AF arrives usually on the 1st of the month. i have already bought the clearblue easy ovulation kit. i am on precare conceive vitamins my dr. prescribed me. what else? when do i start using the opk kit? when should i expect to ovulate? i would love to hear any advice anyone would like to offer as i am new to all of this. thanks so much!

I don't know anything about ovulation kits- just charting. Take your temps with a basal thermometer first thing every morning at the same time- before you get out of bed to pee, or anything. It's important to do it at the same time every morning even on weekends.

If you got AF on th 1st, you could be O'ing now or soon. Some women O on the 8th day of their cycle (your first day is your first day of AF) and some as late as day 20....

Your temps should be lower before you O and then rise after you O. For example, my pre-O temps are in the 97s and then rise to the 98s after I O. Also, hopefully you will notice eggwhite cervical mucus a few days before you O too.


Before you start out, read TCOYF- it explains everything!
