* When to start testing OPK? *

[lfc_sarah]

As this is my first cycle of trying and I'm on CD3 when should I start using my ovulation sticks to test when I get a +OPK?

Thank you! xxx

I'm no expert but I started at CD7. I used the maybe baby app on my iphone and it said I should ovulate on CD14. It was exactly right! Good luck!

I have longer cycles and I start on day 10 just to save money lol. Fir regular cycles I think they advise to start day 8 or 9

I have been testing since CD9 and still doing so in day 16! I guess I must ovulate quite late in my cycle!
It's also my first attempt so the novelty of POAS hasn't worn out yet but I guess if I need to do a few attempts then I will have to watch the cost of the sticks and be more economical ( testing once instead if 3 for example lol )

I'd start on CD7 in case you O early and so you can see a nice progression as your surge darkens. You could even start now if you want; it's interesting to observe the fluctuations over the course of your cyclr, IMO.

Thank you for all of the replies! I'm a completely new to all of this! xxx

I have long cycles so I'll probably start testing on day 13 (my cycles are ave. 35 days right now...boo).

[carmella_marie]

35 days isn't long!! My cycles used to be 60+days!!!

If you're just starting out with OPK it can help to start before you think you'll get one. I usually have people start CD 10 for CD 14 ovulation, but if you ever O on CD 12 you may want to start CD9 (doubful you'd ever get a pos on CD 8 regardless of cycle lenthg)

Thank you, I think I will do that for my first cycle! 😊
