When do I stop testing..
I've been testing with OPKs since CD10 and today was CD20, still negative.
(most of you probably already know this but.. first cycle off pill.. waiting to O)
So... do I just keep testing?  What if I just DON'T O and it's like CD 40

Well, I'm temping (which are so sporatic, it just makes no sense to me..... one day up, two days down.... etc)
and I'm checking CM but that too has a mind of it's own. I also have a hard time differentiating between CM and 'leftovers'  so in that regard, I have mostly given up and go based on temping and OPK

Re: When do I stop testing..
My first cycle off of the pill, I tested everyday until CD 43 and then I got my period. I really dont think I O'd my first month off (sorry)
Then right after AF was done, I tested twice a day for my second cycle--once in the morning and once around 6 ish. I didnt get my positive until CD 28 and CD 29. I also tested on CD 30 and that is when the OPK went back to negative and I stopped. We BD's CD 28, 29, and 30 took one day off and then BD'd again CD 32 and 33. I got a BFP on CD 44.
So even though I know it is totally frustrating, I would continue to keep testing because you want to know if you are O'ing or not. Good luck!!
ps---that is why I only used dollar store OPK's since I went through so many!!!!

Just make sure you're temping at the same time each day. Temping is a great way to pinpoint O, but only if its consistent.
Check out the "beautiful cervix project" to see pics of EWCM. It's a little graphic, but you'll never be confused again

Re: When do I stop testing..
I would keep testing............you could ovulate really late. I don't ovulate until CD-22-24. Things may be a little wacky since you just went off the pill so I would give it some more time and keep testing.

Re: When do I stop testing..
Not to disappoint you or anything but it might take you a few cycles to start "o"ing again...you should def. look for CM too...Hang in there!

Re: When do I stop testing..
i agree with PP - it just might take a few cycles to O
the most important thing is BD - maybe you O and the OPK and temps dont show it but at least you'd be covered if you tried to BD as much as you can

Re: When do I stop testing..
Thank you SO much everyone!! I'm using the dollar tree tests, so I'm gonna keep testing ....... It's not a huge loss since they're so cheap and if I ever do get a surge, it will all be worth it! 
I can't wait to make a very enthusiastic "I GOT MY SMILEY" post 
Till then... still waiting
