So we are going to TTC baby number 2 next cycle. With my first we just winged it, and took us 12 months.
This time I would like to give ourselves the best chances so I've bought some cheap OPKs in a pack of 50 on Amazon.
Can anyone give me any advice or best tips dos and don't of using OPKs for the first time please?

When do you start using them in your cycle?
What time of day?
Is it clear when ovulation is imminent?
If so how long do I have to dtd?!
Thanks!

Start using them once period ends. Test once a day until it start to get a little darker then test twice a day. Test between 10am and 8pm. I used fmu and got peak and fell pregnant. So up to you on time. When your tests reads high on app start to have sex. Every other day till peak. Then bd peak, ovulation and day after. I conceived having sex third day of fertile window and peak day. Used soft cup kept it in for 12 hours and used preseed. Used easy@home ovulation tests and premom app. Good luck 😊 x
