Anyone have any tips. TTC and ive been taking the ovulation test for 2 months starting 9 days before…

Test earlier u might b testing late

@j.family1215 thank you. How much earlier do you think i should test. Im new to all this

@cjohnston my period was a 28 sometimes 30 days so i started testing 9days from the start of period so id b around cycle day9 and sometimes get a peak around 10 to 14days

So if ur period is 5 days long test 4 days after as an example

also it depends on the time you are using the opks. definitely use after 11am and with 3-4 hour hold of new pee.

I agree, you’re likely testing too early. The normal luteal phase (number of days between when you ovulate and when you start your period) for most women is 11-15 days. The day you ovulate can vary so if you know how many days your cycles are you can come up with a window of days to use the OPK tests. I buy the cheapie ones online so I start testing around CD12 and I normally ovulate around CD16-18. You’ll start to notice consistency in the process, but hopefully you’ll just get a BFP soon and not have to worry too much about it. ☺️

Okay guys thanks so much. I was doing it before. Yea my period last 5 days usually. Im going to buy some of the cheaper ones so i can have more chances to test and get it right .

2 things can help and will help 100%. Metaformin and Prenatals and lay on your back for 15 minutes legs up after sex.

@jesuslover82 ive been taking prenatals. I didnt know about the legs up thing😃 will dr have to prescribe metformin?

@cjohnston yes Metaformin is great stuff. Don't let him or her talk you out of it. But it also helps with weight loss.

My period is 5 days late at the moment. Im waiting until a week to take the test so I'm hoping I'll be blessed. I had a chemical pregnancy last month so that may have messed up my cycle. Weve been having intercourse 1-2 time's a day ttc so maybe we got lucky

@jesuslover82 thank you! Im trying to remember but i had a friend go to the dr after about 6 mos of trying wanting to take something i think it may have been that and the drs here in my small town told her that she needed to try for another 6-9 months on her own so if im not pregnant now im gonna go out of town to talk to dr

Good news i got a BFP this afternoon. Crying im so happy rn
