(Not advanced). I have cycles that range anywhere between 31 to 35 days, so I start testing once a day in the afternoon around CD 12. I could probably wait until CD 13 or 14 to save on test strips, but I like testing earlier just in case I O early. </p> <p>A box of 20 strips has lasted me approx. 3 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1600631 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 20:19:30 +0000 Radish 1600631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use wondfos and only test once a day starting at 11 or 12 dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1600599 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 19:57:19 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1600599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunset840: I use the digital ones with the smiley face because the others are so hard to decipher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598713 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:52:57 +0000 psw27 1598713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Wondfos from amazon and tested 1-2 times a day. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598656 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:36:40 +0000 snowjewelz 1598656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought 1 box of the Target brand ones. There were 10 and they were enough for me that cycle since I wasn't testing every single day (you can check out my FF chart in my profile). Best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598603 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:16:03 +0000 Littlebit 1598603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Wondfos and usually got them off Amazon or Ebay, they have packs of them! I usually got one that had 20 or 30. That would last me a month or two depending on how often I was testing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598578 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:04:35 +0000 mfa_lady 1598578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Wondfos and tested sporadically--sometimes once a day, sometimes twice, sometimes accidentally missed a day. (I wouldn't recommend my technique, but the Wondfos worked fine for me!) I think 2 - 3 times a day is best, but I was having wild cycles post-MC and would have used about ten thousand of them if I had tested multiple times a day religiously. :) Good luck on your journey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598575 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 08:03:07 +0000 charmed 1598575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Wondfos and tested 2-3 times a day for 10 days the first couple months. Now that I have a better idea of when I ovulate, I only use 1-2/day for about 5 days a month.<br /> I bought a pack of 100 in January and have about 10 left. (but I am a POAllTheSer :silly: so if you're not, you might not need that many!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598540 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:42:56 +0000 Adira 1598540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Wondfos and tested 3x/day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598532 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:36:12 +0000 lilyofthewest 1598532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread might help out: boards.hellobee.com/topic/preferred-opk</p> <p>If you are using cheap dip strips like Wondfos or Babis the cost per test goes down a lot as you buy in bigger bulk. Hopefully you'll get lucky in your first month of TTC, but buying a huge stash of OPKs means you don't run out or change brands mid cycle if o is late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-opk-to-start-and-how-many#post-1598505 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 07:07:11 +0000 sunset840 1598505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my SO and I are probably starting TTC next month and I have been thinking I really need to get some type of OPK but I have had a hard time even tracking my ridiculous cycles lately. Any ideas on which type to buy. I've read through<br /> some old posts but also trying to figure out how many I should buy is something I'm a bit confused on. Any help is greatly appreciated! </p>
