Bree I have to HIDE all my ttc from my meddling mother- she lives with us, so hard to make it to a windowsill, and my window is shady all day
Gigs She's right late morning-late afternoon best, no fmu with $ opks, as they will read darker even if not true ( i have been using these for a year).
No way to predict when your opk will go darker, just do one each late am or afternoon ( make sure you hold for like 3 hrs) and when the line is half as dark, do one early in the day, the other late afternoon/eve. I don't know how fast your surges go. Usually when mine are half as dark I get a equal dark in like 2-3 days. THEN you should O 24-48 (some say 72 even) hrs after that.
Claire Sorry you are entertaining the , but another thing you can try is a Betadine or Iodine douche. There are "recipes" on how to mix here:

Or you can get the premix at most pharmacies. They say to use for a couple weeks, but if I ever felt funny down under I only used it a couple days.
During AF tho- fill the bottle with warm water and flush out the AF in the shower, then do the douche. Works awesomely, and your ph and natural bacteria will be back to normal well before O time
AFM they gave me the "new " doc so it was easy for me to convince him to leave my b/p meds as is. I will have to change once preggers anyhow. My b/p has been fine anyhow until mom decided to bitch for the whole 30 mins before my appt about random things that have NOTHING to do with me!?!?!
Anyhoo, gonna do a hold late tonight with a cheapie (my last) Walmart had no more in stock yet. I did get 2 frers but I am NOT wasting another till I see something stronger on the cheapie
