CD 5...

This month was a bust, which is fine, this was our first TTCAL, so i wasnt sure when ovulated, i didnt use opks, i just went with a lets see what happens attitude. Its weird b/c it came 3 days early. My cycle was only 24 days, instead of the usual 27. This is a new month, and im going to use OPKs this month. Not sure how to use them. Any tips? what is a good brand?

for opks, i use the wondfo brand and i order them on amazon.com. a lot of the ladies here use them, too. they're cheap and accurate, and i've never had problems with them.

Great thank you. Do I use FMU, what is the best time to test?

i generally test a few times a day, so fmu is not a necessity.

^ I second this.  I ordered mine from Amazon, but occassionally early-pregnancy-tests.com is cheaper because of the free shipping.  They aren't the wondfo brand, but work the same way.

 According to peeonastick.com, "Should I use first morning urine (FMU) with OPK's? No. LH is synthesized early in the day, and is not metabolized into your urine until later. So, as a rule, you are more likely to catch your surge later in the day. ("They" say you should test sometime around 2-4 p.m., but I've had fine luck at 10 p.m.-midnight.) Using FMU may not be a problem for you, but if you do not detect a surge during the cycle you use FMU, try testing later during the next cycle.

Note: the Clearblue Fertility Monitor is the exception. The FM Monitor does require FMU."
