OPK testing?

[TeamNguyen]

I did an ovulation predictor kit for 7 straight days. I wasn't aware that it's best to do it in the afternoon/evening and to do it around the same time everyday until about day 4. So, my testing was all over the place because I had just been doing it random hours of the day. Could this be why I didn't ever get a positive result? I did it during my fertile week. Even my ovulation day was negative.

What did you find worked best about the OPK kit? Is it possible to never have a positive result? Does this mean there's something wrong?

As cycle days can vary from woman to woman (and for me, month to month!) I tested every day from end of a period to the start of a new period to find out where my low/high/peak ovulation days were for the first two/three months until I could determine a rough pattern/no of days for ovulation to focus on for following months. Hormones are most concentrated when passing your first urine of the day so I stuck to first thing in the morning for tests. Based on the apps I was using to track my cycle, neither were that good at predicting when ovulation would occur to what the tests told me. Hope this helps - good luck!
