  I'd start on CD 10 and test at leats once/day until you get a better idea.

  Are you temping also?

  No I'm not temping.  Still unsure if I am going to chart etc.  thought I would just go off the pill and see what happens but after reading through these posts it seems like everyone is charting, temping etc.  I'm turning 35 in April and maybe I should be doing the same?????

  I think you might find that temping actually gives you more peace of mind than not doing it. It's really the only way you can be sure that you ovulated so I would highly recommend temping and charting. You can click on my chart below to go to Fertility Friend, the tutorials are great. Welcome and good luck!

  I agree with KDG to start on CD 10 with OPK.  I enjoyed temping at the beginning so that I was confident that I was Oing and learned about my cycles.

  I agree with LilSip. I've only been charting/temping 2 cycles, but I feel like I know what to expect better than just trying to feel it out on my own which was my original plan as well. BBT thermometers are pretty inexpensive and really will help you figure out your cycle a little better! HTH!

  I agree with this. I didn't start for several months but found that it was more stressful and confusing to have no idea what was going on with my body. OPKs really help as well.
