OPK question

jld1687

Hi Ladies. I am starting opks this month and i have a question about when to start using them. I know the package says if your cycles are less than 35 days to use them right after af, and if they are more than 35 to wait 3 days after af. My cycles are anywhere between 32-41 days. Well af ended for me on sunday, so today would be 3 days after. Should I start using them today? When do yall start using them after af? TIA!

Do you know the earliest you have O'd?? I'd take that day, and start a week before that. Or i'd start 20-25 days before you think your cycle is going to end. So if the earliest your cycle has ended was CD32, i'd start around CD10-13.

if you have the cheapies use them today- if not, id wait a couple of more days-

I would start using them on CD 10 the first cycle. I would think that would be a safe bet.

Since you have longer-ish cycles, I would start cd 10 this month.  Or if you start getting watery CM.  Be prepared to pee on them for several days though.

no i dont have the cheapies this time. I got a 20 pack of the FR ones. It came with a $10 mail in rebate and i had a $2 off coupon. I was thinking cd 10 as well. I will start them tomorrow on cd10

Good One Aubs, this exactly.  Unless you get a kajillion of in the mail from the internet cheepies I'd wait until cd 10-12 at least.  I didn't look at your chart or your cycles but cd3 is pretty early to start opk's, especially the pricey ones!
