lol aww!
I think its best not to tell hubby when its positive, i mean so that when they are positive it wont seem like sex only at that time, so it can just flow etc.

Btw Shumie, how long did it take for your OPK tests to arrive after ordering off that site ? (i just ordered some)

And when do i start peeing on the stick from ?? lol

Hi

It depends on how long your cycle is. Mine is 28 days and I started testing at day 9 (was recommended day 10 but was impatient!)

Yes that sounds about right. Ovulation normally occurs 14 days before your period starts and so for a 26 day cycle it may occur at day 12. So day 8-9 sounds right.

Good luck !

Its not an exact science but ovulation occurs around 14 days before your period starts. SO for a 26 day cycle that would be day 12 and a 28 day cycle day 14.

Clearblue state that for a 26 day cycle you should start testing on day 9.

Or just make like rabbits for a week to be on the safe side.

Try clearblue . info for help

My tests arrived in two days!!! Really great service. The pack I got also stated that a 26 day cycle should test from day 9. I am on a 27 day cycle and it was recommended for me to test on day 10. However, I tested on day 9 and got an almost positive result and on day 10 got a positive for ovulation! I would test around day 9 but one day earlier wont hurt (lol!)

Hi Pearl! I just started using opk (bought a pack of 20) and have some coming in the mail. It recommend that I start the day after my period ended. I am doing so this cycle as I am not sure when I ovulate. Some women can ovulate right after or right before AF...so I am just trying to cover all the bases. Unfortunately, the DH found out I bought some (forgot after I told him I was) and got really disappointed and said that I was taking all the fun out of ttc. This made me feel really bad....so I feel really guilty using them now...oh well...I know deep down, he understands why I would like to know when I O. Please keep us posted on how the opks are working for you both: Pearl and Shumie.
