My 1st cycle using opks and need some help...

[michelle8733]

This is our second cycle of TTC and I am currently on CD3. My last cycle, all I did was chart. This cycle I've decided I want to use opks but I'm still pretty new to all of this and have a few questions. When do you start using them? As soon as AF stops is what I'm planning on. Also, I think I'm just going to go to Walgreens and buy some instead of purchasing online and waiting for them to get here in time. What brands would you recommend? And I'm assuming I'm supposed to use FMU? And then maybe again in the evenings? I plan on keeping them so I can track the progression of the lines through out my cycle. Any other helpful tips or advice you ladies might have would be great and thanks so much! I'm learning slowly but surely lol.

I was told NOT to use FMU. Wake up, pee, drink a glass of juice or water and then test with 2MU. My doctor said you want the conditions to be the same each day/time you test.
