Need TTC guidance! So just to give some background... I usually get af on the 22nd of every month,…

Anyone?

The ovulation tests should be started around day 10 (1st day of your period is counted as day 1) and start from there. Take them 2 times a day, once in the morning and evening. Does not have to be used with first morning pee.

Once you see a line that is darker (or as dark) as the "control" line then that's considered a positive. That means you could ovulate in the next 12-24 hours.

Don't have advice for temping because I never done it and I never used the preseed either.

Once you figure your ovulation you then plan your days of having sex around that.

I'll give you my example:

I have a 28 day cycle, I ovulate on day 14. I have sex every other day (day 10, 12, 14, 16 & 18). I read having sex every day of the week of ovulation is too much and then you get immature sperm. ANYWHO 3 days in a row won't hurt either around ovulation (day before, day of & day after).

I'm currently 5 weeks with my 3rd. I got pregnant with my 2nd & 3rd after TTC one cycle (one month!).

Hopefully you will get pregnant soon (or already are!) Good luck!

So... I can share advice just as someone also TTC for#1: temps should be taken in the morning before you get up, or after at least 3 hours solid sleep before you get up. Try for the same time every day. Oh, and everyone is different for normal temps. I just started using the FF app to make sense of my readings. So far, so good.

That's all I know that I can confirm. Good luck!

Thank you so much ladies it's much appreciated!

Hey girl !!! Since you havent tracked ovulation before and have No idea when u ovulate .... And because U got 50 of them.. I suggest start using them as soon as af is finished so u can get familiar with your cycle. After u track it for a few cycles u will see your own ovulation pattern... And u can cut the early testing and save tests!! You want to test once a day.. And dont use fmu with the test strips as the hormone that it detects isnt broken down with first morning urine. Test between the hours of 2 and 10 pm as surges are normally found in the afternoon and evening hours. The hormone lh always fluctuates throughout everyday of our cycle.. So you will always see a second line. No matter what ! When your lines start getting darker.. And not so faint. Test twice a day between 2 and 10 pm so you dont miss your surge because sometimes the surges are short. They arent always long. And u dont want to miss it ! The tests are considered positive when the test lineis as dark as the control line or equal in color.. Once you reach a positive test, U will typically ovulate 12 to 36 hours later.. U will confirm it with bbt. Even though u may get days of positives.. Its the first one that truly matters ... Its the one u go by. If youre ever confused u can always post your tests and we will help u !!

To answer your question about bbt... You will take your temp every morning at the same time for accuracy. And u will temp before u do anything else.. Even sit up in bed because any movement you make will raise your temps and can cause inaccuracy. I set an alarm for mine, and have mine waiting in the nightstand so I just reach over and temp. U want to have at least 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep before u take your temp also. You will notice before ovulation your temps are really low.. Below 97.7 ... When youre ovulating you will get a dip in temp most of the time... Thats even lower.. Followed by a spike. The day of the dip is ovulation day.. The spike above 97.7 is 1dpo. Though some people are more hot and cold bodied than others .. But thats the average... Once u ovulate you'll be able to see a clear thermal shift in temps on your chart.. A biphasic pattern.. Which is a second range of higher temps than your pre ovulation temps. Download fertility friend to chart your temps that's what most of us use. U will notice that all your temps after ovulation.. Will be sustained in this higher level.. Until af comes.. Which then it'll drop back down to your pre ovulation temp range. Ovulation is confirmed when u have 3 days of higher temps... Then u can be sure an egg was released. Temping is awesome. If u ever need help.. Post your charts in the ttc and charting forum you'll get more responses .. That's where I'm usually at !! So glad I have another chart to analyze !!! Lol

Also.. Preseed is awesome. Do t use the recommend dose it's far too much. I would use half. Good luck !!

Thank you so very much AngiKay! All the info and advice is very helpful, I was sick yesterday sorry in the delayed response, can't wait to get my Amazon package in a few days! Also AF hasn't shown up yet fx ✨
