What a difference using opks makes

CantWait2Be

If I weren't using opks ff would have marked o day as cd 16 or 17 based on all other info in my chart. And wow what a difference. Id like to think ff is pretty accurate but.... Maybe not if you're not using many fertility tracking methods

I didn't chart at all when I got pregnant. I used OPKs exclusively and got pregnant on the first try. Granted, I know that I was very lucky and many do not have the same experience. 

I just miscarried that pregnancy, so I'm hoping it's as easy my second time around.

I also used OPK exclusively and got pregnant on the first try.  I actually ovulated on CD 7 so we would have completely missed it if I had not  been using the OPK.  We lost that baby, however, and this time around I plan to do more detailed charting including CM and BBT to get a more complete picture of what is going on.

I have stocked up on OPKs and am planning to use them this cycle.

I'm definitely a believe in using both, especially if there's a possibility you don't O at the same time every cycle.  It's good to know when it's coming and good to know when it's happened, neither method can tell you both.  (I always worried that I got a peak, but didn't O, so still charted).

I'm using OPK's for the first time this month.  I took clomid this cycle and I want to be extra prepared this month!
