Worked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552926 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 08:37:50 +0000 annie624 1552926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I was just charting for a few months, but the month I used OPKs we got our BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552867 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 08:23:29 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1552867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did! I am a super control freak and I cant really temp because my son doesn't sleep so well so I can't guarantee ill get it right. I love them. I temped with my son. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552859 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 08:20:52 +0000 snowjewelz 1552859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did b/c - </p> <p>1. My cycles weren't regular so I don't know when O is<br /> 2. DH &amp; I can't BD that much, so it helps to know when we need to concentrate our efforts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552783 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 07:57:20 +0000 Glitter 1552783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. I'm a bit of a control freak and wanted to time and do everything perfectly from the get-go because based on other life plans we wanted to get pregnant within three months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552778 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 07:53:33 +0000 Alivoo01 1552778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did originally for more than 6 months, but got tired of stressing over getting a positive OPK but a BFN on the HPT so I quit. The month I stopped testing, I got my BFP! </p> <p>I probably will once we start TTC again since I haven't had a cycle yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552754 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 07:41:48 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1552754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used them for maybe 10 months out of the 24 we were trying. Because of my PCOS, my cycles were screwy and I blew through SO many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552688 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 07:10:15 +0000 Happygal 1552688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used them (Wondfos) for most cycles we've been trying. Once I moved on to medicated cycles with trigger shots, I had no need for them anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552678 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 07:03:23 +0000 littlek 1552678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't with LO but I did with this pregnancy. My cycle was off after child birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552660 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 06:52:12 +0000 Adira 1552660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't with Xander (my cycles were pretty regular), but I did with this one (postpartum cycles were wonky). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552608 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 06:10:26 +0000 Lolo 1552608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't during the first 4 months of TTC, after speaking to a friend who got pregnant on her first cycle of TTC by using opks I used them during our fifth month and got pregnant. My previous guesses about o had been pretty accurate but I guess it helped us to time BD a little better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552530 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 02:08:48 +0000 googly-eyes 1552530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Dh just asked me if I thought we would be here...it feels surreal that we are even talking about another! Maybe we will end up on the same birth board! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552529 Tue, 08 Apr 2014 02:07:03 +0000 googly-eyes 1552529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: the lines seem to frustrate a lot of people...not even going to try those (most likely... Never say never I guess.)</p> <p>@Mamasig: true, it'll definitely be something we have to plan on more than last time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552427 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 22:46:52 +0000 rattles 1552427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I chart with Creighton but never used opks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552420 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 22:40:30 +0000 Mamasig 1552420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: Yes, but I also got pregnant my 1st month with my 1st. I think DH and I are fertile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552418 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 22:39:30 +0000 Mamasig 1552418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not with my 1st but I did with my 2nd. I wanted to make sure we were timing it right. There isn't as much BDing when you already have one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552393 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 22:14:03 +0000 shopaholic 1552393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did. Obsessed. I couldn't stand the kind with just lines, so I'd double up with digitals until I just only bought digitals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552373 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 21:57:30 +0000 lilteacherbee 1552373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I used wondfos. My cycles are long and I didn't ovulate until CD 30-35, so I temped and used OPKs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552360 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 21:53:12 +0000 dolphin 1552360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AngelicOne: that's awesome! Congrats!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552300 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 21:03:27 +0000 charmed 1552300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, wondfos! I've ovulated on a different day almost every month so without the opk's our timing would be way off. (not that it's helped but at least we're on the right track) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552160 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:01:17 +0000 travellingbee 1552160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and got pregnant right away. We tried a month without, on our honeymoon, and apparently missed my fertile time since I got AF early, then the next month I used them and we got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552157 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:00:35 +0000 winniebee 1552157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With T I didn't the first 2 months but then did the subsequent months. TTC again and first month did not, this month did. I just went off pill a few months ago and like to confirm what I think my body is doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552151 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 19:58:03 +0000 MapleMoose 1552151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, but that was because I previously got my period every 2 weeks so the doctor told me to use them to see if I even ovulate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552138 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 19:50:52 +0000 MrsF 1552138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552136 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 19:50:04 +0000 AngelicOne 1552136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: I did. I used just the wondfo's the first month &amp; both last month &amp; got a :bfp: 2 weeks ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-use-opks#post-1552107 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 19:37:29 +0000 MrsStar 1552107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't yet, waiting for af to arrive and then buy some though. We've been ttc since August. </p>
