when do you start testing for O?

[Mum2Romone]

Approximately how many days into your cycle do you start using ovulation tests?

I have no idea where in my cycle I am this month but I'm wondering for next month, when to test?

Any advice is totally appreciated I'm clueless

Hi mum2ramone!

I think from memory (and it was quite sometime again now) I used to test from day 10 or 11 but I do have a regular 28 day cycle.

HTH, hoping with all hope you get that BFP soon hun x

All the OPKs I have seen have said day 10 or 11, for the next month I will be doing it as soon as AF stops just so I can be sure when I Ovulate in case I go early ITMS?

Cool, thanks it's so confusing and Ive only tested twice ever so far and nothing

I start testing about cycle day 8 just to make sure I don't miss out! I've been caught once once before, never again lol.
I do have a regular 28 day cycle though.

It would depend how long your cycle is? I have a long cycle and normally O around day 23 but because I *can* be irregular I normally start around day 14.. and do it every 2nd or 3rd day.. Are you charting as well? I find using opk's work much better in conjunction with charting

About 2-3 days before I expect the surge (which is the day before you ovulate)... so for me, CD11/12.
