TTC #2 question

Lithgirl

So, next month, DH and I will start TTC for #2.  If we have no issues, then that would mean a May baby. DD will be exactly 1.5 years old. I would be ECSTATIC to have a baby in the warmer months, especially when I will have a toddler on my hands this time around.

Although I EBF for 6 months and am still BFing once a day, I have been getting AF regularly starting 8 weeks after DD's birth. I decided to use OPKs this month just to see if I was ovulating (which I figured I was, but was pretty sure that ovulation was happening after CD 14 rather than prior to CD 14 like it was when we conceived DD.)

Well, I was right about that too, but I completely forget the deal with the OPKs. I got a positive yesterday, so I'm probably Oing today - right? This morning I got a negative result, so does that mean I O'd yesterday? I can't remember all the rules with these things even though I so was desperate after my miscarriage that I could have repeated almost every TTC website word for word. Help me if you can remember! Thanks!

if you got a + tonight it means you'll O in the next 24-48 hours.

so a positive result one day followed by a negative result the next day is normal? i guess i should google this. why can't i remember???

hmmm, i think the pattern is typically 2 positives followed by a negative and you generally O on the day of the 2nd positive.  at least that's how it worked for my IUI.

I only used opk's for one cycle, but I tested twice a day and got a + in the am, + in the pm, and a - the next day, and I had O'd the same day as my +. That was just my experience though. But if you get a positive and then a negative, that means the LH surge is over and you have already O'd, right?

I believe... if you got a + yesterday and a negative today then I believe you to be Oing last night and this morning. I think there is a link in my siggy to my Chart that shows my OPK tests the cycle we got pg with DD, I think.
