stats with absolutely NO faith whatsoever. You have no way of knowing if those people had O day right and they may have just guessed when they ovulated.

    We have a well done study that used high levels of technology to pinpoint ovulation and it shows very clearly 50-50 boys and girls conceived every day of the cycle.

    Please don't use our statistics, which are self-reported and almost for entertainment purposes only, to decide you're going to DTD on a particular day.

    That's very good that you know that! In that case yes def. start with a cut off becausegoing to day of temp dip to have attempt may unneccesssarily lower odds of conception.
