have some questions..

Hi everyone..

I am coming back to TTC-Nov. was our first month since my MC back in AUgust.. I am having a difficult time with temping-last month, and this month I wanted to try the OPK's. I have used them before, but could use some suggestions on when to start. Last cycle was 26 days, and started on Oct. 21st. I got my period this past Sat. (Nov. 15th). I thought I had it this month, but I am assuming I O'd between Monday 11/3-Friday 11/7, DH and BD'd only until Weds b/c I lost my grandmother that Thurs.. So, this month, I wanted to start using the OPK's-and my cycle isn't totally normal.. can anyone offer suggestions on how to determine what day to start the kit? I got the Clearblue Easy digital...

Any advice would be great-thanks and sorry for TMI!

Good luck to everyone!

Hello
welcome!!
first i'm sorry about the mc and your grandma-i recently had a mc and lost my grandma as well so I know how you must feelChat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
as far as when to start I believe you should go by your shortest cycle
for example if your shortest cycle was 26 days then you should start testing on cd9 - does that make sense?

Good luck!!!Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

There should be instructions in the booklet about when to start... like the PP said, go based on your shortest cycle.

Best of luck! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon
