WHen in your cycle do you start testing with OPK?

I purchased some OP from wondfo on amazon, I am on day 7? f my cycle and I am wondering when I should start testing with them and how often I should test with them?

Also I have officially decided to get a new BBT tonight, my BBT from walgreens read 96.23 the last three days. i am going to buy a new one and take that one out and stomp on it in the drive way!! Not really but I am going to be making a trip to the store tonight!

My first cycle using OPKs (also my first cycle charting my temps,) I started on the suggested day CD10.  I wasted a lot of OPks since I did not O until CD21.  Last month I started using OPKs after I got EWCM, I used far fewer OPKs that way.  I will be doing the same thing this month.

I there, do you know your cycle length? My OPKs recommend testing from day 11 for those with a 28 day cycle. Hope this helps!

My first cycle I tested every day just because I had no idea what my body was going to do. This cycle (cycle #2) I waited til CD9 I think, I'll test once a day until the line starts to get a little darker and then I'll test 2x a day. I don't know if it's right, but it's what I'm doing for now.

Usually around day 9 or so.  But it really depends on how long your cycle typically is (or at least that is what the instructions for my OPKs say).  If it's your first time using them, I would start early if you have enough to get you through an entire cycle.

Hi! This was my first month using OPKs. I used digitals, so no gradual darkening of the line to clue me in on what was happening. Anyway, my cycles are typically 28 / 30 days long. I started way earlier than the suggested start date bc I wanted to pee on something. :P Started on CD 8. After talking to the ladies on here, I started testing twice a day on CD 11. On CD 12, I got a Negative OPK at 6:45 pm and a Positive OPK at around 10:30 pm. On CD 13, I only got negatives. So, I totally recommend testing 2 times a day. Good luck!!!

My last cycle was 32 days and the one before that was 30, I would say I am a 29-32 day cycle person. I guess since I just looked at my ticker I am on CD 8 so I may start peeing on the stick tomorrow! If I run out I will go through amazon and order some more, they came fairly quick but I have 40 to start out with!

Ok, I am completely clueless on the EWCM, do any of you have a good link you can provide so I can educate myself on it? Its the one big aspect I am pretty clueless on, well that and cervix position.

This was my first cycle using the OPK's and I got the wondfo brand off amazon, and it came with a chart, so I followed it, I have a 28-29 day cycle, and it suggested to test on CD 10 and CD 11, so I started testing on CD 10 once a day, and got my positive on CD 12, good luck!

Thats what I was wondering, I didn't get any infromation in the box with the OP and HPT. Thank you ladies, I think I will start tomorrow and go from there!

I started testing the day I didn't have AF, just because it was my first cycle to BBT and OPK. I bought 100 of wondfo ones from amazon, so I figured I might as well use them. 

If this cycle is a bust, then I'll probably BBT from the date it tells me I should start (CD 12 for a 29 day cycle).
