New here and have a ???
Hello everyone!
I'm new to the LIF boards but I was an avid poster on the LIW boards. I decided I should officially say hello and make myself known to you guys. DH and I just got married on October 7th and are starting our new life together!
So my question, which is going to probably sound stupid to you guys (but I must know)....what does OPK mean? I couldn't find it on the lingo list. Im sure it has something to do with ovulation but its just driving me crazy not knowing what the acronym stands for. TIA guys! And happy baby making to you all!

OPK = Ovulation Predictor Kit
you can buy them in the stores and they tell you approx when you are ovulating.

Do you know I just had to walk over to the box to see what it really stood for!
but the poster above beat me too it! I knew what they were as we have been using them but I never knew the what the exact words were!
Good Question!

Re: New here and have a ???
how does it predict when youre ovulating? does it work the same way as the websites that predict ovulation? I've never heard of these before.

They detect a surge in the lutenizing hormone, which indicates that you'll ovulate w/i the next 12-36 hours.
