I didn't with dd and plan to give it at least a few months this next time. Looking at the ttc threads I feel like everyone around here uses them.

Yes! The month we conceived I had used wondfos and smiley face Digi confirmed! I'll use them again next time.

I've been using them, but my friends who got pregnant so easily years ago don't even know what OPKs are.
ETA: That's exciting that you are trying for #2 soon!

I did the same as PP's....Wondfos & smiley face digi's to confirm.

@googly-eyes: same as you. I didn't with DD and not planning to with the next one, at least not right away. But if I don't get pregnant by end of summer I will definitely try OPK!
Just curious, for this that did use OPK, did you get pregnant right away?

I haven't yet, waiting for af to arrive and then buy some though. We've been ttc since August.

@dolphin: I did. I used just the wondfo's the first month & both last month & got a 2 weeks ago.

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.

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.

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.

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)

Yes, I used wondfos. My cycles are long and I didn't ovulate until CD 30-35, so I temped and used OPKs.
bananas / 9973 posts
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.
pomegranate / 3565 posts
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!
pomegranate / 3565 posts
@dolphin: Yes, but I also got pregnant my 1st month with my 1st. I think DH and I are fertile!

@shopaholic: the lines seem to frustrate a lot of people...not even going to try those (most likely... Never say never I guess.)
@Mamasig: true, it'll definitely be something we have to plan on more than last time...
GOLD / pomelo / 5737 posts
@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!

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.

I didn't with Xander (my cycles were pretty regular), but I did with this one (postpartum cycles were wonky).
GOLD / squash / 13576 posts
I didn't with LO but I did with this pregnancy. My cycle was off after child birth.
pomelo / 5000 posts
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!
blogger / honeydew / 7081 posts
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.
wonderful olive / 19353 posts
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!
I probably will once we start TTC again since I haven't had a cycle yet.
persimmon / 1281 posts
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.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
I did b/c -
1. My cycles weren't regular so I don't know when O is
2. DH & I can't BD that much, so it helps to know when we need to concentrate our efforts
honeydew / 7295 posts
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.
cherry / 241 posts
Yes! I was just charting for a few months, but the month I used OPKs we got our BFP.
nectarine / 2358 posts
Yes I used Babi brand because I had no idea if or when I ovulated. Worked!
GOLD / pomegranate / 3938 posts
@googly-eyes: I'd love to be on in the same due-date month with you! I think we have a least a few significant things in common. Best of luck, lady!
