When do you take your opks?

I have been taking mine around 10ish and 4ish. I probably should go for 11 and 5 or 6ish but I have no patience. I have a hard time waiting and honestly I would take three or four a day if I thought it would make me less insane. LOL.

I know it's a no-no, but I usually take one early in the morning starting on CD 9 or so. I can usually feel when I am getting ready to O, so I don't start taking 2-3 a day until either that, or the line starts to get progressivly darker. When I think I am Oing, I usually do 6am, 3pm, and 9pm.

I missed my +OPK last cycle for the first time, and would have missed it again this cycle if I didn't take a 3rd OPK at 10pm.

I could go through 30 OPKs in one cycle if I really wanted to, I love POAS....any stick!

I'm not using OPK's yet, I'd have to order them in and I am not ready to do that.

I've been taking them 2-3 times per day. Usually 9-10ish and 2-3ish. If I take a 3rd, it's normally 8-9ish.

Oh this is going to be really bad...

I test 2-3 times a day with 2 different brands each time with the same urine! See Patty your not the only NUT!! I often come home for lunch to POAS! I do it with about the 3 urine break of the day at lunch and then stop drinking at 1 don't pee til I get home at 5:20 and POAS for the last time of the day!

I tried doing it once, and I always missed it. I think I came close to catching it once there in the beginning? I have to do it 2-3 times to catch it (and that's probably why I don't bother most months, I am too impatient lol)

I have thought about using more than one brand but I was afraid that would confuse me. Last month I used the cheapies and this month I am using Answer brand. I am glad to not be the only obsessed girl on the board!
