Good Evening All, I bought a First Response OPK - 20 pack Opened box today and it said start day 5 of cycle. I'm at day 6. Anyone ever use and started after day 5? Also, read some reviews and they weren't that great!
Last month I think I did ovulate really early like day 9 or 10 (AF came day 24) so I am now thinking I will start using my OPKs around day 8 (tomorrow-I'm day 7 today and we just morning quicky-ed;)
Some months you might waste them bc you ovulate later. So it's up to whether you want to just risk wasting a bunch or possibility exists that you O early.
TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.
Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.
July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal
DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes. Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube. If that doesn't help then move to IVF.
Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help. Doubts I have endometriosis. My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!)
