TTC after 35

CBE digital OPK

I'm going to use my kit this week sometime.  A little confused on the start of when to use it.  I read the instructions and I'm thinking day 11 but I wanted to get some advice from you girls first.  My last 4 cycles have been the following 26, 26, 32 and 29. Do u think day 11 ok ok or should I push it out a few more days?  I don't want o burn thru these tests ha!ha!  TIA Kel

Re: CBE digital OPK

  • Have you been charting? ?Do you know about what day you normally o, or does it change? ? Day 11 is probably fine. ?I usually start opks day 9 or 10 and get a positive day 12,13, or 14, so I usually go through most of a weeks worth of sticks. ?I know some ladies use cheapies until they get what they think is a positive and then confirm it with the CBE digital. ?I use CVS brand because those fancy ones are super expensive! ?GL!

  • Like Indiana I usually started on day 9 or 10 and really ended up using the whole weeks worth because I got over the top with POAS.  It really does depend on when you O.  My cycles used to average about 26-28 days and I O anywhere from day 12-16.

  • I used to start around 10 too. At cycle 5, all of a sudden I started Oing 5 days early than I had before. If I hadn't started testing early, I might have missed it.

    FWIW, I also broke down and bought the CBEFM since I was alrady spending so much money on OPKs!

  • I would start on whatever day it say to start for a 26 day cycle. You don't want to miss your O.
