Hi Girls,
I ordered some OPK's from save on tests and I was wondering if any of you know how long they take to arrive?

i ordered their pregnancy tests on a Saturday, and they were in my mail box the following Thursday! So you should have them in less than a week  They come from a Canada address in a normal envelope.

Cool, so I ordered some on Tuesday so I should hopefully have them this week - just in time for ovulation.
I have never used OPK's before - anyone got any good advice?

Interesting! Thank you for all that info.
So if I ovulated on day 14 on my first round and day 16 on my second..... should I start taking them around day 10ish?
When you get a positive one, how long after generally will you ovulate?

Also, as you get close to ovulating, (if you have enough) use them a couple of times a day.
I didn't know about using them in the afternoon, but the day before I ovulated I tested at 10am, 3pm, and 8pm, and the 3pm one was the only positive. So I think it can be worth using a couple a day to make sure you see the surge.

Ok, my tests arrived today but no instructions.
Is the control line the line closest to the top or bottom?

It's closest to the green part, furtherest from where the urine touches.

How many time a day do you girls test?
I was thinking once a day around 6pm? Would that be ok?
I just dont really wanna be doing them at work and I work from like 630am - 6pm.

They do say afternoon is best. I know the day I got the surge last month I tested 10am, 3pm and 8pm, and only the 3pm OPK actually picked it up. So I think if you did wait till 8pm you might miss it.
