I used them at least twice a day. One with smu and then one in the early afternoon. Sometimes I would do one early evening as well to try and find out what was going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2738027 Sat, 20 May 2017 12:49:53 +0000 Bernieboo 2738027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you all use them? I've been trying to research, but some places say test twice a day, some say test once in the afternoon. Any help is appreciated! Last time, I just temped and tracked my symptoms, but my cycle is all weird now and I want to use the OPKs to know for sure that I'm ovulating. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2737007 Wed, 17 May 2017 10:47:56 +0000 Journeytooursweetbabyb 2737007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondfos all the way! :) I have used the digital but they are so expensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2717238 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 08:18:49 +0000 ElbieKay 2717238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always just used Wondfos. My RE said they're all equally unreliable! So I did not bother getting a pricier one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2716540 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 20:17:43 +0000 YogiBeachWife 2716540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been happy with cheapy ClinicalGuard strips from Amazon. You can get 50 for $11.50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2715851 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 13:06:36 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2715851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2715849 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 13:03:54 +0000 Anya 2715849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: ok I will put it in the classifieds.

To be fair I don't know that it had anything to do with it but it did give a much more clear positive a little later than the "is this positive??" cheapies. Like the last cheapies from the day the first response was positive was still positive but it looked no more so than the day or so before. Like I said I don't think it really made much difference anyway but I do think they work better, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2715836 Fri, 24 Mar 2017 12:34:35 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2715836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anya: Hi honey.. if you haven't already mailed it, please don't. I think I'm going to stick with the cheaper tests and have you give that to someone else. Thank you!!

They made me absolutely bonkers and stressed and took the joy out of TTC. I have diminished ovarian reserve also but the month I skipped OPKs after 13 cycles I finally got pregnant !😃 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2713951 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 16:19:08 +0000 bloved 2713951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondfos until It gets close, and then a digital to confirm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2713939 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 15:52:51 +0000 theotherstark 2713939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always just used the Walgreens or Cvs version of the wondfo OPK strips.

That way a one month supply of the expensive ones would last a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2713849 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 14:21:49 +0000 PeaceLily 2713849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the clearblue digital ovulation tests. Not the advanced ones with the blinking smiley that turns into a solid smiley the closer you get to your LH surge, just the regular ones with only the solid smiley.</p> <p>I use wondfos as well sometimes, but feel like I need to test multiple times a day to catch my surge and it stresses me out. I think the digital ones are less stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2713848 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 14:20:20 +0000 LindsayInNY 2713848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only used Wondfos or some other cheapy brand like that from Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2713795 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 13:43:50 +0000 Banana330 2713795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dollar store! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-tests-1#post-2713778 Tue, 21 Mar 2017 13:31:14 +0000 Anya 2713778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey there- I still have your CBFM!

Digital? Smiley faces? </p>
