Hi,

wondered at which cycle day i should start using opks?
last cycle was 49 days, but im assuming it was this long because i had just come off bcp.

would you advise starting to use them on CD 8ish just to be sure that I catch the surge, as i have no idea how long my cycle will be?

Thanks!

I tend to use them from about cd8 because I don't really know what's happening with my cycle after coming off BCP. I've also started using the CBFM this cycle which has just added to the obsession - as soon as I got my first high reading, I started on the OPKs again!

If you're going to start this early in your cycle though, i'd recommend getting some internet cheapies so you don't go bankrupt!! Good luck

yer i agree get some off ebay u can get like 50 for 15 pound so you could do crazy this month start as early as ya wan...and then ur sure to catch it also wil help if u have to use them month as u will no when to start xxx good luck xxx

thanks girls, think i've got about 20 from a cheap internet shop, so will try to catch it this month and then will know more next month!

Sounds sensible to me - starting early until you have some idea what's going on at different points in your cycle!
Good luck!

I'm CD10 and just about to start using them ... I got 5 free with Pre-seed but i think I'm going to need more!!

Yeah I tend to start around cd8 - if you have a regular cycle and know your O date you can tend to cut down but to be safe it's just as easy to start testing early

cool, i started yesterday just incase! it was exciting, lol.

I started today, nothing showing as yet ........

anyone used the mid stream ones or just the ones you dip in your sample?
