Digital ovulation test help

[reallyreallyreallytired]

I must be really daft but I have no idea how to use these even after reading the instructions... I pee on stick pop it in it flashes then comes up with a error message after a while. I'm really confused. Can anyone offer a idiots guide? Thanks in advance.

Surely you should dip it in a pot? Try not wedding on it but dipping it?

Yes, sorry I meant dip it in pee as per instructions the rest I don't get

You have to make sure you hold it at the correct position or it'll show error. It's really temperamental. I can't remember offhand, but it'll say in the instructions, whether it's to be kept flat. I think it has to be kept flat while/after you put stick in.

You say you pee on it then insert it?

You need to stick the test stick in the holder before you pee on it.

That may be it....I've been peeing in pot. Putting stick in pee then stick in unit! Is that not right? Am I meant to put stick in init and then put it in the pot of pee?

I'm
Not a idiot honest I just can't decipher the instructions .

Well I always dipped the stick and then inserted it into digital stick but instructions say to put stick in first. It was more this bit I was meaning "keep the absorbent tip pointing down or lying flat" while you are waiting on a result and facing down while you put it in the pee. A few times I wasn't careful and didn't keep it flat and I got an error message too.

It's the insert the stick first bit that confuses me...it doesn't tell you what to do once you have done that? Dip the whole thing?

Yeah, dip (whole thing) downwards into pee then lay flat. Obviously just little end bit into pee but I'm sure you've got that bit.

Ok...will try that tomorrow! Thanks......

Simple guide (I've conceived 3x using these OPKs, so consider myself a bit of an expert!)

-Do your first wee of the day in a pot

-Take stick out of wrapper

-Take purple cap off of stick (do this first before putting it in the unit as it's difficult to remove without pulling the whole thing out once it's in)

-Insert stick into unit

-Check that there is a flashing test sign on the display

-Dip stick in pot of wee for however long (I think it's 10/15 seconds)

-Lay unit & stick on a flat surface, go and do something else for five minutes as it always takes bloody ages

-Come back to blank circle/flashing smiley/static smiley

*Once you have got a flashing smiley you can test more often than once a day in order to catch your surge.
