What's your opinion???

Question

My husband and are are TTC #1 and this is our first month. Everything is so confusing!! We got to BD 2 times this time but now he is sick and I took an opk and got a smiley face. So does that mean we were too early and I missed it? It's not looking like he will be up to BD any time in the next few days. I know it can be a long process and this is only our first month but it's already so nerve racking! Thanks for any feedback!

Answer

U need to have sex everyday of ur green days and if u can't save it for ur Highest ovulation days. The app should tell u what days those are.

Answer

You still have a decent shot. The smile means you will ovulate within 12-72 hours.  So the sperm from 2 days ago might live long enough to reach the egg if you have fertile CM and they're strong. Best time to baby dance is day of positive opk through 2 days after you get a negative opk in my opinion. I usually do this and then skip a day and try one more time.

Lots of women would disagree and tell you to stop taking opks after the first positive but I've been ttc 9 months now and had an almost positive 2 weeks ago I thought was ovulation and the last 3 days Very positive opks. So I tend to lean on the safe side.

Some general advice: The first 3 months will make you insane, so find Something, Anything,  else to do besides obsessing over ttc, the 2nd 3 months are depressing, so try to find something to keep you hopeful.  For me after that it's become just a part of life and I'm just kind of waiting for the next phase. Hopefully it won't take that long and you won't have to find out,  but normal healthy couples often take a year to conceive.

Other useful info to have: Bbt charting is awesome for confirming ovulation, though it doesn't predict it. If you're cycles are fairly regular it will help you to know approximately when you're likely to ovulate. You can get a bbt thermometer in most pharmacies for less than $10, though they're in different places at all of them so you may have to ask.

Opks get really expensive! Amazon.com sells Wandfo brand that are A Lot cheaper and really good! They aren't digital but they work really well and are easy to read.

If you find that you ovulate late in your cycle try Maca root or Royal Jelly. Both are really good natural vitamins for that.

If you lack fertile cervical mucus check out Preseed or for more natural Coconut Oil. I love the coconut oil and it's much cheaper but preseed is ok too. You really only need about half as much preseed as the box recommends.
