Really could do with some advice

[Emmalouise5688]

So me and my hubby have been ttc since October no luck as yet I came off my pill the end of September. Been tracking cm so far had ewcm most months last month didnt have any. So I thought this month I would use opk's and temperature charts. My last period started the 27th of Jan and ended the 31st of Jan. When should I start using opk's and temperature charting? Also anyone have any advice to boost our chances?

Your OPKs should come with a guide as to when to use them based on how long your cycle is. For example I have a 31 day cycle and start using them on day 14 until after I've have a positive and then gone back to negative.

It's frustrating but worth remembering (and I found it helpful to remember when trying for our first) that only something like 20% of perfectly healthy couples doing everything right will get pregnant each month. It took us 5 months with DD and now TTC number 2.

Good luck.

@Emmalouise5688 do you know how long your cycles are? If you have any internet cheapies it might be worth starting tomorrow just to check you’re ovulating when you think you are.

Thanks ladies. My cycles are 28 days long had one cycle that was 30 days long the rest have all been 28 days x

Start temping from now I'd say. Then you'll have some baseline pre ovulation temperatures to let you see a temperature shift when you ovulate.

My cycle is a few days shorter than yours (24 days) and I normally start using opks on cycle day 8 (with cycle day 1 being the first day of your period).

Fertility friend is a good app for tracking all your fertility signs.

Thank you. I sound like a nut but im doing anything possible this month. Already noticed cm starting to change so im hoping this will be our month x
