When is the best time or times of day to test for ovulation? Morning? Afternoon? Night? A couple times?

2nd morning urine is recommended. You can test at anytime but 2nd morning urine is the best.

You usually surge in the afternoon. But you can try with second morning urine just don't stop there.

Around 11 am and 5pm. Sometime I will around 10pm, too. Never in the morning.

Hi Lauren, I'm in a similar situation as you. We've been trying for about 5 months with no success. I was on the pill for about 10 years and stopped taking it a year ago. My doctor (and most research) stated that a healthy couple who is seriously trying can take up to a year to conceive naturally, so you are going on four months. I wouldn't worry just yet. :-) I also use OPKs and I think they work (clearblue easy digital is the best), but I also know when I ovulate because you can feel it, most women get "period like" cramping on the day of OV. I use www.webmd.com they have an ovulation calendar that is right on, you just enter your last three periods and it tells you when you are expected to ovulate in the next cycle. It was right on for me this last time. Im also taking Fertilaid, and noticed I have more energy and my period seems to be more regular. I didn't even have cramping on this thing. I know its frustrating, and you feel hopeless, but you will succeed. :-) Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Dear SJT48:Thank you for your inquiry. If you wanted to check your LH levels, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 hours between to collect a sample. This can reduce a chance of testing a diluted sample. This is important to find a peak LH level, which the test line should be just as dark or darker than the control line. Please keep in mind to track your period cycles in order to find the best times of the month to test and physical symptoms such as Basal body temperature or increased bodily fluids. We hope this helps.Best Regards,Easy@Home Customer Service855.822.6999 M-F 9am-5pm CST Dear SJT48:Thank you for your inquiry.

Wait until you are near where you think you should ovulate. This depends on your cycle but if you have a fairly regular cycle at about 28 days in length start testing around day 10 or 12, you don't want to miss it but you also don't want to waste the strips. The strips also come with instructions on when you should start testing

It was almost a year ago when you asked this question but I just saw this. The peak (3 bars) are due to a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH). LH first surges 4-6 hours after we wake up but as the monitor asks for the first morning pee it might miss it completely it some cases. If the doctor says all is well with the two of you, then try setting the test window for the second morning urine (between 10am and 2pm) for one cycle and see if she gets a peak. I hope this helps.

No. They are used to test when you ovulate during the month. The pregnancy tests test to see if you are pregnant.

Make sure u are using the pregnancy test and not the ovulation tests. I know it sounds stupid, but I mixed them up before...lol

No, but it's better if it is concentrated. If you drink a lot of fluids through the day, the urine is usually not concentrated. That is why they recommend morning urine, which is approximately 8 hours after your last drink. My wife used to test twice a day and once the hcg level was above 50, it used to show up positive all the time with any urine, day or night.

I apply it from day 7 to 14 of my cycle once a day. Other people may apply it differently. When in doubt ask your doctor.

I'm not an MD, but in everything I've read everyone's ovulation and menstral cycles seem to be different. Everyone goes at their own pace.

If I remember correctly you would use them between days 10-18 of a 28 day cycle. I used them at the same time each day right when I woke up in the morning after I took my bbt. I have also read that if you continue to use them for a few months with no luck you may need to use them twice a day as your ovulation window may be very narrow. Check out www.tcoyf.com, lots of good info (of which I have no affiliation).

Ovulation test strips are to help you see the hormone surge that occurs before ovulation.(so to answer you question for the most part yes) For most women that means you should be ovulating 24-48 hours after having a positive strip. The best way to know (when or close to when you normally ovulate) is to keep track of you temps by charting, sites like fertility friend can help you with that. Ovulation strips are a tool that can make charting and pinpointing ovulation easier.

I'm not a doctor but I would say either no, you didn't ovulate or you may have missed your "LH" surge. You should take the test at the same time everyday and do it between the hours of 10am -8pm. In my experience it was not question, you will know when you ovulate because the test line DOES become DARK to equally DARK as the original line.

When trying to compare a pregnancy test to an ovulation (because lh test will always have a faint line), DO NOT have them touch if still wet. The antibodies in the lh test are different in the hcg tests and so the color can actually jump over and cause a false positive. Tried it myself with the same lot that has been 100% accurate before and I got false positives. It's not the tests.

Great question! Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Tests are looking for estrogen and LH at specific levels. The Clearblue Fertility Monitor compares each test stick to the next to establish your result. Hope this helps!

It happened to me 2 months ago and I kept on getting flashing smileys for 25 days . Thought this test is expired then figured out i ovulated day 35 which was confirmed by blood work done to test my progesteron levels . Had an unovulatory cycle for the 1st time that month! So keep on testing you might just be ovulating later this month. It can happen!! Good luck to you�
