| Any advice re: using CB OPK (£20 digital one?) Have bought it and gonna start using it from the day after my period stops (know it advises day 10, but I think I might be ovulating early so just wanna be sure - if I don't get a surge using the 7 sticks, then have some Boots ones left over so will use those in case it turns out I OV late).
Any advice about these? So when's the best time to POAS? I was thinking when I get home at 5.45 each day cos hate doing it at work - but have to avoid weeing for 4 hours, eeps! And when I do get a positive, I need to BD within 48 hours, right? Though think I'll do it in 24 hours, to be sure. Might also BD as much as poss, I'm not sure I beleive this 'leave it for 48 hours stuff' cos science suggests that the man re-produces sperm every hour or something so how can it be 'watered down'?! Plus, if you look at the boards where woman are actually PG, many say they did it as much as poss and that's how they fell PG. O golly, not sure we'll find the time, energy or libido to do it loads!!! x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | They say to test with OPKs midafternoon recommend between noon-2pm. Really nto sure how using them later could effect the results.
The night of a positive personally I would BD but before ovualtion is just as important  So if you know roughly when you ovulate you could make that every second day for best possible chances  |
