I was always told to test until you get a positive and then do the bd. I never tested after that first positive.

Usually they detect the LH surge which happens 24-48 hours before ovulation so you should be ovulating the next day or the day after. I got a positive on 10/6 and 10/7, we BD on (I think) the 6th & 7th (can't remember) and I ended up with my bfp last wednesday. I hope they work for you!! Good luck and baby dust!!

I've been told that you will ovulate for 2-3 days, so you should be ok if you get more than one positive. I haven't tried them - anyone have a preference?

bubbles88,
I like the clearblue easy digital ovulation tests. the ones with the lines always confused me because one line has to be darker than another line, but just because you get two lines does not mean it's positive for that day...WAY too complicated for me. The digital tests are easy. They give you a smiley face or a circle. Also, remember with ovulataion tests, don't test with first urine in the morning (unlike pregnancy tests), you want to know the hormone levels for that day, not what was left for the day before. good luck!!!
