Typically, you should test twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, starting around cycle day 10.
However, this can vary based on your cycle length and individual response to Clomid. Consider these factors:
- Cycle Length: If your cycles are shorter than average (less than 28 days), begin testing earlier, around cycle day 8 or 9. Longer cycles (over 35 days) may require starting even later, perhaps around day 12. Previous Cycles: If you’ve tracked your ovulation previously, use that data as a guide. Start testing a few days before your typical ovulation date. Clomid Response: Your doctor might advise adjusting testing frequency based on your response to the medication. Ultrasound monitoring can provide clearer information about follicle development, guiding OPK testing strategy.
Look for a surge in the LH hormone; two strongly positive tests are usually seen before ovulation occurs. Continue testing until you have two consecutive positive results. After confirming ovulation, stop testing. Don’t continue testing for extended periods; focus testing around the anticipated ovulation timeframe.
Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your unique circumstances and response to Clomid.
Consult your doctor for personalized advice. Use OPKs correctly, following the package instructions. Record your results carefully to track your cycle and ovulation.
