Wondfos New user!

Just ordered the opk/hpt kit from amazon after lurking around on the bump, a lot of ppl seem to like them...anyhow I've been on google looking for directions.  I knw how to use a hpt :) But the opk is new for me.  Would I test everyday after my cycle, some ppl test 2X a day?? What are the rules? On a side note I have irregular periods if that makes a difference.

Test twice a day in case you have a short surge.  Try looking on peeonastick.com, I think they have suggestions on when to start taking them according to typical cycle length.  Good luck!

That or something similar should come with your OPK's. Anyhow, I am a new user too, just waiting on them to get to my house. I got my first shipment of 25 HCG's and I tried one out just to see what it compares to the in store tests. I think they "look" cheap, but they seem to work well.

(yes, "5" is supposed to appear twice)

 I also agree with testing twice a day. I usually test before work at 6am and after work around 5-6pm. I may even test a third time before bed if it was close, but not quite positive after work.
