Re: Newbie question

Hmm, FF says it can occur before, during and maybe after. Have you been taking OPKs and the've all been negative, or did you just take one today? I would just keep taking OPKs and monitoring CM. If you already Oed, CM would most likely not be EWCM.

No, haven't been doing OPKs until today. We literally just got on the same page about TTCing, so I'm starting right in the middle and just hoping for the best...but not keeping my fingers crossed for this month! Thanks so much for the response!



How long is your cycle normally? I think, again depends on cycle length, most people start testing with OPKs on CD 10. Keep testing at least until CD 20 if you have average length cycles and see what happens. Hopefully you'll get a Chat Icon before that. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: Newbie question

If your cycle is 26 days, you may be Oing early. Mine is 27-28, and I usually O CD 12-14. Good luck and welcome!!!

What type of opk are you using? I just ask because I only would get a positive with the Clearblue easy smiley opk's and not the cheapie line one's.

Re: Newbie question

if youre cramping and see the right consistency in CM, Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon !!

OPKs are generally not 100% reliable. The best way to tell when youre most fertile is to go by CM.

Good luck and welcome!!
