Ok, so by now you all know that tomorrow it's been 7 weeks since my m/c and I STILL haven't had my AF.

You may also know that last Thursday (12th) we DTD, I kept it in (my temp was low that day) and Friday(the 13th) my temp rose and has still been high.

SOOO -- I'm wondering if when I get my OPK's in this week w/the testers can I test, or should I wait longer?

:-) Thanks!!

Well there's probably no point in using the OPS's until after AF arrives. If you think you DTD in time for ovulation, I'd test in a couple of weeks. Good luck!

Yep, I agree with Kimberley (which is smart anyway, 'cause she's one of our resident experts on all things TTC!)...if you've already O'd then using OPKs now is a waste...if AF doesn't show in a couple of weeks, just go straight to the HPTs! Otherwise, once AF shows...then OPKs will be useful. Do you chart at all? or just use OPKs?

I think you should wait until you're at least 10DPO before testing.

Oh thanks! And, I think I was confusing -- I didn't mean I would start the kit, I was just talking about one of the testers in there -- This is the first time I'm doing a kit so of course, I haven't seen what I'll need to do and all that. I will wait though :-)

I may be reading this wrong...Are there kits that have OPKs AND HPTS?!?!?! That would be like the ultimate POAS addict's dream come true. Open a box and POAS (or for those of you who use a cup) PIAC alllll month long!!! Wowsa!

Jae - Keep taking your temp. How much did it go up? I think it needs to stay elevated at least three days, with an increase of about .3-.4 degrees, right? (Someone can certainly correct me if I'm wrong). And, if you see a dip (which I never had, not all pgs do) then test a few days after that! I hope you get that BFP. KUP!

A friend of mine sent me this webpage that had a kit for 25 ovulations sticks and 10 pregnancy test for like $25. She used them with her pregnancy now. I ordered mine and should get it this week. http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/

My temps have been like this:
Wed: 97.2
Thurs: 97.4
Fri: 98.1
Sat: 98.1
Sun: 98.2
Mon: 98.1
