OK I'm ready to try OPKs
Hello ladies i've been around and trying for 3mths now i spose you could say casually. We have set a wedding date so now the timescale to get pregnant has increased priority and so I can find out when I ovulate i think it's time to try OPKs.
Having never used them at all (DS was a lovely surprise!) i wanted your advice and recommendation on which to buy, where from and any other tips really.
Thank you

I suppose you could say I have also been trying for 3 months although only made a proper effort last month using OPK. Didn't work (well not pregnant!) but it was good to know exactly when ovulating. I used the clear blue digital one - you get a smiley face when you are ovulating! It was quite pricey at ??22 though - although I hear you can get much cheaper ones.
I don't think I'll use it again this month, I know what my symptoms are now so I think I'll go au natural and hopefully time things right myself.
Hope ths is helpful
I have used them for two months and the day I ovulated changed so I am going to keep using them. They are expensive but worth it I think.
I think you can get them cheaper on ebay/amazon so I might give that a look now...

Question for you ladies now is...
Can I use the clear blue OPKs this month, even though i;m on CD9? Assuming I rush out to the shops and buy them!
They are super cheap, I bought miune for $11 for 40 tests (I live in the USA so paid $'s, but I believe they are just as cheap in ??'s).
Take a look at this webiste as it shows you what you're looking for, the pics with the series of tests were particulaly helpful to me. So I now use these teamed with BBT so I know when I'm about to ov and when I have ov'd.

Good luck hun.
Thanks for advice on trying later in the day, guess i've got a lot to learn about the topic of peeing on a stick! HEHE
How typical (and lovely) would it be if i didn't need the fertility monitor next month!?!
Might still buy some ebay ones as cycle is between 28 and 32 so not sure if 7 sticks will be enough. Then i guess i can always ebay the balance left over? or am i getting a bit obsessed with peeing on a stick?!
