heart Trying for a 2016 baby

@Smart 2 - With my son, I used the CB Digital. At that time I was not TTC and when I missed my period my hubby insisted we buy the most expensive test on the shelf. So I used that one. Was very easy to use and it even showed the weeks that I was pregnant. I think at that time (4 years ago) it showed pregnant 1-2 weeks or something. I tested a few days after AF was due. Have not tested before AF is due.
Hope it helps.

Fertilityplus.com:
Q: What time of day should I test?

A: The best time to test is 2 p.m., or as close as possible. Anytime between noon and 8 p.m. is fine, first morning urine is not recommended. The reason for this is that most women experience a surge in the morning, but it can take 4 hours for it to show up in your urine.

BabyCenter:
in general you should try to collect your urine between 10am and 8pm. The optimum time is supposed to fall between 2pm and 2.30pm.


ovulation-calculator.com:
Unlike pregnancy tests, morning (first morning urine) is not the best time to collect samples for ovulation tests, as LH is synthesized in your body early in the morning and will not appear in your urine until the afternoon. The ideal time to test is in the afternoon, around 2pm, though testing may safely take place from 10am to early evening.


So it seems the general consensus is the best time of day for an opk is 2pm.

Smart2 - I haven't ever actually used opks so unfortunately can't offer any info on that.

Inca - the CB site says many women find first thing in the morning easiest / most convenient, but that whenever you test you must make sure you've held your urine for at least 4 hours.
I have read elsewhere though (numerous times), that afternoons are the best as that's when the LH surge typically happens. Somewhere I read (can't remember where) actually pin pointed it to between 1pm and 2:30pm I think.

They reckon you should test at the same time daily - do any of you ladies know which time would be best to test opk?

@Zaza, I also tracked my cycle with the babycenter once, but found that Calora baby was more accurate. @Mrs Smith, try Calora baby as well.

I asked earlier if anyone use CBD pregnancy test before and what the experiences were?

Please share? I read some reviews; good and bad...

Mrs Smith,

Not too sure, I think it may be due to sperm cells having a life span of up to 5 days?

I told hubby that from CD9 to CD15 (just to make sure), we will bd everyday - Don't think he is complaining at all ;)

Trying not to be anxious - Really hoping this is going to be our month :)

Mrs Smith, The Clearblue digital's have 7 tests. I think it costs over R 200 for a pack.
