This will be my first month really using the OPK's. I was wondering when I should start using them. I am CD 6 today. Should I start testing now or wait couple more days?

Do you know around when you usually O? If not I would say start at CD10 and go until you get a positive. If you usually O around the same time I would start 4-5 days before and continue until you get a positive.

I would start using them at CD 10 and follow up until you get a positive I usually use them once a day until it looks almost positive and then use them twice a day when it looks almost there. Also try to do them around the same time every day between 2-7pm.

I have the clear blue digital ovulation test. I got a month supply last month just to try couple to see how I liked them. I liked them and want to keep using them. I know they are expensive but I like the idea you get to see the little smile. I have an idea about when I O but not sure. I always get O pain. This cycle I really want to try to catch the little eggie so I thought the OPK's will help us better.
