Superdrug OPKs - buy one get one free

Hi!

Anybody used/using superdrug ovulation predictors?

They are buy one pack get one free at the mo so I've stocked up! Each lack contains 7 sticks.

Wondering if they are any good?! Only been using them since last Sunday and this is meant to be my fertile week but so far I just get a very very weak faint line every day...

I guess that's just because ov isn't coming QUITE yet but still.... I am a tad concerned!

I've used them for the first time in this cycle. I got a +ve around my usual ovulation day. There were 2 lines both as dark as the other. Of you get a faint line then perhaps you haven't ovulated yet?

What time do you do your test?

Sorry for typos. I meant if you get a faint line and not off!

Been doing them in the morning when I wake up... Is that the best time or should I be doing it another time?

I'm guessing I probably haven't ov yet and that its coming soon!

Dtd CD8, CD9, CD13 and CD14 (today!) so far this cycle.....

Annoyed we couldn't dtd CD10,11 or 12 but I was on nightshifts which made is pretty much impossible.

OPKs have been faint line every day so far since CD8 and can't imagine I ov BEFORE CD8!

I THINK the line got a bit darker today than it was yesterday.... Kinda....

Will keep going with it I guess!

not sure about superdrug but I have used boots ones in the past and they said afternoon was best time to use as lh hormone should be strongest then.

maybe try using them later?

Gilly, the super drug ones are not to be used first thing in the morning. I'm pretty sure that I read that in the information leaflet that was within the packet.

Good luck!

Lol really?! (Shit should've read the leaflet! Lol! Going to find it NOW!!!! Hahaha)

Even doing it in the morning I think I've definitely seen it get darker in the last day or so.

Afternoons from now on then!

Thanks x

Mirai - I use one stick per day. But I know of others who test twice a day am & pm so that they can catch their surge as early as possible.

Gilly - what are you like :)

I've got more than enough to test twice a day so I think I might do that from now on...

Dtd a lot so really hoping I catch the O!
