Okay...this could get kind of confusing...please respond if you can offer any help!

I counted that I would ovulate on 7/9 this month, but out of curiousity on 7/12 I took an OPK and it was +. (well, line was almost as dark as the control). So, would I still test + 3dpo with an OPK? Anybody know? The real question, though, is this...if AFNW is due on 7/23, but I didn't ovulate until 7/12, how in the heck to I know when to test???? I mean, if AFNW isn't here on the 23rd but I O'ed on the 12th, I'm only 11dpo. Would an HPT show positive that soon??????? I'm so confused!!!!!!!!!!! And, no, I haven't been charting...this is our first month TTC, but I will probably start soon! Thanks in advance for any advice you might have!

You should start using the OPK at least 5 days before your expected O arrives. I would assume from reading what you typed below that you probably O'd on 12th or 13th. You need to wait until 14 DPO to get a positive PG test. The only thing I suggest you do from now on if you test BFN is start your OPK earlier next cycle. How did you know you O'd on the 9th? Some people O later than the normal 14 days~

I hope I helped a little.
