Frustrated with Fertility Friend

DH & I decided to start TTC in January.  Unfortunately, he was sick for almost two weeks so we didn't really try until February.  I used FF w/ DD & I found it to be very helpful, & I got KU quickly.   I realize FF only makes predictions based on what I input.  However, based on my temps & other signs, I Ovulated on CD 16 (red line appeared on CD 18) I think we timed our BDing pretty well.  Well, on CD 23, the O line switched to CD 19.   I've never had that happen before.  So while its certainly possible to get pregnant, I'm sure our 20% chance (if we even had that) dropped significantly.  I know it is our first real month trying & I can't obsess or I'll drive myself crazy.  But I'm already of AMA & not getting any younger.

Question--I did not use OPKs with DD.  Any recommendations?  How often do you test?  It looks like some ladies test multiple times in one day? I know I could check out TTC & ask over there (I've lurked a little), but it seem like several of you have used them so I thought I'd ask here first.

    I used the cheapie opk's from amazon when ttc Paul, and I liked them a lot. I temped, too, but I would start using the opk's about 10 days after af. I can't remember, but I think I tested twice a day? Once in the am and once at night.

    I hate that!

    FWIW, the month FF moved my red line was the month I got Lauren!

    I use the Wondfo brand OPKs from Amazon. They're super cheap. I actually just got my newest order of 100 OPKs and 20 HPTs and it was $24.99. I used a clearblue digital to get the smiley face to confirm. I am stopping the pill when my current pack ends (Thursday) and I am going to TTA until September by charting. When we were trying for Audra I used OPKs from around CD 13 until my positives went negative. I tested twice a day, around noon time and then dinner. This time I won't test at noon because I work in a different office and can't run home at lunch, so I'll use FMU and then test around dinner time.

    Now that I think about it and look at my chart, FF was confused on my O date for awhile the month we got Audra. I'm still not convinced that it picked the right date but oh well.

    I tried OPKs for the first time the month I got pregnant with #2. I bought the internet cheapies because my cycles are in no way regular and I knew I would need a lot of them. I tested at least in the morning, and then if I didn't forget, I would test at night. After quite some time of negatives I finally stopped. One day I randomly tested because I felt other signs of O and it was +!

    Anyway, FF moved my lines every month (if I even got them at all!) because it gets so confused. My temps are always ok, but my CM and other factors are always wonky. I learned to just use FF as a simple tracking tool and not to put too much weight in it. Hang in there, you still have a chance! :)
