ClearBlue OPK
So this is my first month ttc so I am sorry if my question seems strange..
I started tracking on fertility friend and it is telling me that I am in the window of ovulation based on my last period. But I purchased the clearblue OPK and it is coming up with a neg. I know obviously the kit it much more accurate but does this mean I prob missed the window or should i keep using the kit for the next few days to see if it changes...

I never got a smiley with the opk... Even used it twice a day (box says so in the morning but I read here and a few other sites to do afternoon.
I used the opk for one month... Never got the surge though I had my usual ovulation pain and symptoms... I'll be 30 weeks pregnant on Wednesday.

humm ok, now I'm really confused. I am just really trying to "predict" things as much as I can (i know...you can't really do that)..but with my career I only have a certain window when I could give birth otherwise it turns into my busy season and I can't really take off a ton of time.
I guess I will keep testing with the opk and see what happens for this month...maybe its not worth it

I would say keep testing, it works for a lot of women. Or you could try temping as well and keeping track that way.
I always know when I ovulate because I get terrible pain every month. Maybe I just got a bad batch.
Good luck!!

Re: ClearBlue OPK
Definitely keep testing, though if you still get negatives for the rest of the month, I'd start testing earlier next month. I never used CB OPKs so I can't attest to how well they work, but people swear by them. I used wondfo OPKs and they were cheap and worked well for me. I don't think it would hurt to get them as back up. Good luck!

Re: ClearBlue OPK
Apps are just an approximation based on "typical" cycles. The OPK will give you your actual surge, based on YOUR hormones. Keep testing.

Re: ClearBlue OPK
Definitely keep testing. It really helps so much when you know exactly when you're Oing. I test twice a day (once in the morning and once in the afternoon). Sometimes I get my smiley in the morning and other times I don't get it until the afternoon. I use mymonthlycycles to estimate when I should be Ovulating, but then I test from about 4 days prior to that date, just in case it happens early.
