ovulation

Can someone tell me if they used a variety of ovualtion kits and did they get the same accuracy? Does it matter when you test? and if you get 2 lines do you BD that day or the following day? Thanks

Well, here's my experience with this.

I have used different tests, some seem to be more sensitive than others. I preferred the brand Answer more than the Duane Reade brand I recently purchased. I only ended up getting one day of positive ovulation from the Answer test. When you get a positive (which is two lines -- the test line being the exact same color or darker than the reference line) you will ovulate within 24-36 hours.

This is just my 2 cents. The other girls on this board are very familiar with this stuff, I'm kinda of a newbie myself.

I have used two: Clear Blue Easy Digital (the one that gives you the smiley face), and then bought the bigger, much more expensive one from CBE (I forgot the name). I should have stuck with the digital since it gave me readings on the same days as the more expensive one. I didn't trust myself to read the test sticks, so I went straight for the digital.

You should be testing in the later afternoon. That gives you the best accuracy for the LH hormone, which is what those test sticks are looking for.

Thanks so much...I just feel im doing something wrong. I went to the doctor and they said I shouldl be ovulating anyday. i keep getting negatives. I dont think these things work Hopefully soon!

Re: ovulation

If you are not ovulating your cycles would probably be pretty mesed up. Do you get AF regularly? How long have you been trying? What day do you start testing on? Do a search for Sper Meets the Egg plan on google you will get a precise way to use OPK's good luck
