Anyone using them? I've never used them before but I'm thinking of trying them out.

Anyone prefer one brand over the other? When do you start using them (what day)?

Thanks

I use them and they worked great for me. I have used both CBE and Target brand. I test once a day until I see the line start to get darker...and then I test two times a day (fmu and late afternoon). Most of the time you will read to never use fmu but all 4 cycles I have used them (two BFPs....one sticky ond one not...) I got my first POS with fmu. I personally test intil they go neg again.

I usually start testing 4 days before I think I may get a pos... so 5 days before when I think I will O. The last two cycles tho I tested early because I really don't know what my body is up to.

GL! I really do like OPK's!

I've only used OPK's on cycle a year ago and I got pregnant that cycle. We kind of followed the sperm meets egg plan.

I've never posted a link before so I hope this works...

Thank you Katie. Can I ask what POS stands for? Is it 'positive'? This OPK world is all new to me

Thanks again.

I recomend the OPK's from early-pregnancy-tests.com...You can find them (same company) on ebay too and get I think 20 OPK's and 5 pregnancy tests for something like 7.99 and cheap shipping...They always ship quick and i've always had great luck getting positives on them...I bought some FRER OPK's my last cycle and they were awful compared to the IC tests (way more expensive too).

oh and I usually used the OPK's at around cycle day 8-10...I started out just testing once a day, closer to O time i'd move it up to 2 times and during O i'd usually test 3 times just to make sure...Good luck!!!

I really like Wondfo brand OPK's and purchase them from eBay

The only true positive you get is when the test line is DARKER than control line... so I would test in the AM & PM to catch the surge. Sometimes I would test midday as well, but not needed... they say most women surge in the am, but it won't show up until later in the day that's why I would test twice a day to be sure.

I bought IC of of ebay... 100 for 26 dollars.... They always worked.... And at that price I could test 3-4 times a day until I got to know my body... and than I would drop down to 2 a day.. to catch my surge.
