Re: WTO w/o June 5

  • Month/Cycle: 7/7

    CD: 3

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, CM, OPKs, Acupuncture, BD once it’s FW

    R/R: My first acupuncture appointment is on Thursday, so I’m looking forward to that. Acupuncture has helped me with other issues before, so hopefully it will help with fertility!

    CS/Q: I’ll be trying OPKs for the first time this month. When should I start using them?

  • @britters314 I'm new to OPKs but from everything I've read, start testing once your period ends. Once daily until closer to O and then do twice daily.

    WAYDTGKU: I'll probably do OPKs again closer to o. Start temping once my thermometer comes in, cm.

    R/R: 

    CS/Q: anyone use pregmate ovulation and pregnancy test strips? I bought them a few months ago but noticed some negative reviews have started showing up for them. What is everyone's preferred cheapies? 
  • kbru88kbru88 member
    @britters314 I normally five days before I estimate ovulation. But I would test everyday if my cycles weren't so long. I'm averaging 40+ day cycles. 
  • @britters314 I have used them every TTC journey. I swear by OPK’s. Since I O between days 21-24, I start around CD12, unless my body seems to be moving quicker. 

    @kbru88 I use wondfo and clear blue as my OPK’s and pregnancy tests. I don’t do CB pregnancy tests until I feel certain it was my month, so they are just hanging out in my cabinet 😂 too expensive! 

    Month/Cycle: 15/12 AL

    CD: 19

    WAYDTGKU: OPK, tempdrop for bbt, pnv, CoQ10, so many other things I can’t think of currently…

    R/R: summer is here and I am living it up! My hibernation period of summer is almost over. Then I’ll start actually doing things, but for now I sleep and watch Netflix 👍🏼 

    CS/Q: feeling closer to O. FW is kicking hard this month. I feel O coming! 


  • @bserena @kbru88 @ejoseph16 Thanks! I usually O around CD 12-15 so looks like I should start using them in a few days 
  • @britters314 I usually start around CD9 because I typically get a positive between CD10 and CD12. 
    @kbru88 I like Easy At Home brand for OPKs. 
    @ejoseph16 Woohoo for the end of school! 

    Month/Cycle: I’ve lost count. Coming up on 2 years next month, with some month off along the way for losses/bench/surgery/etc

    CD: 16

    WAYDTGKU: BBT/CM/OPK, acupuncture, some supplements for my eggies, BD

    R/R: I was on HBC for 20 days last “cycle” and it pushed my ovulation back. I had one OPK left yesterday and finally got a positive at CD15, so that’s exciting that my body is getting back to business. My husband has been sick and we weren’t planning on actively trying this month, but we got busy last night so 🤷🏻‍♀️. I am technically supposed to be on the bench this cycle but after almost 2 years I just couldn’t bring myself to actively avoid pregnancy. 

    CS/Q:


  • @kbru88 I’ve been using Pregmate, and they work fine. My only complaint is that the pregnancy tests never seem to turn positive! 🤣
  • kbru88kbru88 member
    @tryingmybest1 I have similar complaints... 🤣😭
  • Month/Cycle: 2/2

    CD: 7

    WAYDTGKU: BBT/CM, BD

    R/R: I had been on the Nexplanon implant for the past couple of years and my sex drive is way up now that I'm off it! I've always struggled to have a sex drive that matches MH, so this feels really good.

    WAYDTGKU: OPK/CM, timed sex

    R/R: We’re having a yard sale in 2 weeks and I am in no way prepared! I love the actual day of the sale because it’s fun to connect with neighbors and stuff (and make a lil $$ 😉) but they’re such a pain to prep for. I’m really hoping to sell our janky old bedroom set from before we got married because I have my eye on a new one!

    CS/Q: first month using CB — anyone else use them? I’m trying to figure out when the best days to BD are based off when they start showing I’m fertile. Hubs doesn’t think he can handle me every day 😂😂


  • @hedgepig I love that for you! I was blown away when I went off birth control at all the things my body does that I was masking. Now I can tell you my fertile window without any OPK or CM just based on the change in libido. Enjoy that extra sexy energy! 
  • @hedgepig yeeeeeees for sex drive! DH has learned quickly when I’m in my FW because all of a sudden my sexy drive is crazy! 

    @peacefulmockingbird I use CB and cheapies. The cheapies give me more accurate timing. My CB goes to peak before I truly reach my LH surge. But my high readings can last a long time, so the cheapies help me narrow down ovulation. 
  • @maggiemadeit @ejoseph16  I wish my libido worked that way. Mine goes down during FW and up before/during AF. Really unhelpful for TTC.
