When to test?!

Ashley

Hi everyone!

So I’ve been using OPK strips for 2 cycles now. Still new to it! Anyway, last Sunday 1/23 I had a “slight positive” OPK -it was almost as dark as the control. Monday morning it was positive.

Now I know this essentially means you could ovulate in the next 12-24-48hr, is that right?

So that being said, how do I actually know when to start testing? How does one know when they actually ovulated, as far as counting DPO? To know when to start testing..

There was one day I had a little bit of left sided ovary area pain..I’m annoyed I didn’t write the date down…this doesn’t happen every cycle either. I was hoping/wondering if it was “ovulation cramping”?

Sorry for such the long rant..thank you for any input!!

I did take a test yesterday and it was negative.

But I need to detect a positive asap so I can begin oral Progesterone.
