Question about OPKs
This is my first month using them, so I'm a bit lost.
I got a really dark line on Monday, so I'm assuming that was my surge for O. But they say that you can O anywhere from 12-36 hours, so when do you count DPO?
Like what DPO am I if I got my surge on monday?
TIA!

Re: Question about OPKs
I haven't used them. Let me know how you like using them. Do you just pee on a stick every morning or something? lol I have no idea. But a dark line sounds promising to me

Well if I get pregnant this month I'll like them, if not I wont haha... For this first month I used the $ store ones to see if they work, which they seem like they do lol. You have to pee in a cup, then use a dropper thing, and put 5 drops into it, and wait like 10 min for results. Its pretty easy, I've just been going through solo cups like there going out of style lol

Yeah, your supposed to do it everyday at the same time. Sometimes my times vary though.
I started around CD 10, because I wasn't exactly sure when I would O, and I finally got it on CD 20.

Re: Question about OPKs
I would count today as 1 DPO. I used an OPK when I got pg and I plan to use it again this month. In June I got the + on a Sat. so I counted Monday as 1 DPO since you O 12-36 hours later.
Good luck!!

Re: Question about OPKs
I would count Wed as 1 DPO.
You most likely ovulated on Tues, then you start counting the day after that (wed) as 1 DPO.
Good luck!
