using opk at work/opk help
Hi all!
Im about to come off BCP at the end of this month (in 3 days!) and im going to be using both paper cheapie opks and the clear blue ones but im struggling to work out how to go about this.
I was thinking of using the paper one at work then the clear blue when I get home.
I really have no idea how i will sneakily use it at work though!
If I was to pee on the paper strip and slide it back into its packet and check it when i get home would that work?
Do you think this is the best approach for both opks? i really would like to use the digital ones twice a day but they are so exp in australia...

perhaps the saliva based tests would be better since you have to test in the morning? as anyone had experience with these?

You can start using OPK after your bleeding stops.
I have been using OPKs at work. I have some that I can pee on and put the cap on, then I have it in my pocket and check after 5 min. You should read it within 5 min, most accurate.
Good luck!

I have to do my cheapies at work - I have a tiny jar I use which fits neatly into the palm of my hand so not arousing suspicion. If you are well and truly stuck and don't have the convenience of your regular routine, I guess you could use the cheapie sachet and use that (make sure you take the silica gel out first!). Sounds disgusting, I know, but disposes quickly and easily in the back of the bin!
As said earlier, test within the time mentioned on the packaging, which is normally 5 minutes. Urine test is a little better than saliva, IMO.

do you need to keep the paper stick in your wee for 5 minutes or can you dip it in and slide it back into the packet?

If you can get hold of one of those little sample bottles that docs use (with the screw cap) they're very good for peeing into in public. I'd dip the strip, put it back into the packet & pop it in my bag to check on over a few mins. Just don't forget about the strip in your bag like I did on occasion!
