Timing and OPKs

D
Hi all! So I've never done opk but I've been charting for over two years, I used it as my form of birth control. Now that we're TTC I'm a little confused about ovulation pain and temp peaks, because I usually have pain for a day or two during my EWCM and then my temp peak happens and the pain and EWCM go away. Soooo that being said, should we be DTD around the time I have the pain, or before? I'm not sure if the pain means it's too late?
Also are OPKs worth it? Maybe they'll help clear up the confusion for me?
Where can I get the cheap ones?? :)
