I just want to see if I am ovulating.
I ordered some to start checking; there is no instructions.
How do I get started?
Do I test in the morning or night?
Thanks
Cheri

in the late afternoon, pee in a cup, dip only up to the line for 3-4 seconds. Read at around 10 minutes.  if the two lines are the same color and intensity (basically the two lines look the same) you will be ovulating in 24-48 hours.  If ones lighter it's not positive

My RE (fertility dr) had me test in the evening and not urinate for a few hours before.  I would usually go right after coming home from work.

PS - good luck reading them.  I always had a very difficult time.  Eventually invested in Clear Blue Easy Digital.  There is no mistaking with them.  They are more expensive, but worth it IMHO!

I just bought a second pack of 50 of the cheap OPK strips from Amazon! I LOVE them! I finally got 2 positives with them my last 2 cycles. I'm tracking things right now to monitor my PCOS. There is no way I could afford to buy the more expensive ones at the store because I need way more than 10 per cycle to catch ovulation. Last month I ovulated on day 23, the month before that day 36. 
Good luck!

Hi~
It has been awhile, working and trying to get through some pain issues.
They thought I had MS but it is OA (osteoarthritis). Feeling much better with some medicine.
I can actually focus on eating right and exercising now~
I have been reading you posts.
You are in my prayers~
