It took over 6 cycles where I definitely ovulated. It took longer than 6 cycles if that makes sense.
My body was (and possibly still is?) guilty of cycles where I don't ovulate, so I "removed" these cycles from counting (yup, accept this is a bit loopy, pretending I didn't have 70 day cycle at one point, or months where no confirmation on OPK's!) - but made me feel better at the time.
back in 2010 - I had just started the ball rolling with tests at GP's to see if there was more to it as had been pill free for longer than we had been trying and the month after I got my BFP.
It was just "our month". We did nothing different than any other. Only difference was I had blood results to say nothing up with hormone levels! I would need to look up exactly what was tested, but was several things to rule out any obvious reasons).
Due to one reason and another, if BFN this month, I will be making a GP appointment to see if they can check for cysts, and also do a blood test to check all ok. I have avoided OPK's although tempted to use them again, so really just trying "going with the flow" based on cycle dates.
I tried temping last time round, but definitely not for me
