Default New to TTC, OPK question

Hello ladies,

I am Olivia, a mother of 18-month old Naomi and have been trying to conceive for 4 months. I stopped breastfeeding when she was 13 months so my cycle is still all over the map and I am not sure if I ovulate or not. Secretions are certainly nothing like they used to be, they go basically from dry to drier!!

My cycle is 28 days one month and 35 the next. I am considering getting an ovulation predictor kit. Do any of you have recommendation or comments about them. Brand, quality, reliability?

THank you in advance for your input!

Olivia

I use the Clear Blue tests as well as the FM. I find that brand works for me.

Good luck! It sounds like you are probably ovulating, just not as consistantly.

I like First Response, but the are $$$. You get 7 per kit. The kit will tell you when you should start testing. They are quite helpful.

Hello Olivia!! I use CLear Blue Digital. No mistakes about what line is darker than the other. It will give you a when it is time to ! They are pretty pricey, but you do get 7 tests.
