Ladies, what is the best time to do an Ov test?



There's no better way to feel special than to make someone feel special.

Glad to have thoroughly read MSE weekly email .. Found this forum!

I am TTC for first baby from 07/12. Had an ectopic in 11/11. Haven been waiting eagerly for BFP. I have weight issues and longer/irregular cycles. The trouble is to identify cycle length each month. Alternative months seem to have a similar cycle length. Jan cycle was 34 days while that in Dec was 30. The one in Noc-12 was 46 !, never had that long cycle before but it could be bcos of stress.

Currently waiting for Ov , using IC OPKs for Ov detection. I tracked BBT and Ov for few months. I do get LH surge but still no luck! Starting to get stressed about it now and pressure from DH and family increasing too. Any sords of advice would be great.

Hi welcome to the thread!

Do you mean you get positives on the opks but then your temp doesn't rise so it doesn't look like you're ovulating?

The best time is supposed to be around 2pm but I think the main point is that you don't do them too early in the day, so after 11am and up until around 11pm

Hello there - I'm hoping one of you knowledgable people will be able to help me with this. I've taken a couple of sainsbury's tests this morning and this evening (from the same packet) and for each I got the "negative" line straight away, but no control line.

If I get no control line does this mean the entire test is invalid? Or does the negative result still stand? The control line should be vertical, like the "positive" bit.

I've heard it said that no lines mean that the test hasn't worked, but not found anything about a negative but no control line.

TIA

Are the tests those blue ones with the cross?

Otherwise I can only picture tests with a control line & then you either get a second line for a positive or blank if its negative.

Yes, sorry I should've said. They're the blue ones with two windows, one for the control line and then in the other you either get a + or -

Also meant to add, I'm getting a "-" but no control line

What does it say on the box?

I'd assume it was a duff test if there's no control line. I guess you could take it back if you're not too embarrassed to!

It says that if you don't get any lines, you've not used it properly! But doesn't say anything about getting a "-" and no control line

Think I'll stick to the pink ones/easy to read ones in future...
