To me, unless you have predictable cycles, OPKs are going to drive you nuts. I have long cycles due to PCOS and I had to pee on those those once or twice a day for weeks on end each cycle. It's just too much for me. If you are desperate to get pregnant then go for it. Even with the OPKs you can miss ovulation unless you're testing twice a day.
I'd have sex every other day for a few months and see what happens. EWCM is a good sign you're Oing so go have some sex!

I am laughing at your "sex every other day for a few months" comment! This is why I want to know when I'm ovulating, damnit! Every other day? Shoot! Okay, kidding. I could maybe have sex every other day. Colin needs to not wake up every hour for that to happen though, ugh.
This is my thought! I like sex but every other day would feel like a chore. Brush teeth, wash face, jammies on, wait, is it a sex day? Ok, jammies off....I want efficient sex!!
I find them quite accurate. Do you also chart? I'd highly recommend it to help understand your cycles. I thought that it would be complicated, but it's so easy with fertility friend.
have you read taking charge of your fertility? After reading that book i felt like i understood my body so much better. I read TCOYF, tracked temps on Fertility friend and did OPKs to get pregnant. I found them accurate but my cycles are pretty average.
