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

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

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 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've used Walgreen's (USA drugstore) brand and Answer OPK's and both have shown positives for me.

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 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.
