Bought an Ovulation Kit last night...
and it was like reading greek to me, I have no idea what it means and when to start...can anyone help me with this? It is the Clear Blue Easy Digital Ovulation Test. It came with 5 sticks and I am not sure when to start it. I am due for AF on the 21st, I should wait till next month to start?

Yes, DEFINITELY wait until your next cycle to start.
I never used the digitals - so i'll let someone else chime in...but wanted to answer what i could.

What are you confused about?
Basically, you need to figure out how long your cycles usually are. If you give me the dates of your last 6 AFs I can figure that out for you.
Then you want to start using the OPKs on whatever date is indicated for you on the instructions based on your cycle length.
The box should come with 7, not 5, sticks.
You want to hold your urine for 4 hours and test sometime between 2 and 8 pm.

Re: Bought an Ovulation Kit last night...
It is the digital one, I don't have my last 6 AF tracked. I know that I had my last AF on Tuesday the 21st of October it came late at night and it lasted till Friday night, nothing on Saturday...unfortunately I didn't track in September. Oh and it is 7 sticks i'm sorry!!!

Do you know how long your cycles usually are?
Like how do you know when to expect AF?

Re: Bought an Ovulation Kit last night...
Lately they haven't been so regular with the wedding and all it was a little off...do I start counting my cycle from the first full day of AF to the first day of my next AF? Would I count the 21st since it was late at night?

yea i would count the 21st as CD1..
so today would be CD23.. you might have missed your O.. but that all depends on your cycles..
CD1 is first day of Full force AF
i would start using the kits at CD8 since you are not sure of your cycles
