question aboutwhen to stop testing on the OPK
When you get a smiley on the opk…do you test again the next day or do you stop on that day? Am I supposed to test the day after?

i think if you read the instructions it says that there is no need to test for the rest of that cycle after you get your smiley - it might just be wasting more tests, you know?
i'm pretty sure that's what I read, anyway.

If you've never tested before it may be helpful to test until you get a negative again. Getting a smiley for an extended period of time, more than a couple days could indicate an issue such as PCOS.

I don't think you have to, but I know for some people, they only get a smiley one day, for me, I got it for 3 days. I tested each day until I did not get a smiley anymore.... just to be sure.

I tested the day after my smiley and got a 2nd smiley. I stopped testing after that, the 2nd one just confused me
