So I went to WalMart yesterday

And for the first time bought some OPK's. I got the CBE brand and it came with a free digi PG test. There are 7 OPK's in the pack. It was EXPENSIVE!!! Like $20 bux. Kinda not happy with that but if it helps me catch that eggie, it was all worth it (and then some!)

When should I start using them? I have a 27 day cycle and I'm on day 8 now. Pregnology says I should O on Monday (the 19th) but since I have the OPK's I want to rely on them too. BUT I only have7 of the darn things.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

The OPK package should have some guideline on when to start testing. Otherwise look on this webpage:WhenMyBaby - Ovulation Test Calculator
Good Luck on catching that eggie!!

Id start the 15th or the 16th
100 x Ovulation Test kit / Pregnancy Tests strip combo - eBay (item 280317356684 end time Apr-22-10 23:06:33 PDT)

Thats 20 dollars (including shipping) for 100 opk/preg tests. You choose the count. I got 60 opk and 40 hpt.

Its cheaper than the walmart brand opks

OK, another question. Can DH and I still DTD without using an OPK first? Will his "guys" make the test inaccurate the next day? Feelin' kinda frisky today and may want some tonight but won't start using OPK's till Saturday.

Michelle you don't have to bid on them. You can buy them out right. I got 90 OPK's and 10 HPT's from that site, $19.99 with free shipping.

I would start using my OPK's on CD 10. I used them for the first time last month on CD6 but it was my first time using them and I wanted to get a good base of negative OPK's so I knew what an positive looked like.

Best of luck
