| Any OV stick / OPK users out there? I just don't have ANY luck with them!  I need some help.
I did a CB digi OV stick at 4.30 today and it came up with error message. Think it's cos I didn't keep the stick facing downwards while I p'd on it. Grrrrrrrrr! Thing is, once you get it wrong, you need to wait 4 hours without p-ing to do it again. Or do I really need to be that strict, is a 2-hour wait without p-ing long enough?
I have a Boots OV stick left over from a coupla months back which says that I only need to wait 2 hours without p-ing but not as good as CB one (CB one has a smiley face). Only CD8 though so might just use Boots one at 6.30.
I know I'm testing early but worried I'm OVing really early or late (getting pains today which worries me that I may be OVing and haven't BD'd for a few days!). x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | yeah, just what molly said really, they are not really worth u spending al that money on them. The ones from the fertility plan shop on ebay are adequate and as long as u dont mind interpreting lines, then they r fine. I have started using them again this month. Good luck, Candice | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I used the clear blue non-digital ones. They don't give me a smiley face but they make me smile when I get two lines the same or a darker surge line!!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I also use the clear blue non-dig. And the whole thing with holding your pee... I've got the worlds smallest bladder (okay maybe not literally) and I can't hold it that long even if I wanted to. This past week, I just held it as long as I could and I still got my results. So in my very short experiance, 1st month using them, I think as long as you're not chugging tons of water to dilute things you should be okay.

I'm Currently Feeling: | I got a positive OPK on the ebay cheapies
Thought it might be dodgy so bought some Confirm tests. and they did just that...CONFIRMED IT.
So I would trust the ebay ones, used one again this afternoon and another BFP opk. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I always use the cheap ones from e-bay. I ovulated a week early last month, if it wasn't for the OV tests I wouldn't of known. I bought 50 OV tests from Fertility Plan on ebay and they cost me £8.98 including delivery (which was next day) They will mixed Ovulation tests with Pregnancy tests. Although I haven't had a positive on the pregnancy tests  I have with the ovulation tests. |
