Does everyone get a + OPK???

When trying to conceive my second son I could not get a positive opk for the life of me tried different brands times of day etc nothing. Went to my ob who ran some tests and called back saying I had ovulated that month. Low and behold bfp the same month.

I think if you have a standard 28 day cycle, you start testing day 9 until you see a +OPK. You can start once a day (usually late morning) and then as it gets closer to your O day (if it is somewhat consistent), maybe day 13 to O I would test 3x/day. Usually 11 am, 3pm and 6 pm are known for being good testing timeframes (don't ask me why, read it somewhere online :) But it really depends on your cycle.

I have a 26 day cycle and started day 9. I am doing 5pm 9pm at the mo. Going for it tonight anyway luckily the sheets are dry this morning!!!!

I am skeptical on getting a + we will see xxxxx

I honestly can't answer that, we don't know how the B6 sways or how long the effects last.

Jokes aside though, there has been more than one person who had this actually happen to them and were really upset about it!!

Swaying can make stuff cray-cray so I think if you are not used to doing OPK, it can be a good idea to start taking them super early, even CD 8 or like the last day of AF! You are going to get negatives at first, but that's ok. I think it can be good to see a few negatives, at the least you will know what not ovulating looks like. Then I would have you take them 1x a day (and the time of day depends on what the directions on your OPK say - some require testing at a particular time of day so I cannot give a blanket recommendation there) . If your tests start getting darker, you can increase to 2x a day. Some people like to test wtih a smiley test after getting what appears to be a pos on the cheapies, just for confirmation

If you are on Clomid tho you need to wait till after your Clomid is out of your system.

Well I got a darker negative so we went for it. Still too light to be classed as a positive but its done now, will keep testing to see if it does go dark but I BBT anyway so hopefully that will match.

Not going to lime douche again next cycle (I assume this one will result in a bfn and af) Its v messy and annoying. Will stick to rephresh x

Ooh got a positive+opk!! My first ever one! Should have dtd tonight instead but of well hopefully still in with a chance xxxxx

good luck!!
