Opks.. Haven't used them for 6 years.. Help!

[linxminx21]

I haven't used opks since I was trying for my daughter who is nearly 6 so I'm a little rusty.
Cycles are pretty regular bar a day or two so can kind of pin point ov.
Not as in tune with my body as I used to be so it's all new again... Kinda like having a baby after a 6 year break (why oh why do I leave it so long lol)
Anyway my cycle length over the last months (going from most recent) are : 27, 27, 30, 30, 31, 30,
Unsure on ov but I think I have about a 13 to 14 day lp.

What cycle day would you recommend I start opks please?
Any info no matter how small would be fab thankyou x x x

All the stuff I've read says start on day 10 so that's what I did. When we conceived our son we tried the Sperm meets egg plan and bam pregnant during that first cycle. After 18 months of trying! So when we start trying again then I'll do that again. X

Ohh yeah I read about that. May have to do some more reading up on it. Thankyou for responding x x

Start on cd10
Also, use the cheap strip opks.
If you want to confirm for sure you could use a better brand on the day you get the darkest cheapy but I don't bother with anything but cheap opks, they do the job just fine.
Good luck xx

Yeah Iv ordered 30 and 5 hpt so iv got enough for this cycle I think.
I used the cheap ones last time and they did the trick just fine.
Thankyou for your responses x x x

Ladies, I don't know how old any of you are, but remember it's not uncommon to ovulate twice in a cycle as you get older. I just got my bfp after a pisitive opk on cd8 and ovulating on cd9. Second time in three months I ovulated that early and the first month that I did, I ovulated again on cd 17.

If you get the cheapie opk's off the internet, you could use them as a base point and just use better ones when the cheapies start going darker?

Good luck xxx

I'm 28 nearly 29. I might start when the bleeding stops then. As I wouldn't be while it's still there so no point in testing then.
Yeah I got 30 cheapie for 3 quid. There all I used last time and worked well for me. I think it's just a case of experimenting with them and finding one for you. I don't expect to fall fast as Iv been on no protection what so ever for 6 yrs just following my cycle patten on a cheap period tracker to try and avoid ov.
So I imagine I'll be needing a few lots of these tests x
Thanx for responding and congrats on the bfp Iv been silently following you gg x x
