We have been TTC no 2 since the beginning of this year and after a few months of just BD ing (weird term!) at what I thought was roughly the right time with no luck, we are now trying to be a bit more scientific about it.

Bought OPK last month - never got more than a feint positive line but went with it as it was more than shown before but no joy. Now think may have been too early.

Now on Day 23 of roughly 35 day cycle. Been testing for 5 days - 3 days of feint lines (but the packet shows a feint line as a negative). Have CM in last 2 days but not clear (not sure if have this, never paid much attention before!!) Also have slight abdominal pain. Question is really - do we hold off having sex and keep testing for next few days or just go for it as don't want to miss the best time to BD! But don't want DH to peak too soon so to speak ( - sorry TMI I am sure)

We would really like to conceive this month or next as age gap is going to be bigger than we wanted already now (should have started TTC earlier).

OPK sticks work for some people and not others.

Unless your dh has fertility issues then have sex everyday you have EWCM and until the day after the EWCM has finished.

Good luck Smile

I had my first ever positive on OPK yesterday. What time of the day do you test? I was testing at about 2pm because I knew it can be later in the day you get the LH surge. Yesterday I tested at 8pm and the test was an almost perfect match to the other line! Smile But I wouldn't go just buy the kits, they only pick up the surge if you test at the right time!

I wouldn't totally trust OPKs as they don't always work - I never got a + when I fell pg with DD!
