I got a bunch of positives, but no O due to my (likely having) PCOS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-802811 Thu, 23 May 2013 09:03:14 +0000 Ash 802811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're a normal O'er or you're still unsure about when O is, I'd start CD8 and stop when you get your first positive (once I got mine, I always quit but some people keep testing til they get a negative). I used the egg meets sperm method the month I got pg. :))<br /> Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-802731 Thu, 23 May 2013 08:33:03 +0000 cavalierkcs 802731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started OPKs a day or two after my period ended (around day 7) and didn't end up ovulating until day 18 but got my BFP the month I started using them. . Good luck and baby dust to everyone :))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799647 Wed, 22 May 2013 05:14:11 +0000 SweetMamaM 799647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a late o'er and so I tend to not start til Day 12 and then continue til I get a positive and then a negative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799606 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:16:45 +0000 Running Elley 799606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: P.S. I am more than happy to share this pregnancy with you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799604 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:14:11 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 799604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually start bt cd 10-12. And stop when I get a pos. good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799601 Wed, 22 May 2013 01:03:17 +0000 Mrs.Someone 799601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd suggest starting the first day you see EWCM and taking them until you see a positive followed by a negative. I'm pretty regular though, so that always works for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799559 Tue, 21 May 2013 23:10:28 +0000 Running Elley 799559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I used to start the day after AF ended but it was ridiculous to do because I never ovulated until at least day 20 lol. I was crazy..... Id say start on day 12! OMG I'm so excited. 2 more cycles??! That's so soon! Gah I'm so excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799532 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:42:24 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 799532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: hahaha yeah...TTC became so much easier once I figured that tid-but out!</p> <p>Ok so maybe I'll start on the 10th and hope I get a + by the 17th day. I'm not Ben going to test anymore than that. We DTD very often so if O day is later, we will catch it most likely. If just like to know when I can test so I can see my doctor very early on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799530 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:40:28 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 799530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: yeah, I should ovulate without problems. I am regular and ovulated before. My issue has never been in GETTING pregnant. It's been in staying pregnant. My OB wants me to go to her as soon as I get a BFP so that she can start me on progesterone (will most likely need it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799460 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:52:03 +0000 MrsKoala 799460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I start on CD 10 and go until I get a positive which is usually CD13 or 14 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799429 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:36:47 +0000 LindsayInNY 799429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lavender: Yup! CD1 = day #1 of AF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799247 Tue, 21 May 2013 20:18:16 +0000 lavender 799247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to threadjack but I have a silly question that I never figured out... Is Day 1 that day you get your period? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799205 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:54:02 +0000 Smurfette 799205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I went until I saw a positive. Luckily I always saw one. Do you have regular cycles? Did you always ovulate before when TTC? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799181 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:46:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 799181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: OMG I KNOW. Fear + excitement= crazy lady. &amp; in reference to living vicariously: I am doing this right now to @running elley! Everyday I text her like, "when the new baby comes...blablabla" Sometimes I forget its her pregnancy and not mine haha</p> <p>@Smurfette: did you just go until you saw a positive or your period? Or did you give up on a certain day? My cycle is 29 days so that's using way too many tests a month if I were just to keep going and going...ya know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799174 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:43:26 +0000 Smurfette 799174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started day 10 but I think that was too early. I didn't ovulate till 15 or 16. I think 12 would be good. Good luck!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799166 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:41:24 +0000 hilsy85 799166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice but eeek! So excited for you!! Totally going to live vicariously through you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-days-you-do-startstop-ovulation-test-strips#post-799164 Tue, 21 May 2013 19:40:51 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 799164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will start TTC in another 2 cycles (first week of August).</p> <p>I need to figure out when I ovulate but I forgot everything I used to know about TTC.<br /> Am I supposed to start the day my period ends (usually about cycle day 6) and go until I see a positive? I really don't want to waste test strips.<br /> Should I just start on cycle day 12? and go until...maybe cycle day 17?<br /> If I remember correctly, I never ovulated until day 15 before I had LO. But, that's probably changed.</p> <p>*I won't be temping, only LH strips and looking for EWCM </p>
