New to TTC & OPK help

Hi ladies Chat Icon I've been TTC lurking for a while, I was just getting familiar with everything in the TTC world. We left to chance for the last few months with no luck, so we're diving in now.

I have an OPK question... I have irregular cycles (40 day, then 100+, then 30 something, etc..) This is my 1st month using an OPK and I'm up to day 30 with no Chat Icon ... should I bother continuing for this cycle? I feel like I'm wasting tests, only 1 left in the box, but I have another if I should continue..

I'm not familiar with irregular cycles but I believe Red Raspberry leaf tea can help regulate them...

thanks for the welcome Chat Icon

I haven't gone to the Dr, I know I really need to get there. My mom was always the same way with her cycle.. so I'm hoping no issue since she had us with no problems

Re: New to TTC & OPK help

i have crazy cycles as well..im on cd66 with no af and no bfp...i have been using opks forever and never get a Chat Icon ..i have pcos as well..but with my crazy cycles it gets expensive...so i have now been temping and hopefull that works..

i would def suggest it if u have long cycles cause the opks can get expensive and at least in my case if i do O..which i dont on my own anyway..i never know when to use the opk anyway


hth good luckChat Icon

Re: New to TTC & OPK help

with long irregular cycles like that, i would suggest seeing the dr to see whats going on. You can also try temping to confirm when you O. OPKs will help predict when you O but it doesnt confirm it, plus if ur cycles are that long and irregular it can get expensive.

good luck!
