So basically I´m just waiting to get a positive OPK….I was just checking FF and for the past months I´ve been ovulating between day 14 or 16….Right now I´m on cd14…so far the line on the OPK has been really really faint….so I don´t know if this cycle will be as the other ones, or if this will be somewhat different due to the fact that I was on BCP last cycle, trying to get rid of my cyst, which I thankfully did!…..so I´ve also heard of some women doing opk´s twice a day, so they don´t miss the surge….so I thought I might start doing that!!! any advise on opk´s????? so, there´s not much I can do, but wait for a + test, and BD every other day!!!!    I´ve also been looking for info about PIO shots (Progesterone in Oil), I will be starting this after I ovulate, since my Ob thinks I have a short luteal phase (11 days) and might have a prog. deficiency….I was actually pretty scared of this shots, since my tolerance to pain is not very good…So I found some interesting videos on you tube, and after seeing a bunch of them I´m not as scared and actually I´ve found very good tips on how to try to make it as pain free as possible…what amazes me is that some of them are actually giving the shots themselves!!!!! I´m so scared of needles that I don´t know if I´ll be able to, and thankfully DH has agreed to do them….so here are some of the links in case you´re interested….

    have you tried the clear blue easy digital opk? it is a little more expensive (about $28/kit), but i have found it to be well worth it. i find that the tests with the lines are nearly impossible to read, but with the clear blue easy digital you either get a circle (not ovulating), or a smiley face (ovulating).

    Thank you so much for your warm wishes on my blog! I will be rooting for you guys! As far as the opk’s go, I definitely suggest taking them twice a day. I have a super-short lh surge, and if I hadn’t tested twice a day, I wouldn’t be pregnant right now! Mine was a blazing positive one minute, and 5 hours later was a negative. If I hadn’t tested early in the day I would’ve totally missed the egg! I know all the testing gets pricey, but it’s all worth it in the end.
