Thoughts on Ovulation kits? And TTC in general

Question

So my husband and I are wanting to start ttc on my next cycle! I guess a couple of questions 1) what are your thoughts on ovulation kits? My husband seems to think they aren’t necessary since my period is pretty regular and it wouldn’t really help that much since we can probably predict it pretty welll just based on timing of my period. 2) any general tips or advice for getting started? I’m pretty nervous! I’ve always wanted kids really bad and I’m terrified on infertility so I’m feeling a little anxious 😳!

Answer

This is our first cycle TTC #2. With #1 we used opks when trying to conceive him and we actually conceived him on the 3rd cycle of ttc (and the one month we didn't use opks 😂) 
This go around I plan to use them again. I have a pretty regular cycle too, but even ovulating a few days sooner or later than you thought can affect your chances.

Answer

I would still recommend using them to know for sure when you ovulate! You can have a regular cycle but still ovulate later with a shorter luteal phase. So if that was the case, you’d be missing ovulation by a couple days, which can make all of the difference in the world! They’re super cheap! Why not?

Answer

If you have regular cycles I would try to just time BD. No need to add stress. You usually O 2 weeks before period is due. Try to BD during the week leading up to and including O day. Add on a couple more in case you O late. Good luck!
