Question about OPK
Hi Girls, me and DH are TTC. I just came off the BC pill last month so I do not know exactly how long my cycles are. When should I test using the OPK? I am on CD 11. Is it too early to test? TIA

Re: Question about OPK
I would already start testing. If you buy the Clear Blue Digital OPK, it gives you a chart to determine when you should start testing (depending on how long your cycle is)
baby dust to you

Re: Question about OPK
OK, thanks. One more ??, I tested yesterday and today and I did not Ovulate yet. Am I supposed to test every day or every other day. I bought the kit with 7 tests in it. Thanks for the help

Re: Question about OPK
Every day and sometimes two times a day...during the expected time of ovulation.
If you have regular cycles, subtract 16 days from the length....and during that time, use the opks often. Remember most people surge in the afternoon, so it's best to use the opks then.
LH creeps up quickly ...that's why you have to use them often.

Re: Question about OPK
Steph-make sure you are testing in the afternoon not the morning. Most people have their surge between 12-8PM

And don't panic if you don't get a surge. I don't think I ovulated my first 2 months off the pill. Baby dust!!
