When Should I Start OPKs?
I bought Answer OPKs since there are 20 of them instead of 7. The directions say:
<35 days- start day after period ends
>35 days- start 3 days after period ends
So my last 3 cycles were 49, 34 and 36 days long.
Today is CD8. Last cycle BW indicated I Od between CD25 and CD27.
When should I start them?

I'd probably start around CD 15-17 (up to you).
Just a warning, those Answer OPKs are notorious for giving multiple days of +OPKs (meaning 3+)

I'd do every day once you get the +OPK.

Okay! Maybe that's been my mistake for the last year, lol, I should have been doing it every day and not every other day! DH will be happy to hear that!

Just so you know---First Response just came out with a 20 pack of OPKs instead of the normal 7 -- so maybe they might be more reliable than the Answer OPKs. Plus you can get a coupon off their site for $2.00 off!

Thanks!!!
I already opened this box, so if it doesn't happen this month I'll definitely get the FR OPKs next month!

Also, Walmart has SUPER cheap prices for OPKs and HPTs.
I've gotten a 4 pack of FRERs (3 line tests + 1 digital) and a 3-pack of Equate brand all for <$25!
