Hi all,

Just after the best OPKs to use please, as well as any tips for conception after 40?

I am fortunate to have 2DC from previous relationship and have been with my partner now for two years. We would really like to have a baby together however despite trying for several months we just don't seem to have had much luck - I may well be premature in my hopes but I'm not getting any younger!

Tips and tricks most welcome - and if you've got thoughts on which ovulation kit to use that would be really helpful!

Thank you!

Hey there! It actually looks like it's going the other way, so negative - which means I'll start testing fairly quickly after my period next month... I am hopeful that the photo from Monday was the back end of ovulation, as am now CD14.

My attempt to start 16/8 was thwarted yesterday as I didn't finish eating dinner until 8.15; I had my first food at 11am. I thought it would be fairly easy but I need to keep an eye on the time!

Thanks

Well, at least you have a better idea of when to start OPKing next cycle. Plus, you still have chance this cycle! xxx

Hello everyone! Well, my period finally arrived (what is with the whole charting thing meaning it feels like months and months since my last period when it was in fact only 27 days ago...??!), so I've got it in mind to start with the OPK's rather promptly - period usually lasts about 4/5 days - do I start testing on the day I finish to be sure?

Thank you! Thanks
