I’m actually really angry. I’ve been using OPKs for six months (the first month was a test month, we weren’t TTC) and I’ve got no peak reading three months out of those six.
What is the actual point if you can’t rely on them?
I get high oestrogen readings for ten days, so we bd a bit and hang on for the peak and then realise it’s probably gone.
I know we could do it every day or every second day during the fertile period but I worry that it would put my DH under too much pressure, and after the year we’ve had I’d like to avoid that.
I feel like relying on OPKs has actually hurt my chances, because we have some nice relaxed bd in the first few days of the FW, and then hang on for a peak day that doesn’t come, and by the time I realise that it’s too late.
It’s not impossible that we conceived this cycle, but it’s less likely , and I’m so angry and upset because I don’t know what more I can do.
I tried to be less obsessed this cycle, took my temperature, did my OPKs, but didn’t google anything, came on here less often, hoping that would make me less emotionally invested. Thought about it less, because all I had to do was dtd when my tracking stuff told me to. Right?
Fuck it anyway.
