FR Ovulation tests and temp ?

[love_r4ks]

Anyone ever used the first response Ovulation tests? What did you think of them? I usually just use the IC from Amazon, (wondfo, I think) and I really like them. I recently bought a 7 pack of first response on clearance for $7 to try. Today is CD 13, IC is definitely negative, but much darker than the previous days (going by the previous months of using opk's, I'm guessing it should be + sometime tomorrow) I used the same urine, just cause I was curious what the FR would show, and the line is so faint I can barely see it. Which tests should I trust? Anyone know if one is more sensitive than the other?

okay, temp question I just started temping this cycle so I'm a rookie. How important is it to get at least a 3 hour stretch of sleep and test at the same time each morning? And why? If I can't do both, which is more important?

Thanks for any info/advice anyone can offer.

if you cant do both, its most important its after more than 3 hours... because it gives your body time to regulate its temp down to your BBT.

Same time every day isnt as important as it would seem, its better for habit than anything... but since I would wake up anywhere from 5am to 10am I just made sure to do it after at least 3 hours and had very very clear charts.

Thanks! That's what I was concerned about since the past 3 mornings Ive been woken up 2-4 times within my last 3-4 hours of sleep. Now, when you mean regulate "down", do you mean that my temp most likely would be higher without that 3 hours of sleep?
