Try to do it every day at the same time...like aim for every day at 2:00 or whatever. Then a day before you think you're going to O , start taking two a day. Never use FMU. I always missed my surge, I thought there was something wrong with me! Then last month I did 3 OPKs in one day...and got my positive! I freaked out, honestly, it's like the second +OPK I've ever seen out of like 100! If I hadn't done the 3 tests that day I would have missed it...

Did one a day CD 8 - CD 10 at 3:00/4:00 pm. On CD 11 I did 2, one at 3:00pm and one at 8:00pm. Still neg. Then CD 12 I did one at 1:00 pm, one at 5:00 pm, then last one at 10:00 pm. The one at 1:00 pm was the +, then the ones after, same day, were neg! But it was a for sure +, I showed it to my sister! LOL.

I went for the ICs at early-pregnancy-test. I don't really like clearblue, the control line is SO faint, it's really hard to tell if you've got a + or not. The ICs are red lines, not so hard to see. They're about $1.00 each, so buy like 30 at a time. Same price as 8 clearblues ;) Wait 'til next month, lol, you might not need them!

I have been using them for 2 months now and the first month I never saw a +, this month I only got a + with first morning urine so from now on I'll be testing 2-3 times a day including FMU to make sure I don't miss the surge

I use the digital ones, they are a bit dearer but you are clear about when you ovulate.

Yes, I always want to kick myself when I get a negative on the digitals because they cost so much, lol.
