OPK and when to test them

[Donna's here]

Hi ladies.
I've just bought some OPK's and really haven't a clue when I should start using them. I have a cycle of between 32 to 37 days, some times much more, but it has seemed to regulate lately to 32 to 37, so should I start testing around 16 to 18 days? Also just started to do my temps again and hoping someone will be able to see when I OV coz I never had
Thanks girls

Thanks babe

Donna if I were you I would start testing from about cd15, test every day in the afternoon and evening if you can. Hopefully that way you won't miss the surge.

I agree with Lorna hun, good luck

Thanks ladies.

Kate, if I come up with any tips I'll elt you know

Lorna and snuggle, thanks ladies. Shall start trying from day 15 then and hope, bought enough of them!

if youve got mega cheapies i'd start straight after af personally.
Say you have a 32 days cycle and you start cd15, thats a 17 day luteul phase - what if it's longer? mines 18 so I would have missed it. I ovulate cd10, some do as early as cd8 and 9 on a normal 28 day cycle - I just think if you're going to go for it start early.

You can get a massive bunch of them for cheap on ebay hun, thats what I did and tested twice a day from CD11

oooo, holly, ok. I have cramps this morning but I think it's all in my head (read toooooooo much on these boards) and as I have 50 of them then I spose it wouldn't hurt especially as it's my 1st month trying opk. Thanks hun

I've gone back pages and pages reading all threads about opk, most recommend testing around 2ish and again at 8ish. Do you think twice a day is right, or would once do it?

 

[Donna's here]

Thanks snuggle, answered for me while i was posting. Twice a day it is then.
Did get them from ebay, really cheap they were too. Heres hoping

Hi Hun The clearblue Opk kits are fantastic i know there pricey there £20
there digital with 7 sticks and really easy and accurate to use
When your testing positive for ovualtion it shows a smily face like this and when your not it shows this icon O ... They also come with instructions on the day to test if you have long or short cycles
Good luck hun
