I was a relatively easy baby and so was my partner, but I also know that my parents had a lot of support that I might not have because of money...

I am relatively new to this community and TTC. I bought OPK on Amazon, the easy@home kit, and using the pre-mom app. I've only been testing for less than 2 full months so I might be prematurely worrying, but my numbers are really low compared to what is considered the standard towards LH surge...
