I have a very irregular cycle and can't
depend on the calendars. The best thing
to do would be to use ovulation
predictors. That is really the best way
to see when you are ovulating.

Another thing you can try is to get a
basal body temperature (bbt) thermometer
to check your waking temp each morning.
This will give you a good picture of what
your cycle is doing month to month. You
can get a thermometer at walmart for
like$7 and then you can go to
fertilityfriend.com and begin charting.
That along with ovulation predictors can
be very helpful in letting you know when
you are ovulating.
Let me know if you need more info in
regards to charting your temps. I have
been doing it since march and feel like Im
a pro at it now

Can you take the test anytime of the month
or what? How does that work? Sorry I so
clueless.

Are your cycles really long? Mine will go
anywhere from 33-45+ days. I start
testing at cycle day 10 until I ovulate.
It can get expensive with ovulation
predictors so I use the Answer brand
strips that have 20 in a pack. Just
remember to test between 12-2pm and the
line should be as dark or darker than the
control line for it to be a +. Good luck!

Mine goes anywhere from 31-37 days. So
when you say cycle day 10, is that 10 days
from the first day of your last period?
Where do u find the Answer brand at?

Yes that would be the 10th day of your
cycle. The 10th day starting with the
first day of your period. Im not sure
where you get the answer brand. I usually
buy the internet cheapies from ebay.
