OPK Do you use them?
I was just wondering how many of you use the ovulation kits? Did you start after a few months or as soon as you started TTC?
With DD we just kinda got lucky but since having her my cycle has been all over the place and I have no idea when I ovulate.

Re: OPK Do you use them?
I started this cycle. I have longer cycles, so I'm not sure yet if they've been effective or useful.
More than anything, I am using them to know if I am ovulating at all. I wonder sometimes due to longer cycles.

Re: OPK Do you use them?
I'm not using them because I don't need the stress of using them. I figured we'll go with our current plan of checking CM and BDing every other day and if it doesn't work after 2 or 3 cycles I'll start using OPKs.

Re: OPK Do you use them?
I started using them this month, but I'm finding it a little stressful. I'm on CD16 and no surge yet. I know most people don't have a perfect 28 day cycle and mine is probably still adjusting to life without BCP, but I still wonder if I'm doing it at the right time, the right way, etc.

Re: OPK Do you use them?
I go back and forth with them. I have to say I am not a fan. Like the pp said, I do find it stressful and for some reason I don't have luck with them. I never get a smiley and I know I am ovulating regularly. I am trying them again this month, but it will definately be for the last time

Re: OPK Do you use them?
I started using the CBEFM two months ago, as soon as we started TTC for #2. My cycles have also been wacky since I had DS and I wanted to be able to track them.
With DS, I got PG the first month of trying and we were not tracking anything.
 To you!!! Maybe we will be pregnant at the same time again!
