Well, since this was my very first time inseminating and i'm fairly new to this site... i wasn't very knowledgeable about all these different techniques! I suppose i should have researched it more since it was so expensive and so important!
I wasn't very good at charting or predicting OV, unfortunately! In July (the first month i started using OPK's) it was so easy to tell when i OV! I felt the twinges and then it was followed by CM and a positive OPK at CD20. In August though, i didn't feel anything and no CM... plus the OPK's got darker and darker but never as dark as the test line... and then went to negative!
So in September i wasn's sure when to have it shipped! But, we did inseminate at Cd17 and cd19... just using a syringe and legs in the air to keep the soup in the bowl! My OPK never got positive again... but it was getting darker and darker!
I keep telling myself that if it's meant to happen it will happen... and trying to be hopeful & optimistic....... but i know i will be heartbroken if AF arrives. I used all of my savings for this one attempt!
I agree with you though... now that i am on this site quite a bit... i am learning soooo much from all you wonderful women on here!
