Hi ladies, I'm kinda new to this whole charting thing and could use some advice on when to test. I only chart days not temps (not sure how to chart temps and what it means) I know I O'd on 3/24. Any advice you can offer would be appriciated!! Thank you for your time!

Well Oing on the 24th makes you 10 dpo which is the earliest you want to test. So you could test but you have a higher chance of getting false negative.


When is AF due? The early response tests let you test 4 days before your period but remember even those are not that accurate that early.


After your missed period is the ideal time to test for accurate results.

Thanks so much for responding. Even though I am 10 dpo my cycle is between 33-35 days!!! Does the length of your cycle matter or is it purley based on dpo? I'm sorry if this is confusing lol!!

Testing depends on dpo not the total cycle length.

This is whats odd my LP is 24 days!!! This seems a little long however I'm sure of my O date. You will have to forgive me I'm not sure what cd means. I'm gonna take a guess and assume it means fertility med. if thats what it means I am not on anything at this point. My doc. is making me wait two more months before he will try meds :(
