Ovulation Strips?!

Question

Next cycle, I want to start tracking if/when I’m ovulating. But I have NO idea when/if ovulate or how to work those ovulation tests. 
For example, do I start testing the day after my period? Since I literally have no idea when I’m ovulating. I’ve read the 14 day rule isn’t always accurate for some.  
Do I test in the morning with FMU or do I test in the afternoon? I’m a big water drinker, can that dilute tests?
EDUCATE ME!!! Please :) lol. I have no idea what I’m doing.

Answer

Best to start with a digital one and a regular at the same time. It will help you learn your ovulation cycle. It will also help you determine what your ovulation line looks like, the line is supposed to be darker than the control line. My line never really was but my RE confirmed I ovulate (plus I already have two children). I have unexplained infertility. My doctor also recommended testing first thing in the morning. Which is totally opposite of what most people will say. My RE even said the test recommends testing in the afternoon, but she has her patients test in the a.m.

Answer

I start to test a week after my period.
Everyday at 2 pm. It’s recommended that you do not use first morning urine.

Answer

I usually start testing about 5 days after my period every day when I get home from work (around 4).

Answer

I usually start testing on CD 10 or so. Depending on the ovulation test type, it’ll depend on when you should take the tests. However I don’t really listen to this much. Usually I take one in the morning, and then when I get home from work around 4pm. I’ve also gotten my lh surge from taking them in the evening. So idk if it matters that much. Mind you I kind of suck at drinking enough water throughout the day. When I was newer to using them I would use cheap ones for daily testing, then when I thought I was getting super close or had gotten my surge I would use a digital opk to confirm.
