I love this board, keeps me vaguely sane which is hard when ttc!

Thanks nevertogether it was on our wedding day (obviously) and its my favourite picture.

I think your supposed to start to use opk a few days before you would normally ovulate. Or if your not sure around CD10-12...i think!

 

[nevertogether]

last cycle was the first i temped and i O'ed CD16, which i believe is fairly regular. i guess i will start testing at CD12.

If you have a regular cycle i.e. Around 28 days, start OPK- around CD11

woohoo, thanks foxy

The first day of your period is cd1 so you need to then start taking your temp first thing when you wake up before you do anything, even talk. You can sign up to fertility friend and start recording your temps there, its free for a basic membership. They also have charting lessons so you can get upto speed.

oo thank youu, whats the temp supposed to be lol just out of curiosity x

Welcome

Temps vary for everyone. Fertility friend has a chart gallery which you can look at to get some ideas of different patterns.

You can start temping as soon as you get a BBT thermometre (.2 decimal points).

It'll get you into the routine of temping so you're ready to go when AF arrives.

Everyone is different, you can click on my ticker to see my chart for an idea. Basicly you temp should rise after ov and stay high for the rest of your cycle, when you get AF it will drop back down again and you start a new chart. If you are preggers then it will just stay high.

Good luck

sweetmama - you should change your status under your name to Expecting

Ladies, really TMI question but I havent checked my cervical position since just after ov, checked last night (6 dpo) and it was the highest its ever been, should it not be low by now?

Foxy, weird temps! Will catch up some more now.
