Answer 1

You should start using it 15 days before your next expected period but if your a bit irregular at the moment i wouldnt start untill you have a rough idea of your cycles start charting your temps for a few months this will give you some idea of when your ovulating and then use the test when your temprature rises then you wont be waisting too much money.

And remember ovulation kits are slightly diffrent to a hpt sometimes they will apear to you as positive when its not you will have the control band and the test band has to be as dark as the control or darker for it to be a true positive anything lighter or with a color diffrence can be classed a a negative.

Answer 2

It can be a little tricky if your periods aren't the same length each month. I watched my vaginal discharge and when I noticed a change (a white stretchy discharge), I would take the ovulation test. It always turned when I got that type of discharge. You're going to have to use the test days before you ovulate because it turns 24-48 hours before ovulation. Think of the first day of your period as DAY ONE. On day TEN, you should start using the tests. Do it the same time of day each day until in turns. It will turn around DAY 12-13 if your cycle is normally 28 days. Best of luck to you.

Honestly with as hard as they are to read....did them the first 3 months of TTC which have been at for 2 years with 2 losses...so I know how difficult they are...I went through a tubal ligation reversal to get pregnant and that was the first thing the doctor said to use....but the lines are so similar in color.
So I have a better sollution...http://www.mymonthlycycle.com it is free to use the period/ovulation and pregnancy board, but there are premium services as well...or you can find tips on the message board I belong to...and join me in the monthly adventure...I expect AF 3/2...tested already because I am crazy like that, 3 days is to early to tell !!!

Answer 4

So in 13 days you have had a era, ovulated, and gotten 2 effective being pregnant attempt??? It sounds a splash weird and wonderful to me, yet i'm effective it is not impossible. i'd wait a pair extra weeks (whilst your era is think to come again) and take yet another attempt. no remember if that's effective at that ingredient i'd pass see a Dr. good good fortune to you :)

Answer 5

I have only done the clearblue ovulation test, and I did the 5th day after my cycle started. I would use the one which is for a 28 day cycle. They say you use your shortest cycle according to the kit.

Good luck.
