Hi everyone.
Been trying to conceive now since March 2016. Getting very down with it all in all honesty. Have had doctors tests, nothing much seems to be wrong. Have been told to just keep trying.
Have been using OPK's but not with much luck.
They confuse me slightly if I'm honest. I've took a photo of one I've done tonight.
Is this positive?

OPK positive?

I don't think it's quite there yet but very very close. I'd test again in the morning and again tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck Smile

Ah ok, thank you!
I'll hold off jumping my husbands bones until it's slightly darker then Grin

It's better to have sperm waiting for the egg as it can live for 5-7 days, but the egg only 1 day. It also takes 10 hours for sperm to 'acclimatise' inside you before it's able to fertilise an egg (capacitation). Get shagging!

See the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. Advises every other day DTD from CD 8, then the day of and day after OV, leave a day then go again (I think...been a while since I TTC!).

Oh really? I wasn't aware of the acclimatisation for the sperm! We've DTD last night, and this morning. The line was definitely darker on my OPK this morning too!

I wasn't either, but I research everything to the nth degree, and found out in about my 4th month of TTC!

@alysonyawn don't wait to DTD for positive just go as much as You can a before and a bit after and then you have covered all options! Test again tonight it might be darker. Here is my positive if that helps??
