What's more accurate OPK or EWCM

I'm on cd11. OPK testing since tuesday (cd9) still not showing LH surge, but have ewcm. So which is a more accurate indicator of where I am in my cycle? I would tend to go with the ewcm, but it's a bit early (28/29 day cycle). That said, the OPK hasn't helped us conceive for the last few months, so maybe I should save my cash?!

When I conceived my last baby, now 11 weeks old I was using opk's. It said there was no surge at all, I just got a very faint line come up on one day
I would go with what your body is telling you. I have used them with sucess, that is they dectected a surge and I became preg. They are not always reliable though. Good luck

I would start having sex when you see the EWCM and stop when your temp drops.

OPKs are just not right for some people. There is quite a lot of margin for error, the difference of a few hours can be where the surge is, and it's easy to miss??

EWCM is more reliable in my opinion, as it's something that you can see/feel without the need to time it right. IYSWIM?

Good luck.

Decided to go with the ewcm being the best indicator, so fingers crossed!
