OPK's

[rosieposie]

Just after some advice from all you lovely ladies.

I am going to start TTC in 2 months time and was wondering whether to bother purchasing some of the OPK's.

I have a very regular cycle 28 days spot on every month even down to knowing what time AF will arrive and I have fallen pregnant first month twice previously (unfortunately my first angel was born sleeping at 34 weeks).

So my question is should my body 3 years later (have a beautiful 2 yr old) still be functioning the same. The last two times we just bd between days 12-16.

Also I have never really taken any notice of my CM and thought it would be good to keep an eye on it during the next two cycles. What am I looking for at the relevant times??

Sorry to ask so many questions lol

I use OPK (cheap ones off ebay or out of Wilkinsons) as I'm always worried that looking for the physical signs of ovulation in my body would be similar to when you're looking for signs of pregnancy (ie every little sign taken as a positive).
I have a reasonably regular cycle but have found that my ovulation can be out by a day or so each month so for us they're invaluable. But only because we are trying for pregnancy by donor, so can't choose to try a few days each month, we have to be precise. It may be worth you trying for a couple of months first before paying out.

I'll leave the CM question to someone else as I'm no expert there.
Good luck
