Hi everyone! I'm new to GD, ttc boy in July

[ttcboy2011]

Hi gals!
I'm so excited that I've found this site. It is so helpful to get all this information and feedback from everyone. Thanks Atomic!

I am 31, I have a daughter 14 months, and ttc boy in July. I am trying to do the diet, with lots of salt, lemon, no coffee , drinking green tea 1-3 x a day., drinking lots of water, eating potatoes, bananas, eating more red meat.

I am taking supplements: potassium, FA 800-1200 a day, zinc. I took False Unicorn for one day and could not take anymore. It gave me headaches and nausea. Had to stop it.
I plan to take Fertile CM from Af to O, will try the BSD and BSF, lemon water.

DH is taking some supplements too: zinc, L-arginine. He drinks coffee every morning.

I've been monitoring my CM and had a large amount of EWCM this morning around 5 AM,cycle day 18, took an OPK test around 10 AM and it's negative! I'm seeking advice from you gals, I know that I will be ovulating soon, when should I test again?
I don't monitor my temperature. I'm checking with CM and OPKs.

I'm doing the OPKs this month so I can have an idea of when I will be ovulating in July.

I would appreciate any help.
Thank you!

Welcome!! You have most likely already gotten your answer...but I thought I would tell you what happened with me and opks....
I tested only once per day at 10am and I think I missed the + opk all together. I'm pretty certain that had I tested at 2pm on the day before O I would have seen a very clear + but instead I saw a negative one day and then a nearly + the next am at 10. It faded out after that. I say test at 2pm and then later in the evening if you can. I'm also just checking cm and opks. Good Luck getting BLUE!!! You can have some of my blue dust...I have lots!!! xo

Hi doulamama,
I did an opk this morning and it was faded, but I could see the line. And this afternoon I started feeling lower abdominal discomfort so I just tested around 10 pm and it's positive. I can feel it.

So that means that I should be ovulating tomorrow? When it's +, it just means that I will be ovulating the next day or so?

Thank you. I'm sending lots of blue dust too!
