When to actually DTD after OPK

[Nessa84]

My cycle is a bit off now I am realizing but I still want to DTD in one attempt when I get a + OPK. Thing is.... I usually would test in the morning.... should I still test in the AM or should I test in the PM? Also, after I test, when should I DTD? How many hours should we wait etc?

OPKs should be taken in the afternoon because that's when LH surges. As for when to DTD, you're overthinking it. Just BD whenever you have the chance after getting a pos. OPK. I think most people get a pos. OPK in the afternoon then DTD that night just because it's convenient. There's no set number of hours or whatever you have to wait beforehand.

Test in the early to mid afternoon and BD as soon as you can that same day of the positive. Usually that night is plenty of time but don't wait until the next day.

Perfect!!! thank you!
I didn't know to test in the afternoon. That was the info I was looking for!

You need to follow the directions that come with your OPK to tell you what time of day to test. A few kinds are in morning, most are best after lunch.

Just have attempt that day sometime. There is no number of hours, no right or wrong. :)

A couple brands are set for morning use though, so please check the directions that came with your OPK.
