To use OPK's or not?

Question

Would you guys recommend using OPK's to make sure you BD at the right time? Or would you not track and just let the BD come naturally and not stress about it. Had a miscarriage last cycle. Really want a baby but I heard tracking and stressing makes it less likely to conceive vs relaxing and not thinking about it. What are your experiences?

Answer

I like OPKs, I'm on my 4th cycle TTC and used OPKs last two months. I think I'm ovulating a few days later than Glo predicts, so I also wonder if I'm just not hitting the timing right. If I'm not preggo this cycle I may use OPKs one more month to have a good idea on when I ovulate then stop using them. I don't think OPKs are stressful but the combination of it all can be, I personally think I feel more stressed after reading on the forums here lol. So cycle 5 or 6 I may delete this app too.

Answer

Yes!!! Hands down, glow isn't 100% correct. Opk's, if you buy good ones will give you a better idea of when to BD!!

Answer

We've been TTC for 6 months. This cycle I used an opk. turns out I ovulate early and I think we've had our timing wrong for the last 6 months.... so yeah, they really helped!

Answer

I like using OPKs. If I ovulate late I know ahead of time so don't get my hopes up if my period was late. It also lets me know when I can test since it would be 2 weeks after my peak.
