Once (fingers crossed) you do conceive, I would check with your dr. about continuing to play, though. I was told to avoid certain activities due to balance issues. For some reason tennis comes to mind, I have no idea why.

OPKs are for one-time use only. Each box generally contains 5-7 test sticks. They work similar to a HPT - you just pee on the stick and wait to see your result line so you can compare it with the control line. The box will come with detailed instructions for you. I've been buying Clearblue Easy, because they come 7 to a box (vs. 5), so it's a little cheaper. If you're at this a long time, you could try buying a fertility monitor - that's a $100-$150 monitor that you use ongoing. You do have to buy test stips for it; about $30-50 for something like 60 strips?
For charting, I've been learning a lot, but I'm not near the expert some of the women on these boards are. Try reading the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" (you've probably seen the acronym "TCOYF" - that's this book). Also, try reading the fertility section of ivillage... I've learned a lot from the various articles on this site.
Good luck, and I hope your "stay" on this board is short and sweet!
