OPK experts - need advice
(Repost from TTC forum ) I stopped the pill March 21st to start TTC for #2. Got my period March 24th. Since then, no period, no pregnancy. I started taking zinc and magnesium supplements 5 days ago and eating tofu/soy to help restart my cycle.
Starting TWW. Anyone else? I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.
TTC #2 (or more) and married group-Join Us! I started a TTC group for women who are ttc #2 (or more!), and married. I didn't do it to specifically exclude others, but to allow women in similar situations to find each other. We can all still happily participate in the general forum, but I thought it would be nice to have like minded people to talk to about ttc and motherhood. If you would like to join let me know and I'll send you an invite!
started my period today. was really hoping I wouldn't. :( moving on to TTC for 14 months.
So I thought I was starting my period. I woke up this morning with tiny cramps nothing major. I then had to use the bathroom and I was spotting. It has since went away and I hope it stay away. My last period was Dec. 28 and I should've came on Jan. 25th but nothing.

I honestly wouldn't start testing until after your next period. If you haven't had a period since March 24th you're kind of wasting your sticks. When your period ends, start testing that day. Lines can be faint at any point in your cycle because we carry the hormone in our body. It's only positive when it's as dark or darker than the control line. So short answer, wait till you end your next period. Good luck!

I'm not temping yet but thinking about it starting to do it. It might help me more than OPKs. Thanks PP!

About the faint lines, it's my understanding that not matter where you are in your cycle you can get a faint line and it's no indication of a solid line coming soon.
Do you temp as well? That's what helped me along with opks.

Soy is so controversial when related to people with low estrogen but I'll stay away from it with what I read. Thanks PP!

Ahh, interesting PP, I had read on mindbodygreen to eat soy if you lack in estrogen after stopping the pill to help restart a normal cycle. I'll research it more to make sure I'm not causing more trouble, thanks!

Soy actually decreases fertility. I would do some research on it. I'm a vegetarian but I'm cutting it out until I conceive.
