OPK question/IUI question

Marie6 · December 2009

I'm in my first Clomid/IUI cycle and I have a couple questions...

1. What time of the day is best to take the OPKs? (I'm sorry, I know this has been asked a lot)

2. Around what day did you get a positive? I'm on CD11 and haven't received a positive yet...

Thanks for any info!!

I use the clear blue easy monitoring kit and I test in the morning. I get a high warning and then the ovulation peak. On clomid I was high starting day 9 or 10 but didn't ovulate til day 15-18.

Hope this helps!

When I tried to use OPKs with Clomid, it didn't work. The Clomid messed with the test. I did test in the morning and in the evening though.

I always test in the morning, although the directions tell me not to. I still am always right on with my morning urine. So whatever! I've done them in the evening and it works too. I always get a positive around CD 12 or 13. It varies..I wouldn't worry about CD 11 being negative. That's early, unless you are an early ovulator. My friend didn't get a positive until CD 17! So keep going!

Thanks ladies. I'm testing in the afternoon since it says not to test in the morning. Maybe I'll start testing morning and evening...

My RE has asked me to test around noon every day. She said definitely don't use FMU and don't intentionally drink a lot of water before testing. I believe in testing 2x/day, too, just in case.

On Clomid, I O way earlier than naturally. The days I take Clomid have made a difference to when I O'd. Taking Clomid CD5-9, I got +OPK around CD15. With Clomid CD3-7, I usually start getting +OPK around CD10.

It's frustrating not to be able to confirm O afterward since the trigger shot will give you a false +. Just have to assume the shot does its job!
