Can you use opk’s during a clomid?

I was reading on the direction in my answers opk’s that it could cause a false- or false+.

Is this true or our they just mentioning it because they don’t recommend it.

Depends on what days you take them.

I usually started my OPKs like 2 days after last pill and take them around 5 in the afternoon...no peeing or drinking for atleast 2 hours. I never got a false positive doing it that way.

Goodluck!

what brand do you use?

March 11, 2008

I use these ones I get off Ebay, or I use Answer Brand strips, but they are really hard to tell if they are positive, so I dont recommend them.

Try maybe First Responses 7 pack in any drug store, or there brand, they work a lot better!!

Im going to take my hpt on 12DPO if my temps stay the same or go up, if they fall I wont test and then I will expect AF to come Saturday.

Wishing you the best sweetie and loads of ovulation dust!!!!

I took clomid for three cycles and used opks each month. I think they work great. I prefer the digital type because they are much easier to read. There is a smiley face if you are ovulating and an empty circle if you are not. I also took them in the morning when I woke up, since you should not pee for a few hours prior. I am now 9 weeks and 1 day pregnant.

Good luck and lots of baby dust to you!

I was told by my doctor that the best time to take is @ 2:00 because women usually have the LH surge between mid night and 8:00am but it takes 6 hours for it to show up in the urine.............

I agree with you. You can also get false positives in the morning sometimes. I know I did thats why I would never take them in the morning ever again in my life.
