Can someone point me in the right direction?

Question

First month Ttc was a bust. This month I’m going to go for it more strategically. I have ovulation test strips, so am I looking for the line to get super dark then it’s go time or should I be just having sex every day as soon as I see any sort of line?? 
Also is there some guide somewhere about what I’m looking for with CM and what each type means? I’ve read about people feeling their cervix for height and tightness too—- what’s that about? Help me get this baby!!

Answer

when you use opks, you use it after when your period ends.  I use my clear blue digital 2x a day until I get a positive opk.  I use it when I wake up in the morning and the evening about 6pmish.  when you get that positive opk, you have sex asap.

Answer

Hello. With OPKs work out when to start testing by using the guide in the instructions. You probably want to start trying once your OPK test line is nearly as dark as the control and for few days or so after the positive result. I wouldn’t do it when you get any line as you’re likely to get some sort of line most days (I’ve only twice got no line). 
Tracking CM is fairly easy and is the most reliable way to tell when you’re fertile as your body is basically telling you when to have sex. Research shows that couples who have regular sex during the period when the woman has EWCM are more likely to conceive faster. The EECM is ideal for helping sperm move into place. You will know when you have EWCM as it will be clear and stringy plus it sometimes has a white tinge to it. Clear watery CM is the second most fertile but I would mostly just look out for EWCM. Don’t bother with the other 2 types for now as they both just indicate that you’re not fertile at that time. 
Some people seem to find temping useful but personally I don’t and it’s harder to do as you need to do it very early in the day and at the same time and even then there are likely to be other factors that make it vary. If it works for you then that’s good though. 
Best of luck! :)
