How far into your cycle do you start using ovulation tests ?

I bought cheapies online and I'm on day 3 of my cycle . I dunno when to start testing from . I have enough to test everyday .

Thanks

Depends on how long your cycles are. If they're regular 28 days, I'd start on CD9 once per day in the afternoon then on CD12 twice per day until you get your surge. I always save mine and tape them to a piece of paper, so when I see the line progressively getting darker I know it's time to test more than once a day and I know when I'm about to surge.

I have very short cycles and ovulate around cd7-cd9 so I test from cd5

It's between 26 and 28 it's not totally regular . So I might start shortly to be on the safe side . Thanks

Best idea, it can't do any harm

If you're not sure when you O, I'd say start asap. I had 33-35 day cycles before I fell pregnant so this time round I was testing from cd16 on and missing o. I actually Od around cd13 then lol. Now I have 23 day cycles and o on cd6. So I still have a long LP.
