Hi! Please help me know my ovulation dates :)

Hello ladies, DH and I have been TTC for quite a while now. Lately, I'm trying to track my ovulation. Last month, I started using OPK but I was wondering if there is such a thing as "good timing/ bad timing" when using the OPK cause I never had the BFP even on OPKs (sigh). Anyway, I tracked my monthly period and I was wondering if you could help me track my ovulation dates:

Feb 1
Mar 6 (37 days)
April 10 (36 days)
May 10 (30 days)
June 18 (40 days)
July 28 ( 41 days)

I would really, really appreciate it if you could help me on this. Thanks very much! Xoxo. Baby dust to everyone!

I would suggest charting, b/c that will cover the whole month and your cycles are rather long to be picking a date and keep trying! I am not sure what is normal Ovulation time for a cycle that long, and you might not even O at the normal time anyway. I used to buy my OPK online, they were so much cheaper! Although for over a year I never got a positive on one of those kits, but was ovulating from my b/w. Now my RE has me on HCG trigger shots at CD 12 to help with timing of ovulation! Good luck

The Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor and the individual Digital test sticks are best. The CBE Digital tests are easy to read rather than trying to figure out just how dark that second line may or may not be. The CBE monitor I hear is really good, just a bit more money, but either way look for them both on ebay. Good Luck

Hi
Has anybody tryed Answer brand opk, I bought that one and it's driving me crazy trying to figure out if the test line is a peak or not. This morning the test line showed dark, but only half of the width not the whole width, therefore, If the width has no influence on the result then I had my peak this morning and I will have to go for IUI tomorrow.
Any body out there using or used this brand, or experieced problems trying to read the results?

Yessica I used answer for the last 2 months and this month i had the same problem as you. THe month before my line was clearly darker than the control but this month i had about 3 days in a row where the 1/2 the line was dark and the other wasn't. I have been equally as confused. Next month I am def. not using them anymore.
