OPK Question.

[RainbowDrop_x]

If I were to buy 25 OPK's roughly how long should I expect them to last?

Depends on several things:

How often do you plan on testing?
Do you have regular cycles?
What day do you plan to start ovulation testing?

Certain brands (like the cheap target ones) only last 30 days once you open the container.

I have no idea as I don't really know too much about how to use OPKs
Again I'm not sure as I'm only on my 2nd cycle off the pill, I'm just wondering as an average. The ones I'm looking at are just ICs and are individually wrapped so I'm not worried about the expiry one them.

What's the norm where OPKs are concerned?

If you were to go by 'normal', then may start testing on CD10/11 and test daily at 2.30pm until the line starts getting dark, once the line starts darkening test two or three times a day @ 11am, 2.30pm and maybe 7pm, the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control for it to be positive, you ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive opk good luck x

So just as an example.

I'm on CD8. Af is still here and it doesn't look like she's going to let up anytime soon so if by cd10 I'm still on what would I do in that situation?

In that case I would start testing a little later, how long was your last cycle?

 

[RainbowDrop_x]

My last cycle was 33 days. Af finished today so lasted 10 days

i suggest beginning testing around CD14/15 if you were to go by your last cycle length
