Question

When to start opk?

This is my 1st cycle I will be trying opks. I am currently 3dpo according to my period tracker app...but i had watery milky CM today that could indicate me getting ready for O. I'm just a little confused...is 3dpo to late to begin using OPK should i just wait until my next cylce if i don't get preg. This cycle? Thoughts....thanks

I would save ur tests for next cycle. Becuz u don't know for sure that ur 3dpo, u'd be wasting them, A) becuz u can have LH surges at any point in a cycle, even after O has taken place and B) if u do get a positive, u wont know if its for O or just a regular surge that happens in the LP anyways. I would bd until ur a little more sure of O or AF arrives/BFP, but save the tests and start fresh next cycle. Consider temping too cuz OPK's don't confirm that O has actually taken place, only that u may attempt it.
Good luck! =))
