RajahMD I've been wondering about using OPKs, but I have no idea how I would test at work. I would think only testing once per day (after I get home from work) wouldn't be enough to catch a positive. I might try it next cycle and see how it goes though.

I can't really test at work - I will sometimes test in the morning, then again after work, and the cycles where I have used OPKs I usually still catch a positive (well, not with Wondfos, but with my other cheapies). It's probably worth a try even at one time a day. I also tend to have a line that gets gradually darker over a couple days, which helps.

I've ordered from a website, www.early-pregnancy-tests.com - they're called BFP brand. Shipping has always been very quick. I also got my bbt thermometer from them and like it a lot.
Do you have a certain kind that you use littlelion?
I just read the OPK thread in the stickies and it was very informative! I'm going to try the dollar store brand to test and also buy digital to confirm. Many ladies said a positive doesn't necessarily mean O and neither does a negative mean you didn't. Very confusing. But I'll give it a shot. I know I should temp but ds has been giving me such rough nights by morning temping is nowhere near top of mind.

Thanks daisy818 and littlelion. I have no idea if OPKs will work for me or not, but it is worth a try I think. Thanks for reminding me about the OPK thread in the stickies littlelion.

I was on the FF site earlier just refreshing on the phases and patterns for temping because I couldn't remember everything. DH totally busted me and gave me all the side-eyes and judgement. I just laughed and told him he was in denial.
Hi! Can I rejoin the thread? I was here a few months ago when I had my lap. I'm back on the bench until atleast March.
I have a job offer but won't able to start for atleast 5 weeks (background checks suck) and we have decided to wait to see the RE once my new insurance kicks. Being TTA will also ensure that when I get KU i'll be eligible for FMLA, because on the off chance I get KU naturally after 19 cycles I would like to have a decent maternity leave.

Hi @wallflwr926. Of course you can join us again. Congrats on your new job! What will you be doing?
I feel you on waiting until FMLA will be available. I had shit maternity leave the first time around (6 weeks unpaid ugh) so one of the reasons we are TTA for now is to ensure I can have longer this time! Maternity leave in this country makes me ragey.

Yes of course you can come back! It's frustrating to wait but congrats on the new job and insurance.

Wondfo OPKs worked for me when I tried with LO.. We got pregnant month 3. I just had my ectopic 2.5 weeks ago and am super crampy.. I wonder if I'm going to O. I have clear, elasticy CM so I'm thinking maybe that's why I'm so crampy? But I'm also nervous it's a problem from my surgery. I may call dr tomorrow if OPK isn't +.

@wallflwr926 congrats on the new job!! I'm sorry it means you have to TTA for a little bit, but I hope you'll enjoy the work nonetheless.
::warning: rant ahead:: Parental leave issues really grind my gears. I ended up staying in a dead end job for an extra year+ more than I had intended to when I got pregnant with DS, solely because of FMLA. I felt trapped. It's completely fucked up that people have to put their dreams of a family on hold just so they can get 12 fucking unpaid weeks, like that's some kind of grand reward, when it's actually the barest of bare minimums. A lot of people end up not even taking the full 12 because they can't afford it. It's a disgrace. /rant
Thanks for the welcome back. The one good thing that has come out of the move back to NJ is that they have much better state mandates for IF treatments as well as maternity leave. We hope to be off the bench by March. It's crazy to think that now the earliest I could have an outside baby will be more than 2 years after we started TTC.
