I am having some minor cramping this morning. I took a opk and it was a negative. Should i just start taking opk test twice a day? I only temped one month fully since being here, but FF perdicts my fertile week starting on Monday.
I think it is a good idea to use OPK's twice a day, espeically since you only have one cycle temping under your belt, and can't fully rely on that to know when you will O. The cramping could really be anything, but keep paying attention to CM, and OPK's, and hopefully you can nail down your FW this cycle. GL!

What kind of opks are you using? I was having a hard time getting a positive with cb digital and i would have to test multiple times a day but now that i use wondfos i get much better results! if you usually o the same time every month it wouldnt hurt to test twice a day so you dont miss it.
I think the OPKs twice a day are a good idea right now, especially if you have cheapies. Also, what kind of cramping are you having? Does it feel more like a stabbing pain in one side or the other, or is it lower stomach uterine cramps, or maybe you just ate something weird?
I think they are just cheapies. ( someone over on 1st tri sent them to me after finding out she was pregnant). The cramps were on the left side for the most part, but they are all gone now. I am going to start doing the opk's twice a day. I usually get EWCM for a couple of days a month and I think that is when I might be fertile, so I am keeping my eye out for it. Thank you ladies for responding!
