Clearblue OPKs

[Charl881]

After two months of ‘casually trying’ only to lose patience very early on I’ve ordered some Clear Blue digital OPKs.

Does anyone have any advice on what cycle day to start using them and how often to test?

I used them when TTC my DS but can’t really remember, and the cycle we conceived him on I didn’t actually use them so can’t say they worked. But I just want to feel like I have some sort of control and a better idea of when I am ovulating.

Digital ones? I never did any of this during my last Pregnancies and to be honest I don't have a clue either so I'm just playing it safe and testing every day now. If I've worked it out right I should start getting a flashing smiley on Thursday. Why is trying to fall Pregnant so chuffing hard!

Hey, I’m month 2 TTC too. I use the digital CB sticks and there is a leaflet inside the box which has a chart which tells you what CD to start testing. I’m usually around a 27 day cycle so I start testing from day 7. Good luck! X

@HopingForOurRainbowBaby yeah I mean the ones with the smiley rather than just the strip ones. Testing every day sounds sensible as I think my cycles are all over the place but they’re not cheap! I kind of figure if I do it for a couple of cycles I’ll at least have an idea of when I ovulate?!

Thank you @Lavender90! I had a 27 day cycle when TTC my DS but didn’t ovulate until around day 16/17, it will be interesting to see if things have changed much.

@Charl881 I'm only using them this month then hopefully I'll be able to switch to the poundland ones once I have a rough idea on which days my peak is. I've just started taking conceive plus fertility and ovulation support so time will tell all being well on Thursday if they are starting to work. Thurs if I've worked it out properly should be the first day of a flashing smiley
