I saw you responded to your "Coming off BCP" post below but wanted to make sure you saw my response.
I used the Walgreens Ovulation Predictor Strips last month. Since I had no idea what to expect for a cycle I bought the strips - b/c they are cheaper and you get more of them in a box.. I tested from CD 8 - 16.... Got a postivie on Day 13. the only thing that confused me was that I got 3 additional positives after that. However I did some reading and it said you can easily get more - but to only pay attn to the first one you get. I looked for other symptoms as well and am almost positive I OD'ed on day 13...
I wasn't trying to get preggo this month - just trying to geta handle on my cycle - since I had been on the pill for 11 years! UGH!
So glad I have someone else to go through this with. Good luck!

I use the CVS brand OPKs. I don't test until around day 11. I test first thing in the morning until around day 14. From there I test twice a day...last month I took an OPK around 7:00 AM...it was negative. I took a test at 8:00 that night and it was positive. It stayed positive for a day and a half.
I downloaded the Fertility Friend app on my cell phone, too. It documents the OPK tests and how often/when we had sex. It tells me when I'm fertile, when I ovulated, etc. I love it!
