Im using clearblue digital ovulation kit this month (may as well try something - feel more productive!) just want to know if anyone knows if it matters if i use it at different times in the morning, as i work shifts, so sometimes i am testing at 6-7am and sometimes at about 10am, really dont want to get up at 7 am to test when im no working until later so just hoping its ok to do it whenever getting up? on day 11 of cycle now and started testing this morning. generally have 30 day cycle. any info appreciated! 0

Dublinlady, I would be interested in knowing the answer to your query also as I find myself very forgetful about using the ovulation p sticks at the same time each day
Do you use the test every day of your cycle til you find out your ovulating? Or just start using them say a week after a period?
I'm so annoyed, I didn't have the ovulation tests last month so ttc roughly around the time I was ovulating.
I'm not even going to try get my hopes up for this month. I was in work today & had to pick up a customers toddler to stop him running out the door into traffic.
The little 'darling' kicked me really hard in the abdomen when I picked him up, I don't think that does things down there too much good
I'm shocked at how strong the child was, I felt sick for about an hour after & its still tender. I'm normally a hardy thing, but this was sore!
Wouldn't mind but the parents didn't even thank me & barely acknowledged me (or their child! :mad:) when I handed him back. :mad::mad:0 -

Oh my god you poor thing!!
I work in retail also and have to say, i love children but i despise parents who dont at least pretend to make an effort to tidy up after their kids when they have caused complete chaos!! I understand the parent has their hands full and dont expect them to actually tidy up after them, im willing to do it, bit it just irritates me when they dont at least look apologetic...!!
Sorry random rant over! Hope ur ok tho!?
I have not really tried them before but on my pack (which contains 7 tests strips and one digital reader) it said to just test from day 11 to 18 (as i have a 30 day cycle - i think you start on day 10 if 28 day). As i have a 30 day cycle i expect to ovulate on day 16 but want confirmation as my cycle has not been right since the m/c in august. But i really dont think you need to be testing for more than day 10 to about 17-18 depending on your cycle lenght as you should be ovulating 14 days before your expected AF. What stage of ur cycle are you at? I hope it goes well for you, im at the stage where im just a little disheartened, ill keep trying but part of me already feels defeated... maybe that as taken some pressure off me tho.... i dont expect it to happen for months and months and just know it will be worth it in the end. This realisation = much less stress!0 -
hi there, just to chime in... avoid using ovulation tests first thing in the morning. LH (the hormone that surges to trigger ovulation) takes time to show up in your urine. It is processed overnight but won't reach your urine in time for your first morning wee. Test using your second urine or any time thereafter up until late evening (9pm).
Just my own personal experience with CB digi ovulation tests is that they are a bit too sensitive and can give lots of smiley faces, it once happened to me for 4 days in a row. Alongside them I was doing the regular internet cheapie tests (I am a pee stick addict), and while the 4 days were all 'strong' only one of them (the last one) was a blaring positive. If I had have been using the dig's on their own I might have stopped having sex too early, know what I mean?
best of luck
I got my positive ovulation test today so now need to get to it!

Detective foxtrot
Thanks for chiming in!!:D
Still no smiley face but only on day 14 of 30 day cycle, wondering does it go smiley the day before or the day of ovulation? on the box it says anywhere up to 48 hrs which would mean i should have got one today! I did my usual morning test but after reading ur advice i did another one at 2 and still nothing. I suppose im not letting the testing affect my attempts as have already planned (and so far so good) to bd on day 10,12,14,15,16,17 just to make sure! Really im just doing the testing for reassurance that everything is gone back to normal after the m/c. its expensive enough tho so just wanted to do it for one month to be sure, if no luck this month may try charting temperature etc, sure anything for a bit of diversion!

that sounds like an excellent pattern for intercourse!:D - good plan Dublinlady!
I got my first positive OPK on Thurs eve (Day 15), then got a second positive Friday eve, then I ovulated Saturday. (I know it's Saturday due to my temps and other signs like ovulation pain and increased sex drive). My intercourse pattern is 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18 (17 is ovu day), will go again tomorrow, then skip a day, then again, then skip a day ( I like to have all my bases covered). Poor OH doesn't know what has hit him!
So to answer your question, you usually ovulate the day after the positive test. It can occur on the same day, but rarely. This only happens if you tested early in the day and you caught a positive on the end of the surge, you could technically ovulate later that eve. To be sure I always have sex the day of my first positive and then every day until ovulation is confirmed (by my charting software) and then every other day again for a while after that.
Hope this helps 0 -

Just joined boards today so all new to me!
Delighted to have found this thread.
We have being ttc for 2 years now - clomid for 6 months and now this month on injections and got a follicle of 18mm. Trying to keep fingers crossed.
Anyone know how soon you can test?
Bursting to know if this has finally worked! trying to stay positive!!!:D:D:D
Welcome
Am not to knowledgeable on injects but from reading other boards you shouldn't test too early as you'll get positives from the HCG trigger shot injection. Probably best to wait until your period is due or maybe 1 or 2 days before that, but avoid super early testing ... you don't want to get freaked out by a positive that turns negative, although if you can handle that you can technically test whenever you want.

aw thanks May x
Another tip dublinlady is to put a pillow under your bum after intercourse, to help the swimmers. I though this was an urban myth (although followed it religiously) until my RE actually advised it also
Try avoid going the loo up to an hour after sex, as there's a risk that kegels will push the sperm back out.
Good luck and get to it girl!0
