Success achieving pg with OPK strip tests?

[Batia]

Since I am new to using these I am full of questions! 

How many of you ladies have had success with achieving a pg using these? And how quickly? 1 month? 2 months? 3? or longer? 
Just curious?? Love those statistics! 

 

Posted in TTC but wanted to post here for those who did get pg using the OPK's..:)

Used pee on a stick kind by First Response for probably 4 months (though it took 2 yrs to conceive).  Despite following all instructions religiously sometimes didn't get a super convincing positive.  Tried some of the cheaper brands other cycles and they were much worse (never got a positive with them).  However, I started doing basal body temps along with this and it confirmed for me the pattern that I saw before ovulation.  I would use them in conjunction with temp monitoring to help you get a feel for how accurate they are for you.  Good luck!

i used OPK strips when TTC both my sons. it took 15 months to conceive my first. my second was conceived seven months after my cycle returned PP, but i actually also conceived the two months prior (but miscarried both times). always had well-timed sex, am clearly able to carry a pregnancy once it's established, just sorta slow to conceive, i guess.

for me, the OPK just supported what i already knew from my very clear CM pattern. my dates all match up and i got to know my body well enough that i could tell more about ovulation from watching my own signs than the OPK, but i liked doing them anyway.

they WERE accurate for me, and i only ever got a second line (and it was dark) just before ovulating, but even with that, it took a long while.

I used Wondfo strips- I found the second line was constantly present before ovulation, and I had to carefully gauge whether it was dark enough to be a positive or not.  I know a lot of people prefer the ones that have the smiley face so you never have to wonder.

I conceived my first month trying and using strips, and it was post tubal reversal also.  That being said, that is NOT common...

I am using the Wondfo strips also and I have had success getting a dark as the control line and then darker this month. I did get the light lines but I knew to look for as dar or darker than the control lines. I am also using my clearblue fertility monitor along with the OPK's. The OPK's picked up ovulation; LH before the monitor did. But once I had positives with the OPK's I knew the monitor would be peaking within a day and it did.
