I am super excited! This is the 3rd month that I've been temping and my 2nd using OPKs to track my ovulation and I finally got my first smiley!!! I was getting so discouraged, thinking I was missing it every month. I may have had positive OPKs before, but was never fully sure, so this month I started using the clear blue digitals to make it easier. I was almost feeling like I wasnt going to get a positive again this month, but u got 2 today so far!
I'm so excited, I could almost cry! I know it seems small, but its huge to me BC I really want to try to ship my vials next month. I really needed this for my own confidence. Just wanted to share my excitement!!!

May 2017 IUI BFP!!!!

2/2016-BFN 4/2016-BFN 7/2016-BFN 10/2016-BFN 11/2016-BFN 12/2016-BFN 3/2017-BFP!!!
My surge is so short I can miss it if I don't test every time I go during my fertile window. CB ended up being to costly for that so now I use Wondfos for everyday testing and once I get a + on the strips, I confirm with CB. This past cycle the CB didn't confirm but it did an hour later when I went to the bathroom again.
I wish you the best of luck! Hopefully we'll swamp the forum with birth announcements in 2016!!

I have no idea where to start with OPKs. I like how you mentioned a less-costly option and doing two. Are these brands that everyone else uses too? I'm excited to get to know my cycle again after being on BC for so long. Four weeks off thus far and I have yet to see any signs of it, but I'm sure I'll get there!
