So now that I have my test strips when do I start testing! I am on day 2 of af today and it lasts about 3-4 days…

Start testing on cd8. It's unlikely that you'll ovulate that early , but it's just so you get an idea of when it happens for you, and for u to get used to your cycle. Once you track for a few months, u can cut the early testing as you'll know your cycle better.

Test once a day, between 2 and 8 pm, as that's when surges are usually caught because even though lh is always in your system , it isn't emitted through urine stream until later in the day, so never use first morning urine unless you're using clearblue, as it detects a dual hormone that is found in fmu.

When u notice your lines start getting darker, then start testing multiple times a day just so you don't miss your surge, 4 hours in between test time is good. I always did at 2 and at 6. And if I needed to try a third time, at 10. When the lines are equal in color, or if the test line is darker than the control line, the test is considered positive !! Once u get your positive, ovulation will occur 12 to 48 hours later.

You may have several days of positives, but it's the first one that u go off of and that's the one that truly matters the most!! But if you're like me , you'll probably want to continue testing until your lines fade back to negative, mine always stayed positive for 2 to 3 days before going negative. Technically, it isn't necessary to do that it just made me feel better lol u can actually stop testing after that first positive. Anyways, hope this helped, good luck.

If you aren't temping , you count the day after your first positive as ovulation day, then the day after that would be 1dpo.

Baby dance today and definitely tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is beneficial as well.
