My personal experience :-

I would stop drinking anything from 14:00pm starting on CD9/10, then I would do my pee-pee at around 18:00pm (also wouldn't wee from 14:00pm).
I would get a +OPK every month without fail! So afternoons personally worked best for me.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

an update...
i did another one at the same time today and the test line is lighter again. i was originally planning on doing them every second day. glad i didnt. if i had i would have totally missed the lh surge.
today i have the familar ov pains and other tell time signs.
now to catch the eggy!... :cheer:

i used to do them at random times- but read today that its best done from midday to midafternoon. so this is the first day ive done it at 1. felt a bit odd sneaking in to the work loo with my little plastic sample cup! :blush:

also read that its best to stick to the same time each day. one website recommended doing 2 per day. but given that i dont really know where i am in my cycle it could be 2 per day for 10 days or more!

i also read that its best not to drink anything for a couple of hours before you test, so that you dont dilute any possible response.

oh well... lets hope it works :)

Thanks Justine!

AF is only due for me now, so will start using them in about 10 /11 days time.

So you did yours around 1 as well?

Hi Klk...
what a good time for this topic to come up. ive had all the same questions for the last week now.
Im 27 days post a D&C and have no idea where i am in my cycle.
being the obsessive-compulsive i am i decided to try and find out.
did a couple of HPT to see when the HCG had left my system (it was really sad to hope for just 1 line, rather than 2).

finally got 1 line on ~12-14 days post D&C. for just over a week now i have been doing OPK's- faint lines on all days... until 1 hour ago!

the one i have just done has a test line that is definitely a lot darker than it ever has been. and im really really excited!

i think anything is worth a try at least once... so go for it. maybe it'll work for both of us!
