just a tip for you fabulous ladies: the best time to do an ovulation test is during the same time everyday. this is because ovulation tests are used over time, and are not just looking for the presence of a substance, but rather checking how the levels of that substance vary from one day to the next.

It is also adviceable if you have not eaten or drank anything prior to the two hours of testing. :)

good one. its actually in the label but since some women lead busy lives it can be pretty easy to overlook something simple as taking a test.

i do mine a before bedtime since it is more convenient for me.

i comitted this same mistake. i never tested during the same period. this can seriously have an impact on the results since you are looking for a specific change.

did the same thing to madame_cora. I used to take a test whenever it felt convenient. it feels great to have forums like this that makes you realize that somebody else made mistakes too.

dont be so hard on yourself Mikoto. Everybody makes mistakes and fertility treatment and topics can be very intimidating at times. I was even depressed for a while and felt all alone in the world. Luckily sites like this one allows us to voice out our concerns, mistakes and hopes!
