Yes. Start testing on CD 9 for the highest chance of seeing your positive OPK. 2:30 in the afternoon is the perfect time to check. Make sure you do not have anything to drink and you do not use the restroom for 2-3 hours before your test.

I do want to say that if you BD every other day all cycle, you do not need OPK's. BD'ing every two days is enough. For the highest chance of pregnancy you should BD every two days until you get the positive OPK. When you get the positive OPK, BD every day for 3 days. It is also good to chart your BBT if you want to make sure you have O'd.

BD'ing more than once in a day is bad for conception, so try not to do that.
