OPKs doing my head in

[Kay Kay]

I'm not sure what's been going on with my opks the last couple of months but i'm not getting a dark line, just a few days of faint lines then nothing. I've been using them for ages now so I'm used to getting at least 1 dark line so not sure what's changed.

On a positive note I've been taking evening primrose oil (high dose) for the past 3 mths in an effort to regulate my cycle and it seems to be working! I usually can be anywhere between 27-43 days with the average being 34 but the last few months have been 31 then 27 days and if the faint-ish line I got the other days is anything to go by then I should be on track for a 29 day cycle this month which I'm pleased with.

I went for reflexology again this week (tues) in prep for ov, I did this a few months ago and stopped the past 2 mths cos of money (it's £30 a time and I had a couple of weddings and our holiday etc etc so just couldn't justify it). But I was glad to go back to it, it's extremely relaxing if nothing else and that can't be a bad thing right?

Me and hubby have been at it 5 times in the last 6 days.....really hoping it's our month, feel like I couldn't be doing much more to maximise our chances. If it's meant to happen it will but I feel so ready for my baby

Hiya KayKay,
Re opks im afraid I cannot give any advice as I still get varying results using mine - get so fed up with them.
I also have reflexology and love it - hey, if you look forward to it and it relaxes you well I say do it. But yes, it is a bit of a stinger in the wallet.
Good luck to you.

We all know that companies are trying to save money at the mo....is there a possibility the makers of the opk's have changed their "recipe" slightly? (Although they'd never tell anyone if they had tight gits) If you haven't caught this month maybe try another brand xxxxxxxxx

 

[Kay Kay]

Yeah Babybrain you could be right. I'm gonna try a new brand once I'm finished with the packet I have and see if I notice a difference. I'm presuming I've already ov last week and taken a note of it in my diary. We are still getting down to business though, can't do any harm lol! 2ww all over again...

Am hoping and praying you don't need the opk's next month. Keep bd'ing (when we started ttc my oh had to book himself a day off....I used to call him Prune ). Good luck hunny xxxxxxxx
