Question about testing...

Just wanted to get your opinions...
When do you think I should/could start testing? Before I had my son my cycles were on average 30 days, LP being 10-12 days, normally O between 17-20 days (couple were a little later than that). The cycle I got pregnant with my son I O'd on CD 20 and got a positive test on 9 DPO. My first cycle after having him and getting AF back was 31 days LP 10 days, O'd on CD 21. Second cycle was LONG - I O'd late CD 32, then LP was 8 days for a total of 40 day long cycle. Last cycle is when I had my early m/c - O'd on CD 24, and because of the m/c LP was 16 days (got my faint positive on 13 DPO) for a length of 40 days again.
This cycle I O'd on CD 21. FF is saying based on all my past data (I assume including my charts before I got pregnant with my son) I should wait until 14 DPO to test. I am at 7 DPO today. Does that sound reasonable? I so want to start testing at 10 DPO but am so nervous to (got some HPT"s at dollar tree today and have a couple digital's of CVS's own brand for whenever the time comes for needing confirmation). There is something definitely going on this cycle because of everything I'm feeling and having going on but I guess after last cycle just kind of nervous.
So, your thoughts - when do you think it would be okay to start testing? How is my chart looking to you ladies (link in siggy)?
Thanks in advance for any advice or anything you can give :-) I appreciate it!






Since you have inexpensive tests I would probably start at 10 dpo if I were you.
Thanks for your reply :-)
I'm going to probably test Saturday morning - that'll put me at 10DPO. Been feeling totally tired today and was exhausted last night and had a pounding headache (was in bed by 9:30!) and woke up with the headache today, kind of gone now, but still tired. Ah well. The fun of the waiting and anticipating/reading into all the symptoms!
Thanks again!
