OPKs and BF

[jessbear10]

Hi everyone
After some tips on TTC!

I am still BF my 16m old maybe 3-4 times in a 24 hour period.

I have had periods the last 3 months but cycle lengths varying from 33 days to 25 so really hard to predict ovulation.

We want to start TTC #2.

When should I use OPKs? I have the cheapies and also the clear blue 2 most fertile day ones.

This month I am on CD14 and have been testing for 3 days and no hint of ovulation.

Just wondering if there is anything I should know or any tips when it comes to OPKs. I don't have the energy to have sex even every other day and nor does DH so I think OPKs are essential

I really don't want to stop bf so really hoping this works.

Thanks everyone!

Bump :)

@jessbear10 Morning Jessbear 😊
Sending you lots of luck for trying!

Good idea with using both cheapies and clear blue that's what I do, my cycle varies between 28/32 days but I tend to start using cheapies about day 10 then using the clear blues... by the way this cycle i had pretty much nothing until day 16 I got a sudden peak.

Do you have the pre mom app? You upload a picture of your cheapie and it gives it a rating I find it very helpful, I'll send you a snippet of mine. X

Here you go

Thanks @RMS0209 !

How many times a day do you test? No I haven't got that app I'll download now thank you! X

@jessbear10 this cycle isn't good to go by, I was sulking since I had nothing by day 14 I remember crying 😂
Personally I'd do the clear blue once a day and when it goes flashy try twice a day? (Try hold pee for a while)
But the cheapies I'd do 2 x a day too until your result gets a bit higher, I use the easy at home cheapies from Amazon and they tie up good with that app x

@RMS0209 thank you :)

I have a bit of EWCM (sorry if tmi ) and lower belly ache this morning so hopefully something is happening!

@RMS0209 best of luck and fingers crossed for you! X

@jessbear10 ha ha I've realised on this app that nothing is TMI!
Lots of luck, if you need anything else I'll try help as best as I can.
Have a fab weekend! X

@RMS0209 hey 👋 do you think this looks like I may be about to ovulate? Most recent at the bottom of the pic...

@jessbear10 hey!
I'd still say that's very faint, I'll find one of my positives from last month x

@RMS0209 yes still v faint. Will pee on a stick again later and see if it's darker :)

You want your line to be as dark or darker than the control line 😊 but be aware sometimes mines peaks out of nowhere!! X
