Hi,

I'm pretty new to all this but I was wondering if you lovely ladies could help...

I came off of mycrogynon and finally got my first proper AF after forever 3 months. Lots of homeopathy, b6 and EPO. I'm now CD11. I have been using opk (cheapy eBay ones) as I want to try and see if I'm ovulating.

So I wondered, what day should I (typically) ov (the 1st?) and what time of day should I use the opks? Also I take b6, EPO, magnesium and zinc. Should I stop any when/if I ov.

I've been on the pill for 8 years and prior to this I had super regular 28 day (heavy and sometimes very painful) cycles. I had a scan and there were no visible problem.

What other symptoms should I look for and when?

Stupidly I didn't put a title but that one seems fitting

Hi hon,
Ovulation day varies from person to person but it should fall between CD 10 and CD 20, however it has been known that some ladies will begin earlier and later than that.
I would recommend you test with OPKs twice a day, one at 10am and one at 6pm, starting from CD10 and see how you go. Only then will you know when you actually ovulate.
Also, even though you may get a postive OPK, it doesn't mean you ovulate although this is very unlikely so please don't panic. Please also bare in mind that when you see a positive OPK it doesn't mean you are actually ovulating on that day. This just detects your lutinizing hormone and you are ABOUT to ovulate, possibly 12-36 hours later
Other symptoms to look out for is Egg White Cervival Mucus (Spermies love this stuff), maybe some cramping where your ovaries are, maybe some sore boobs, being really horny

Good luck xxxx
