First, I'm sorry if this is a lame question. I am not used to tracking my ovulation so I am an amateur and I know there are a lot of you on this board that know your body very well, so thank you for your patients with my ignorance.
My OB wants me to come in for a blood test 8 days after ovulation. I bought the First Response Ovulation Test kit and it says that I will ovulate 24 to 36 hours after the test shows the LH surge. If there is a 24-36 hour window, how will i know it is 8 days after? Should I just go in for my blood test 8 days after the LH surge? Has anyone used the First Response Ovulation Test kit or needed to come in to test progesterone that could help me? I just don't want to miss my day to get an accurate reading. Thank you in advance!
Re: Blood Tests & First Response Ovulation Test
If you decide to continue using opks, I recommend Clearblue Advanced Digital. You don't have to judge the darkness of lines, it just tells you your high and peak fertile days. I had trouble with the First Response tests.
Feel free to ask questions! It's not lame at all.

RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.
