Hi girls,

AF greeted me bright and early this morning...  no BFP for me this month! 

My chart was really wacky this month.  First it took forever to O and then a couple days later FF took my O away...  I'm thinking of getting an OPK test for my next cycle.

do you recommend doing the OPK test along w/ FF or do I need to give it another month?  I went off BCP in Sept and haven't had a good cycle to chart since then.  We got pregnant right away with our first two kids and I know we're older and my body could change.... but i'm already feeling frustrated.

I'm religious about taking my temps - I take it at 4:40am every day b/c I get up and work out 4 days a week...  so I think my temps are accurate.

any other advice???

thanks!

OPKs are good, but they can only guess when you're about to O. ?It's possible to get a positive OPK and then end up not ovulating. ?So they'll give you a heads up, but you still have to make sure you got all your bases covered (as far as timing intercourse). ?I know it's frustrating, but try to be patient! ?Coming off birth control can cause all kinds of problems. ?If you're still charting and not able to confirm ovulation, then give a call in to your OB and see what he wants you to do.

I never used OPK's, but I always had a fairly clear ovulation pattern.  Granted, it did take me about 4 cycles before I could interpret it accurately.  If you want to use them, I say use them.  Good luck!
