Opk

[Jellybean86]

Can I get some feedback on OPK? Are they any good? Are they accurate? Or are they a load of rubbish?

I use the one step ones from amazon and I find them really useful - they don’t tell you exactly when your ovulating but they give you a ballpark idea and I just find it takes the guesswork out of it, as soon as I start getting strong lines I know I’ll get my positive in a few days so it’s time to get busy! My positive opk lines up with having very fertile fluid and little niggly pains so I know they are accurate for me, I don’t think they are accurate for everyone though or ladies with pcos

OPKs are great! It will depend from woman to woman but I usually O 48hrs after a +. I recommend trying it out!

Definitely a useful thing to have a hundred of

You can get a load for cheap on ebay / amazon etc.

If you aren't sure when you might ovulate, these will tell you.

Thanks everyone! I think judging by my cm that my ovia app has calculated my fertile window correctly.

I have dtd during my window this month so fx this cycle (number 4) is the one! I was gonna get some sort of opk for next cycle if AF shows up in a couple of weeks

I do think they are useful, my only problem is my job: I work on 12 hours shift and is very hard to me to find the time to test during my shift without bring suspect at work....so usually I miss my positive because that day I been busy at work or a lot of staff were in the staff room near our bathroom and I didn't take my "kit" out!
