Well, it's been awhile but I'm starting to catch up on my JM buddies. Sorry for the MIA, I just couldn't talk about baby stuff without crying. To everyone with a BFP, congrats!!!

Here's what's been going on with me:

1. Went to RE
2. Had Glucose test, it came back fine
3. Had HSG, everything is clear
4. Had lots of blood taken- everything is good
5. Started first cycle of Clomid- It's day 11 and I have two follies at 10 and one at 9. I'm now going have to learn how to pee on an OPK. It's never been a problem since I don't O, so I'm a little nervous that I'm going miss it. I'm also nervous that my follies aren't big enough
6. We have IUI as soon as I O

So, it's going really fast and I'm nervous but excited. Just wanted to fill you in and send Baby Dust to all!!!!

OPK's are pretty easy. I always took mine around my sons nap time (anywhere between 2-5pm). You can take them as many times a day as you want - just don't use FMU. I think I read somewhere you should only take OPK's from 10am to 11pm. Sometimes I would take one about 11, another about 4, and then another around 8 or 9 at night if I thought I was close to Oing.

Hi Kimmy! I'm glad you checked in! It seems like you've been busy getting a ton of testing done! I'm hoping that you won't have to endure too much more though!

Christina said everything that I would have about the OPKs. I usually did 2 a day as I neared O- about 11 am and about 7-8pm. I'm sure you'll find that the OPKs are pretty easy to use. If you're worried about reading the results, you could try the digital OPKs. They are definitely easier to interpret from what I've heard! No wondering if your test line is lighter, darker or the same color as the control line!

Good luck to you and I hope your next update is to let us know that you're pregnant!!!

Glad you stopped by with your update! I hope your IUI this cycle is your lucky one!

Thanks for the advice ladies! I did my first opk today and it was a positive....but a false positive. I went in for a sono and we are still stuck at 11 mm. So I think I'm going to try doing it later in the day (around 11 or so) and then around 8 or 9 at night.
