I took a test last Tuesday and Wednesday and got positve smileys. We DTD on Tuesday, but I'm not sure when I ovulated. My friend suggested I test already, but I feel like it's waaaaayyy too early. I am not sure when I ovulated because I'm incredibly irregular.

What do y'all think?

Thank you :)

It's too early. There's no good way to know when you ovulated, but I would test 12-14 days after you Dtd.

Thing is, you may not have even ovulated! Not trying to be a downer, but there are many ladies who get positive opks and then don't o (I'm one of them) the only way to know you ovulated for sure is if you're temping and you saw a clear temp rise. Opks only detect lh, which is an indication you *might* O. Most women ovulate in 8-48 hours but some don't. So let's say you did ovulate on Thursday, you really can't test until at least 10 dpo, so I'd say don't torture yourself and wait to POAS until next Saturday!

I am of the school of thought that later testing saves tons of heartbreak. I would wait till 12 DPO

Carmella raises a great point here - how sure are you regarding ovulation? Any symptoms aside from the OPK?

I had crazy cramping Wednesday, the day I believe I ovulated. I also
Had creamy looking ewcm. I'm pretty confident I O'd. But who knows :)
