I find that if you watch it and the test line fills in before the control line, you are pretty close to getting a positive. I'd also suggest testing twice a day (every 12 hours). If I didn't test twice a day, I'd totally miss my surge (and positive) since I've got a quick one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733848 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:38:43 +0000 looch 733848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the regular Clear Blue ones, not digital. I was charting though, and used them to confirm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733835 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:36:22 +0000 Alivoo01 733835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did what @spaniellove: suggested. Wondfos since they're cheaper and I can test twice a day without guilt, then use a digital to confirm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733799 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:24:24 +0000 Crisark 733799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be honest I used them for 6 months religiously and the month I didn't get a positive and I was certain I didn't even ovulate I ended up pregnant. So, I don't hold as much hope in them as I use to.<br /> I do hope they work for anyone who uses them but that wasn't the case for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733744 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 09:11:04 +0000 spaniellove 733744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This might be overkill but I found it helpful to use Wondfos to see the progression (I figured out how to tell if I was getting close to O) and since sometimes a positive Wondfo is hard to interpret, I'd break out the CB digital OPK only when I thought I had a positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733683 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 08:53:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 733683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Wondfos from Amazon and test when I get home from work which usually isn't until 8-8:30pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733287 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:23:13 +0000 Punky 733287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the ones from Amazon, the Wondfos, and haven't had a problem. I test when I get home from work, around 4 and I read somewhere that you should test in the afternoon around 2-4. I have had positive results at like 10 pm, I have never had a positive result in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733277 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:05:41 +0000 cavalierkcs 733277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies. I just got the cheap ones from Amazon so I'll test those out and see. </p> <p>@pui - that is awesome that it pinpointed O! Sending babydust your way too!!</p> <p>@smurfette - Hadn't heard about waiting a few hours so not to dilute. Will totally give that a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733227 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:59:54 +0000 Smurfette 733227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used them. Spend the extra money on digitalis. So worth it. The control lines are hard to tell sometimes. I always tested when leaving work at 430. I wouldn't drink or pee after 1, so the urine wouldn't be diluted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733219 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:43:32 +0000 pui 733219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started doing OPKs this cycle and I guess I had a success since they definitely helped me pin point O! :)</p> <p>OPKs are pretty simple. It is recommended NOT to use your morning pee like a pregnancy test. I used mine when I came home from work at 5:30 and that worked fine for me!</p> <p>I just used cheap ones I bought online (from makeababy.ca) They can be a little hard to decipher... I had a few that I thought might be positive but ended up not being. when I got my positive OPK it was very obviously positive!</p> <p>Good luck and baby dust! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733218 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:43:23 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 733218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the digital kits best!</p> <p>My REs office told me to test at 6:45am but I always tested negative then. I only tested positive in the afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-predictor-kit#post-733216 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:41:30 +0000 cavalierkcs 733216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has any one out there has had any success with or have any advice for using ovulation predictor tests? I read somewhere that taking the test in early evening is most accurate. </p> <p>We're still new at TTC but I figure anything could help (and these OPKs seem simple enough). :-) </p>
