I got my first af on 6/3 after my m/c that ended in a d&c on 4/5-8 weeks later. Now it is 15 days after first day of af and no bfp on the opk. I was excited I finally got af so I can get started ttc, but I am also upset because I'm nervous I won't o this month. Am I being unreasonable.

I have been getting negatives on mine as well but keep testing your cycle may be a little off due to the m/c.

I m/c on 4/21, i've had 2 af since and I don't think I have O yet either. I'm hoping this month I will. I think off due to m/c too, so let's keep each other posted.

I m/c on March 7 and have had regular periods since 28 days after m/c. I've been taking opks every month and haven't really gotten a true +. THey say it can take a couple months and you don't always O every month. Good Luck

Day 17 after af and still no bfp on the opk. Anyone else?

Hi Ladies, I am in the same boat as you guys, but I just found out that I have an ovarin cyst of 2 cm. I had my m/c on feb 25 and we have waited 3 normal cycles ttc..I do have a question.. what is opk? is that the ovulation kit? we ttc after the 14 day after my af and in the hospital they told I was not pg... good luck to everybody and baby dust to all of you...

opk is the ovulation predictor kit.


Jenn - June 21st, 2005 10:47 PM

my m.c was 2 months ago today :( feeling kind of down, i am at day 15 after af and no sign yet of ovulating

I had my first AF June 5 exactly 27 days after my d&c. So right on schedule for me. I've been testing with opk's since June 13 and got negatives for a week. I thought I wasn't going to ovulate this month but just the last 2 days I've been getting darker lines, I'm hoping for a +opk today, This is cd19 for me and I've had +opk on cd12-13 in the past so this is very late for me! Don't give up hope.

I stopped using the opk and now I'm just bding every other night. Using the opks like crazy makes me a bit depressed. I'm due for my af next weekend so either I'll be pg (which I doubt because I don't even know if I O) or I'll have an easier time pinpointing my o because it will be my 2nd af since my mc in April. How is everyone else doing?


Jess - June 25th, 2005 12:32 PM

Well I am just finishing my 4th period since my m/c. Since my m/c my periods have been pretty light although they are acompanied by some pretty bad cramps that I didn't have while I was on the pill. Hopeing this cycle to get a BFP. Will start testing with opk again on day 8 since I believe I O early, like between cd10-13. Will let you know how it goes. Hope to get a true + on OPK.


Jenn - June 25th, 2005 8:24 PM

af should come on july 5 (or somewhere around then) still don't know if o, i haven't tried an opk, we'll see bd does the trick :)


Kara - June 25th, 2005 8:36 PM

I have never had any luck with opk. Both times I got pregnant I never did get a strong positive. I say throw them out and have sex every day for 10 days. How ever many days your cycle is, have sex seven before the mid-point and three after. Worked first time both times. Just don't ask me how to STAY pregnant because I am not so good at that.


Kristin - June 26th, 2005 7:03 AM

I am just using BBT, not an opk. Third miscarriage (in a row, but for different reason) started on 4/1. Didn't chart great in March, but have been charting every day since 4/1 and have seen perfect phases with 32 days in total length and 12 days in luteal phase (after temp rise). This is the first month I can ttc again and it's day 24 and no temp rise at all yet. So disappointed and worried what it means! UGH!!!


Ann - June 26th, 2005 8:48 AM

Hi Carrie - I am sorry about your m/c. I had one in March and with it a D&C. I am using the clear blue easy fert. monitor. It asks me to test from day 9 on - for ten to twenty days depending on ovulation. SO anyway, I took it on day nine after my d&c and it came up positive! Not that we could try that month, but I usually ovulate really late. I thought I would share, because if I had tested later than day nine, I wouldn't have known that I ovulated. Anyway, I think your method is good, just keep trying every other day and see what happens. Good Luck!


Carrie - June 26th, 2005 10:27 AM

Thanks Ann, I've actually thought about trying the fertility monitor instead. I'll have to look into it because I know nothing about it. Well my af is due this 4th of July weekend so I'll keep you posted.


Carrie - June 28th, 2005 4:21 PM

I took a hpt today because I've been feeling queezy and I got a bfp!!! Do you think it is too early to test bfp if af isn't due until this weekend? The bfp was definately there on the ept.
