I'm not sure when to test this month

My cycles seem oddly short and just plain weird. I've been keeping track of them on "mymonthlycycles.com" but after several unsuccessful months of trying based on their fertility predictions I started buying ovulation tests. So this month I used an ovulation test well after when the website had my O predicted and it showed a surge so we BD for 3 days in a row and that was last week. According to the website AF should show up on the 10th! Do I test already? or do I wait since the purported O was just last week so it hasn't been 2 weeks? make sense? I have the early response tests. When would you all test?

i would wait a min. of 2 wks after you got your LH surge if you feel you want to test early.

but my rule is--don't test till you're late...but i know many ladies can't wait that long. lol

I would wait since you think you may have Od last week. Chat Icon Chat Icon

Definitely wait.

A website it just make a calculation - it has no idea what your body is actually doing.

I don't mean to be mean but you mentioned in your other post that you had been trying for 6 months. Was that with or without the OPKs?

You really need 6 good months of perfectly timed BD around when you ovulate (based on OPKs, CBEFM, or temping). If you do that and then still are not pregnant... that would be when I'd think to see help (if you are over 35).
