OPT Question

This may seem like a silly question, but how often and when exactly during my cycle am I supposed to use these sticks? I bought a pack of 7, so does that mean I wait til I'm close to when I calculate that I'm ovulating and then use them until I get the result I need?

TIA

Re: OPT Question

hi. if you start using them on cd10 you should be good! if you don't ovulate by time you've used up the box, you may have to go get more but usually ovulation happens between cd10-14. that said, the first month i used them, i didn't get the smiley until cd17. HTH!

Re: OPT Question

Thank you for the tips! Which one is the one with the smiley? I think mine just has lines. Are some more reliable or accurate than others?

Re: OPT Question

The smiley ones are the Clear Blue Easy Digital Ovulation Tests. They are more expensive but they are clearly either negative (empty circle) or positive (smiley face). Some people find it more difficult to read the line tests because the test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line to be positive, and that is a judgement you need to make on your own. It's not as cut and dry to determine the result.
