    I'm a poas-oholic. I tested at least every 4. I liked the know exactly when that surge hit. For me the little extra spent on tests was worth it to know I nailed my timing. Just something to consider. Good luck!!

    Still getting negative on the OPK...which is technically okay since I think my ovulation date will be on Thursday. However, that doesn't keep me from panicking a bit!
    I think I will be following OkayBaby's lead and start testing more!

    I bought the cheap dip tests off amazon (wondfo) and use those every 4, or every time I went. When it was close to positive I'd also use a smiley (clearblue) to confirm. I could nearly pinpoint the hour the LH surge happened. Also a couple cycles I noticed the Lh strip would get fainter than it had been then BAM undeniably positive all of a sudden. LH testing was the most stressful part of the whole process for me. Good luck, keep testing, it's gonna happen .. Then the dreaded tww haha the fun never ends!! ;p
