When to inseminate?

Question

I say "inseminate" because I am with a female partner so there's no sex with a man involved. But my question is for anyone!
​
​We will finally be starting TTC next cycle. I do not ovulate on my own so my MD is starting me on Clomid. I should be ovulating right around the first week of April!
​
​My questions:
​1.  Any recommendations on OPKs?  I was thinking of using Clearblue Advanced. 
​2. When should we inseminate?  We plan on doing 2 inseminations (sperm isn't cheap!) so I want to make the most of it. If we use Clearblue, should I do it the first day I get the flashing smiley, and then 2 days later (in theory my peak day)?  
​
​Any help would be appreciated!!!

Answer

You guys are wonderful!  Thanks for the help!!!

Answer

I use Clearblue advanced and I love it. So easy! Good luck to you :)

Answer

Definitely clear blue. And yeah - I get like 6 flashing days sometimes - so wait for solid.

Answer

I use the regular clear blues. No flashy smileys - just the solid. Not sure if it's better, just another option. 
​
​Good luck!!

Answer

Hi Kristin! I would suggest clear blue opk. I think it's the easiest one to use...u feel like it's opk's for dummies! You don't have to see if a line gets darker and all that. Just look for the solid smiley Nd you're good to go! Hope that helps! Good luck to you

Answer

Thank you so much!  I'm glad I asked because I would have been off!
​
​Is any one OPK better than another?  Or should I be good with Clearblue Advanced?
​
​Thanks!

Answer

Good luck!!!

Answer

Nope. You could get multiple days of flashing smileys. Wait till you get you solid. So it that day and the day after.
