Hi All...
I am 38 this yr and have 2 children, after our last was born(11 yrs ago) my hubby had a vastectomy which we both now deaply regret. It all happened so quickly and now looking back we feel we was 'pushed' into it by Drs etc with no councelling etc...Anyway we would love to have another child,we are in a good postition in our lives. We can not afford for hubby to have it reversed and have been told that because it has been so many yrs that a reversal is unlikely to be succesfull. So after many many months of discusions we have decided to use a sperm donor. A good friend of ours offered his help, we used him twice but he wasnt reliable(he lives an hour from us) and we felt it just didnt feel 'right' with him. We are in our 1st month of using a new donor, he is a lovely caring person and we both agree it just feels 'right' with him.
I am using Clearblue opk,the 1 with smiley face and i am a member of mymonthlys, going by the website (which have been recording my periods for about a yr) i should have ovulated on 26th Feb but got my smiley face on 25th Feb i then got my period on 14th March so going by these dates i should have roughly Ov on 1st April, i have been testing since 29th March and still havnt had a lovely smiley face...Do you think i have missed Ov this month or should i carry on testing?????

Sorry this post is so long but thank you for reading....
To you All.
love Seashell xx

Keep testing! The great thing about OPK's is that they are relatively inexpensive, and I love the 30-day packs. Its possible to miss an ovulation, but from what i've been reading (i'm no expert, and have been TTC for 10 months now, so take what i say lightly) your best bet is to use the charts and to get a couple good tries in a couple or three days before expected ovulation & on ovulation day....

Try to make sure you are testing at about the same time every day...its possible to miss it if the surge happens between testing times (i think thats so odd, but its the way it is)

that's what i've heard atleast...

lots of baby dust to you!
