So this is my third month TTC #1...I have been using OPK strips, but the first two months I didn't really know how they worked.
Month #1- I was a total idiot and didn't even really read the directions the first month (thought a line was a positive regardless of its darkness)...
Month #2- Stopped testing before ovulation occurred because I thought it was just too late (ovulation was about 5 days later than usual)
Month #3- Tried to just stay calm, started testing 11 days into my cycle, continued testing everyday, had barely a line everyday until yesterday when it was just shy of being darker than the control (CD18) and then a real positive today!
Our BD schedule has been every other day since 11 days into the cycle, and we did it both yesterday and today and will do it again tomorrow and maybe Tuesday for good measure.
I'm just really excited because I know I did everything right this time, and it just feels different. I know I ovulate, so that is good, and we'll just have to go from there. Honestly, this feels like month #1. So if I don't get a bfp this time, I'll just stay calm and carry on.
Anyone else gearing up for the TWW?
