First time using Ovulation Test Kit

Just bought the Clear blue test yesterday.
my periods are about 24D. So will start testing on Day 5 or 6.
Has this worked for anyone?
And what is your story if you don't mind telling me.

Thanks.

ok - tried it for 7 days as box instructed but no LH surge. So bought a new box. Does this even work? Any success stories out there?

I liked the digital ovulation kits. I could never tell when I was ovulating with the regular ones.

I have the Clearblue monitor and I have used it in the past. I LOVE it!!!!! When money is tight I buy OPK's off of Early-Pregnancy-Test.com. But other than that my main monitor I use is Clearblue.

I used the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor and loved it. I initially was just using some sticks and hated them.
The monitor is the best and well worth the money. I got pregnant the first month I used it!

I think it's a great tool to use especially in conjunction with a BBT chart. It makes it so that you're not shooting in the dark, guessing at the best time to BD. I'm not a success story yet, but I think using the chart and the OPK takes some of the worry out of this process.

Here's the thing about the OPKs though - they can be a little difficult to read. You almost always have LH in your system so sometimes your test line will be very clearly present and you'll wonder whether it's positive. But when it's positive, it's definitely positive (no having to guess whether the line is at least as dark as the other). Also, VERY important, don't use first morning pee! From what I've read - and from my experience - best results are from between 11 am and 8 pm. That's because you don't start producing the LH until the daytime.

Good luck!!
