ttc-ing: I like to test using the OPKs. If tested positive then i'll BD on the very night. Then next morning i'll test again to see if its still positive and if yes, i'll still BD.
Once u tested positive using the OPK, O will likely take place within the next 12-24 hours. As the troops can still in our body for up to 5 days. It will be good to BD before and if can on the day you O however, we will never know exactly when we O. So we can only maximism the chances of striking by BD BD AND BD!! lol.. =D
I found a very good website. You can post ur photo of the OPK and get pple who r also there to vote whether is it a postive OPK or HPT.
Here's the website:

I had posted a OPK under the post #18670. It is definately a positive as i used the Cleaerblue Smiley to double confirm le. I always like to use the Clearblue to double confirm when i see those bold lines.
As for the CM, i heard drinking grapefruit juice help to have more CM. U cna buy those mix with orange juice from NTUC if u find tat grapefruit is not nice. I also drank it for this cycle since last week. I also did this for the cycle tat i concevie lele.
When i was in taiwan during 11 - 17 Mar. We tried on 13th. However, i had some bleeding very very little kind.. Like ending de liao.. But before tat my bleeding already stop for a week.
I actually have this jelly like discaharge before 13th, a few days before 13. So i wonder if tat was the pre CM discharge before AF. And When i had some bleeding on 14th, i was wondering if that was the AF or left over blood however, i google tat even before the 1st AF aft birth arrive, O can take place.
I continue to test even i'm in taiwan and back in sing.
I read that O can oso be observe. I had the Lower Abdominal Discomfort this morning, which might be the egg coming out le.. I dunno how true is it but i jus wanna believe that it is.
About one-fifth of women actually feel ovulatory activity, which can range from mild aching to twinges of sharp pain. This ovulation symptom, called Mittelschmerz, may last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours and is usually noticed in the side of the ovary that is releasing the egg.(i copy form internet)
Actually, i also have OPKs that only had 1 bold line. Which in the previous pregnancy nv happen de. previous Always got a faint line kind but this time round i had completlely no line kind, only 1 bold line.
Seriously, i was feeling very low but still i continue to test twice everyday at 11am-12pm and 8-10pm. Still i had the same suspect tat my OPK r spoiled perhaps. But the fact is we haven O.
In fact, i'm quite lucky that i nv miss this cycle. That night when i test i see and only a faint line. I was about to give up but keep telling myself maybe the LH level still not so high yet, wait another few more minutes den go see. So ard 5 mins later i go back and see, it was 2 bold lines. I always keep te OPK for awhile more sometimes a few hrs to see if it changes. Usually, it wun la.. lol.. The result will stay the same.. But of cuz the result will not be accurate aft a certain time as stated in the OPK.
So i drank lots of water and go pee again, this time, i used clearblue and ALL other OPKs brands that i had to tell. One of the test r not so good, the positive came up rellly slow like 10 mins. When wondfo brand de came up in a less den 2 mins. I was pretty sure it was a positive O but i need to see the Smiley Face. So i waited infront of the Clearblue kit and wait for the Smiley Face to appear lo.. And indeed it did..
I thk there r serveral reasons y ur OPK always came up negative. Maybe the way u do got wrong? Or u haven O, or nv O for tat cycle? Keep telling urself its just tat u haven O, keep testing..
I guess i reall wanted 1 so badly that i keep thinking. Brain in a very powerful thing.. =)
