[simpleaffiliate source="chitika" results="0"][/simpleaffiliate] Question about OPK?
Hi all,
Last week, I made the mistake of testing for ovulation at different times of the day. For example, on Tuesday, I tested in the morning (like a dummy), on Wednesday in the evening (and got a light line/positive), and on Thursday evening I got a dark line, positive.
So this begs the question: Is it possible that I ovulated SOONER than Wednesday? My line on Thursday was definitely darker than the dummy line, and darker than Wednesday's line, but I'm still wondering since I didn't test at the same time each day. Help!
Also, I had cramps most of Thursday evening, which I attributed to ovulation, and BD'd that night. I also BD'd on Tuesday night.
So, do you think I correctly isolated my ovulation for Thursday night/Friday? Or do you think I missed the boat? On the other hand, I did have sex on Tuesday.
LOVE to hear what you think about my chances and what I've outlined above. THANKS!
Actually it doesn't sound like you got a positive reading. OPK are different than pregnancy test. The line on the OPK has to be DARKER or at least as dark as the test line. Figure out how long your cycles are and then you will know when to begin testing. You will test for an average of about 5 days. Make sure to test about the same time every day. Most test tell you the best time to test is between 5-8pm. Ty to limit your liquid intake 2 hours before your test. When you get an actual positive reading...DO NOT test anymore! This will only confuse you and make you second guess when you are ovulating. When you get the positive it actually means you will O in 13-36 hours. The day of the positive begin having sex every other day for 5 days and then two days in a row. So have sex on days 1,3,5,67. Good Luck!!

Zig Ziglar: “You need a plan to build a house. To build a life, it is even more important to have a plan or goal.”
When I came to real estate sales from the safety net of the public school system where life is routine and income guaranteed, I was in for a rude awakening. I knew I was going to be good in sales but I had no idea I’d have to learn how to plan and manage time. Oh, and then there was goal setting and attitude adjustment.
So when I speak with you about having a plan and working the plan, it comes from my real life experiences. The realization came that I had to learn to plan and manage my time or starve; It was sink or swim time. So I learned and became the top real estate producer for a major company in San Diego County.
Not to blow my own horn, I’m just saying you have to know where you’re going to be successful.
Zig Ziglar says it well: “If you don’t have daily objectives, you qualify as a dreamer.”
What is the plan?
Planning is what determines success or failure. You either plan and manage your time or fail. You must have a master business plan, a yearly plan, a monthly plan, a weekly plan and a daily plan.
The three keys to planning your work and working your plan are: Time management Attitude Adjustment Goal setting and achievement.
The truth is that those who don’t plan run in circles - Those who do plan reach their goals. Success and prosperity come to those who prepare and work for it.
Brian Tracy: “You must master your time rather than becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time.”
Start by finding a quiet place where you will be undisturbed for fifteen to sixty minutes. Sit down and write what it is you’re trying to accomplish. Writing down, “I want to make money.” isn’t definite enough. How much money? By when? What are you going to do to make that money? That’s planning.
Who bothers with that stuff?
Just about everyone who leads a purposeful successful life: The Housewife The Mother The Sales person The Online entrepuerner The Executive
When do you plan?
During the time you scheduled for planning time. Do it daily. Either morning or evening. Or morning and evening this is the best.
Donald Trump: “I’m a busy guy but I set aside quiet time every morning and every evening to keep my equilibrium centered on my own path.”
If it’s good enough for Donald Trump, it should be good enough for you.
Your plan should include activities to do: 1. Daily 2. Weekly 3. Monthly 4. Yearly
You can use a day timer, a week at a glance, or your computer is loaded with calendar and planning programs, the blackberry and numerous hand-held devices also include planning tools.
In the beginning do it the old-fashioned way. Sit down somewhere that is nice and quiet with a note pad and pencil. This is the best way to think and plan.
Once you’ve thought your plan through in rough form than use whatever tools you like to put it on paper.
Your plan must be written. Thoughts are simply wishes. A written plan becomes an achievable goal.
There are a zillion formats for business planning. Find one you like;one that is brief and to the point. Write your overall business plan and then narrow it down to the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly activities. Once you take the time to think it through and put it on paper, the rest is easy.
Summary
Once you have the plan, you must work the plan. In metaphysics it’s called treat and move the feet. Learn to include in your plan a time for daily Journaling and Meditation
