I too was told by my RE to not use OPK at all. All meds and the trigger throw it off anyway.
I thought I was to use them also but when I did, I got all 4-5days leading up to my 2 darkest days, ALL DARK. I asked the day of my IUI if my nurse wanted to see them and she said, they won't do any good because CD11 and on should all be dark....and they were.
