Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Donna, Hi, I do charting every month and I use OPK kits once in a while also. Once I had an ovulation kit show a + a day before my temp chart said I did. They were close but not the same day. I do believe you could use the opk kits without charting if you wanted to. I started out that way only I wasn't ovulating every month and now I take clomid. I hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 To: Donna From: Hi Donna! About the ovul. test kits....I would say for you, since you haven't had a regular time frame for your cycle recently, I would use the shortest cycle you've had. Say if the shortest was 23 days you should ovulate somewhere near the middle, like between 11th and 13th day. Well using the 23 day cycle you would want to start testing for ovul. 2 days before you expect to ovulate and continue till you get a positive. Since your cycle varies you may have to buy two kits, and someone in the group had made a comment about getting the ov. test kits at Target, that's a good idea, I have used those twice, they are less expensive but I have been using First Response and First Response the last few times cause I had a $5 off coupon which put these at the same price plus includes one free pregnancy test! But after this box, by the way I begin testing tomorrow(pray for me), I will be going to Target too! They are all very simple to use and to read and from what I understand they are very accurate, great because they actually let you know 24 hrs in advance that you're about to ovulate! Well, good luck! Let me know how things go! Everyone PLEASE pray for me, I'm gonna make it happen this time! Maangel1910@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 I wish all of you luck!!! I didn't get to try. I just had surgery Monday and now baby #3 is on hold till??? My kids are so wanting this. The ladies from church delivered dinner tonight and my 5 yr old daughter says be careful with my mommy... Shes pregnant but the babies not in there yet! My husband just laughed and I wanted to cry... I guess I need to vent.Fustration.I was planning on doing this natural and was waiting until I healed no tests no temps now looks like it will be raincoat season for awhile.I was prepared for almost anything but this... Didn't cross my mind to use an aid to get PG let alone to prevent this. So the surgeryu Pain and stuff was for the pleasure of getting to use a raincoat. What a twist.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2001 Report Share Posted October 6, 2001 That answer helps a lot Misty Thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't just wasting my money & time by using only the OPK.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Angi, So sorry to hear about your bad news. At least it's nothing permanent that you can't fix though. I'm sure it will all work out for you. I'll be praying for you! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
