OPK help

My SO and I are on our 3rd cycle of TTC # 2 (he is not the bio father of my 1st DS), anyway, the first two cycles were unsucessful (obviously), so this month ive decided to try OPK's, but i dont have a clue when to start using them. I'm on my 3rd day of AF right now and she should be leaving in the next day or so. So my question is, what CD do i start testing for ovulation? I have a normal 28 day cycle, AF is like clockwork, though from what i've read i know that dosent mean i ovulate on the same day, or at all. I'm thinking i dont because we BD on all the right days according to the ovulation calender last month and no baby :( So any help with this would be appreciated....also if i decide to start charting temps, would it be to late to start doing so?

OPK's can be tricky. Sometimes they don't work. It took me 3 cycles of them to finally get a reading. I usually started around day 7. I always used 2 packs just in case I O'd late. You also usually take them in the evening. After 2:30.
