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!Chat Icon 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!

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!
