Finding the funny
I've always done the OPK's with 2 lines but have found them so frustrating the last several months that last Friday I decided to buy some digital ones. Loving them, so far. So much easier on my already second guessing and worrying about everything brain to just have a smiley face or circle. I bought the ClearBlue Advanced Digital, so I get either a circle, a blinking smiley or a solid smiley.
I was reading the directions and had to laugh. The description of the circle as a 'Low Fertility' day actually said, "While having sex today might be fun, it is unlikely to result in pregnancy as you are not ovulating yet."
This is my first cycle using Femara. We did 4 cycles of Clomid about a year and a half ago, which did nothing but make me CRAZY. Since I haven't ovulated since I miscarried, we decided to try Femara. It's supposed to have fewer side effects and such. So far, that does seem to be true. Although I'm starting to feel a little emotional/irritable yesterday and today. But that could also be because my abdomen feels jam-packed full of...I don't even know what....stuff? My uterus and ovaries are sore, it feels like there is a bag of marbles on my left ovary. If my bladder has anything in it, it feels very uncomfortable and soreish. I'm hoping this means I've got lots of follies doing their thing. I'm on CD13 and OPK's have shown 'High Fertility' days for the last 4 mornings. So hopefully ovulation is imminent.
My husband has started making up all of these statistics to support that whatever kind of sex he's in the mood for increases sperm output by 50%. He's a goofball, but at least he makes me laugh.

Glad you\'re more comfortable with the new OPK. Hope it helps bring your little miracle soon!
I love the Clearblue Advanced Digital. Does all the work for you.
I love that your husband makes up things to support whatever kind of sex he is in the mood for :) Laughing is so healing. I take every bit (that occurs between my husband and me on this journey) that I can. I\'m hoping Femara is the answer for you. I\'m sorry to hear you\'re sore. Hopefully a # of eggs are in the making :)
