TTC After a Loss

Opinions on timing

This maybe a newbie question so you can flame me if you want. I have been here long enough to take it. This is my first month using OPK and my body is confusing me. 

According to FF I shouldn't start O'ing until around the 19th (33 day cycle) but I am having symptoms now. I am getting negative OPKs but I have small cramps on one side and enough CM to make me feel like I wet my pants. I got a neg OPK this morning but I am going to try again this afternoon. We BD on the 10th but not since. If I am O'ing now do you think we missed it? Do you think I am O'ing or just my body playing tricks on my mind?

Re: Opinions on timing

  • It's possible that the OPK didn't pick up the surge or that you're taking them at the wrong time.  This was my first month using OPKs, too, and I never got a + but I definitely O'd, confirmed by both my chart and bloodwork.  I'd go ahead and BD - I don't think you missed O, but it sounds like it could be coming up soon!.

  • I really don't know but I do not let FF be an indicator of when to BD or when I ovulate because most often it doesn't show until it already happened.  I would just BD as much as you can despite what FF is telling you.  FF is more for references.
  • I agree with PP.......you may have not missed it....I would def BD.  Of course our strategy is just to BD all the time until FF confirms O :)

  • I agree with juma, you might have missed your surge.

    Since you can't go back in the past, just start BD'ing now to be on the safe side.

    Good luck!

  • So another question that maybe a dumb one. If I missed the surge does that we already missed our chance? I don't know if the surge means it is over or just starting. Either way we are going to BD when DH comes home for lunch!
  • i'd BD until confirmed O.  GL!
