Question

How many HPT's and OPK's per cycle?


how many HPT's and OPK's do you use in a typical cycle?

and how early do you start testing?


this is our 3rd cycle of TTC the 1st cycle i did really good and did not test at all, 2nd cycle i think i did 4 HPT's starting at 10dpo, this cycle i bought 4 HPT's and used one that day 6dpo.. I am trying not to test will at minimum 13dpo my ticker says 11 days but it is off by 1 day for some reason idk why

the always shows on cd 28 so i am not sure why i bother testing.

I usually have 29 day cycle but can be between 28 - 32, I have been getting +opk on cd18 so test from cd13 just to be sure. Trying to lengthen LP with vit b6 at mo and +opk this cycle on cd17 so waiting to see if that worked, even 1 day would be ace!

Sounds like you have a good cycle!

I've been buying the clearblue digital opk's there are 7 sticks in which is either just enough, tho this month I used 6.

You certainly wouldn't need more than that with your cycle!

I was wondering this too but i have a totally different cycle from you so need a lot more! My cycle can be over 50/60 days so i bought in bulk this month. I got 30 ovulation sticks from a website (can't remember the name of it) and 5 pregnancy tests. It was less that £15 which is amazing, this included post and package!

I use 40 to 60 OPK a cycle, but I have long, irregular cycles. I use, depending on how many times FF changes my "ovulation" date, between 2 and 3 hpt's each cycle.
