Does anyone know if Ultira-C or Prosed or anything alters the effects of an OPK? I keep getting negatives on my OPK even though all other signs are there! HELP!:help:

OPK is Ovulation Predictor Kit. :) Where you pee on a strip and it tells you if you have a LH surge for conception!:bonk:

Thanks for the explanation! I have never been in the position of TTC, well, I've been in the "position" but trying NOT to conceive :biglaugh: but now I am surprised that I didn't know what OPK stands for since my sister was using similar things for a few years when she was TTC.:bonk: But she doesn't have IC or suffer from UTIs so I don't think she's ever taken Pyridium type meds. I do know that my doctors don't really like it when I've taken Pyridium when they are doing a urinalysis. Well, I'm sure the other ladies will chime in who know more than I do about whether these types of meds will affect OPK results!:)
Best wishes to you!:smile tee

All I could say is that it may make the results more difficut to read. I doubt it would affect ovulation though. Good luck :)
