Please excuse my ignorance as it's been awhile, but at what point do I begin using OPK? When I charted in past I ovulated somewhere between CD12 and CD 17. I've been refreshing my memory on FF, but haven't seen anything about this.
Last cycle I started on CD10. I was using the SMEP.
We said "I Do" Nov 2009 ~ Trying for our first Jan 2013
Me: 26 years old ~ H: 29 years old ~ Unexplained infertility ~ ALL WELCOME!!! ~ IUI # 1: March 2014 - Clomid 100mg , BFP, EDD 12/10/2014, MMC 8w5d, D&C 5/6/14 IUI # 2: August 2014 - Clomid 100mg, BFN September 5th: Consult with new RE--so happy we switched!!! October-CD 3 bw, fluid sonogram, testing for NK cells. Possibly moving to IVF depending on results........bloodwork showed low AMH, elevated natural killer cells, H SA showed mild male factor. Officially signed up for Dec IVF with intralipid infusions.
I start testing once a day on CD 10 and then twice a day on CD 15. I normally ovulate on CD 20/21. But this month I ovulated on CD 15 so I'm glad I started on CD10.
The insert in the box tells you to start on day five-ish, but after awhile you should get to know your own timing. I usually get the smiley face on day 11 or 12, so I start around day 8 or 9 to be safe, depending on how long AF stays around.
