Testing more than once a day is the best advice I can give too. I use the Answer brand because it is the best value I have found in the stores and you get 20 sticks so you have enough to test twice a day for 2 cycles. I start testing as soon as I get more fertile cervical mucous.

Does anyone know if breastfeeding will affect the level of LH surge making an OPK look positive when it's not?
