Should I buy....


Some OPK's?

I have no idea of my cycle right now. I keep getting loads of EWCM and then it seems to disappear but I'm just not sure anymore. Anyway I've found some on Ebay and I'm soooo tempted. That said when we ttc'd last time I didn't get one positive OPK the month I got my bfp so I got a bit confused.

Should I? Or should I just leave it? We are DTD every other day anyway so do I need to bother?

I am in the same dilemma. I DTD every other day as well. I am also thinking I might get my BFP after ordering and have a bunch of OPKS sitting in the cupboard

What you want to be careful of hun is your hcg levels - They may not have gone back to 0 yet! I think its up to or around 6 weeks after birth & presence of hcg will give you a positive OPK. Sorry if I have missed a post if you hcg levels were monitored and returned to 0. Also one thing to consider is your body may not return to regular cycles for a short period after birth in fact more common to experience irregular. I seen breifly some posts on bleeds/spotting on and off?

Personal opinion hun - I don't think you need to or should for a couple of reason 1 being what you said in post above and second a lil bit of sanity. x

- I got your reply in PM btw hun - Everything is so up wall and on the go with just moving but I promise to sit & reply tomorrow x

Thanks guys

I think you're right Wobbles, I'm going to keep a bit of sanity right now. It'll happen when it's ready to happen.

My spotting and af pains have cleared up for nearly 48 hours now Still looking a bit on the bloated side though

I think you should try OV sticks, just for peace of mind. Did you use cheap ones before? If so, might be worth investing in more expensive ones (Clearblue Digis are good). x

I think go for the opks if you're trying to figure out what your cycle is doing but not if you're trying to catch the eggie like alot of us, I couldn't manage bding every other day so use them to figure out my timing! Not an issue for you!!

Good luck hon
