  • Check the package insert that came with the OPK because it is dependent on your cycle length (I think). The ones I bought told me to start the day after my period ended based on my average cycle.

    I read it but i have pretty irregular cycles. Sometimes 20 days sometimes 26my sometimes 32... its stupid
  • Thanks guys for the general idea... between my irregularness anywhere between cd 5and and 15 i guess depending how long my cycle was from the last one.

    This. It depends on your cycle - I start testing around CD10, and I continue to test until they are negative again.

     

    I sleep with them under my pillow.  I hear they're more accurate that way.
