Share with you - Ovulation Predictor Strips (OPKS)

[Joyce_f]

Hi, I have been trying to conceive for a long time, I used to buy those ovulation testers in Watsons, cost a fortune. A few months ago, on a trip to China I have found that David ovulation testers selling in the local drug store, much much cheaper, I bought one box of 100pcs, only cost a few hundreds dollars. If anyone want some, I can share with them, just send me a PM. I guess it will take me a long time to finish the 100pcs.

I used something called Maybebaby. It worked quite well with my previous preg. I am planning again soon so will be using that instead of the strips.

Wonderful/Joyce,

Have you managed to figure out the David instructions on the back? I figure I should be ovulating this week and will take my first test in the next day or two.

Oh yes, There should be two red lines on the strip if you are going to ovulate in 24 to 48 hours, the upper line is the control line.
1) If two lines are visible and the lower line is the same as or darker than the upper one, it indicates that you are going to ovulate in 24 to 48 hours.
2) If two lines are visible , but the lower line is much lighter than the upper one or if there is no lower line, that means that no LH surge has been detected and daily testing should be continued.

You should not use morning urine, and reduce liquid intake approximately 2 hours before the test. Try to do the test around the same time each day.

Only soak the tester for about 5 seconds, don’t soak it for too long.
Hope this can help.

Joyce - THANK U, THANK U!

Am going to test later today. Good luck to everyone.

Got up today, my temp started getting low, I guess I will ovulate in the coming few days. Do you chart your BBT? It is good to use the testers together with your temp charting.

I haven't started charting my BBT yet. I did try and use the David OPK last night. Was a bit lazy to find a cup so just peed on the stick. That didn't work. The entire thing fell apart.:haha:

Joyce what does a single line mean? I'm on day 13 of this cycle and should be ovulating but did the OPK this morning and only got a one line.

Hi TTC#2,

Sorry for the late reply, I did not have time to check. single line means that you have not ovulated. The single is the control line, if you are going to ovulate, there should be 2 lines.

 

[TTC#2]

Joyce, Thanks for your reply. I never got 2 lines. I wonder if I was doing something wrong or didn't ovulate this month. Will try again next month.
