Hi mummies!
Anyone here conceived using ovulation kit to track ovulation?

If so, may I know when u guys did the deed? Before, during or after the kit shows positive? Consecutive days or alternate days etc?

I’m using the strip ones and only did it that night it shows positive. Still not pregnant
 


I belief I fell pregnant with the ovulation tracking (but with a lot of other things as well).

For me my ovulation is quite consistent, so i roughly know my fertile window. I’m using the clear blue digital ovulation tracker, we would do the deed when I got the blinking smiley face (that’s like maybe 2 or 3 days before ovulation), on the ovulation day, as well as one day passed ovulation (just to ensure no chance wasted )

sperm generally can stay in women’s body for a good 5days, so it’s no harm to “deposit” the sperm few days before ovulation.

hope it helps :)

Thank you! Maybe I Shld try doing it before ovulation shows positive. I’ve been trying for months now :(
 
I used clear blue and I found it effective! Managed to conceive with them. Expensive, but well worth the price as you don’t need to angst over the lines etc.

my tcm taught me to start trying every alternate day from day 8 of the cycle so u wont miss it. So the sperm will be waiting to meet the egg when its being released.

well but i cant comment if that really works as am not trying now yet. But it does makes a lot of sense to me, so do give it a try!

Hi, most people ovulate 1-2 days after a positive OPK. If you have sex on the day of the positive OPK, you've most likely maxed out your chances for that cycle.

That being said, it's also possible to ovulate before a positive OPK and up to a few days after, you can see the data below.

Before LH peak 9%
Day of LH peak 8%
1 day after 33%
2 days after 28%
3 days after 11%
4 days after 7%
More than 4 days after 3%

How long have you been trying for? The odds of conception for a healthy couple is only 30% per cycle even with well timed sex. It's normal to take up to a year to conceive.

Hehe thank you dear! But I’m 32 and I can feel my sex drive dying! So I don’t think I can do alt days, I was hoping to just do it a few times and hopefully bullseye! Hahaha!

Hi dear, yeah I’ve been trying to close to a year this April. I had a miscarriage in nov and have been trying since then but menses still came :(. So I’m not sure if me or my partner should go for fertility test soon.
thank you for the detailed data, prolly I’m gonna try to do it 1 day before, 1 day during and 1 day after. Not to mention it’s a chore to have sex nowadays..

Are your cycles regular? Usually people ovulate 10-16 days before menses. Eg, if your cycle is 28 days long, you may ovulate between day 12 to 18. You just need one try between O-3 to O-1, these 3 dates are the dates with highest success rates.

You can count backwards and have sex starting at least once every 3 days (no need every day) starting 3 days before earliest ovulation. For the example I gave above, from day 9 to day 19, every 3 days.

But yeah if you've been trying for a year with no success it's advisable to see a fertility specialist to get some tests done.

Awww thank you so much!!! I shall try once every 3 days, seems more manageable haha!
 
Hiyee dear!! Omg wow so qiao!! But I don’t have any kids yet. Have u been trying since?? :)

i dont have any either. That was my first child. After my loss, shortly after i developed a cyst. So had to wait for it to clear before we could start trying. We only got the go ahead last month. I am taking it easy now. Go with the flow and not exactly making a point to try.
