Question

Is there a certain time frame on when to take ovulation tests? My lines don’t seem to be getting darker but I don’t know if that’s due to the time I’m taking them or simply because I’m just not ovulating.

Answer

With opk’s, never use FMU (unless instructed in the instructions). Choose two times between 10 AM and 8 PM that you can test at every day at the SAME two times (so you don’t miss your surge); and use a 4 hour pee hold each time (and try not to drink a lot of liquids during the hold times). Once the test line is as dark as, or darker than, the control line - you have a positive/peak. Once you get a positive/peak opk, ovulation will occur within 12-36 hours; and the egg - once released - will be viable for 12-24 hours. However, note: opk’s only detect your LH surge. You would also have to temp to confirm if/when ovulation has taken place.
