I’m just curious what cycle days you did, how close to ovulation and how often that month.

my TWW starts today and I’m on cycle 9 😂

I fell pregnant this month after using OPKs. I have a 24 day cycle, and I ovulated cycle day 10. We DTD twice, 2 days before ovulation, and the day of ovulation. Currently 3 weeks and 4 days. Good luck sending baby dust 🥰 xxx

Like the pp, I have a 24 day cycle and ovulated on day 10, morning positive. I'm pretty sure the deed that did it was evening of day 9 Smile

(And I'm 38+6). Good luck!

I've got a 3 month old and conceived my first cycle.
We DTD once a day when I had the flashing smiley face (high fertility if I remember correctly) then twice a day for two days when I had the static face (peak fertility) . Did a bonus DTD for luck on the morning of day 3 !
We were newlyweds so that definitely helped 😂.
Will definitely use them when we are ready for DC2.

The best thing about the CB OPK was that it proved my ovulation was a week later than I'd have thought given my 26 day cycle! Without OPK we'd probably still be trying now.

This is great thank you. My cycles vary between 24-27 😬

did the digital opks this month and did it cd6 (empty smiley), cd10 (flashing smiley) and cd11 (peak) but haven’t been able to do it again! I know logically that should be enough and it’s more likely it’s just a bad egg month if it doesn’t work but hard not feel frustrated.

I like these positive stories :)

The month I fell pregnant we dtd the day I got the positive OPK and the day after :)

In the interests of having the maximum quantity of fresh sperm at ovulation and reducing your risk of missing ovulation, I'd suggest every other day from when your period starts until say 4 days after you get a positive OPK. Waiting until you get an OPK is a bit of a high risk strategy as it's easy to miss a peak or end up catching it but with sperm that are a bit old.

With two children, as soon as it was highest we dtd. I know exactly the dates conceived with both!

Endogal · 15/07/2022 19:33

We aimed for every other day in the fertile window! DTD the day of LH surge starting (1st positive test but only just positive), and day after my peak result so 2 days after that, so missed out the actual day of the peak and still conceived last month!

I’m aware of that but it isn’t always possible to have sex that much.

with my ds we just did it once but I was fresh off the pill so don’t know what day

@BiscuitLover3678 still trying for this baby, but with our first, looking back at my tracking, we DTD cycle day 14 (5days before ovulation) and cycle day 17 (2 days before ovulation). Had peak OPK cycle day 18 and presumed ovulation cycle day 19 - conceived first month! No such luck this time 🤣
