When do I pee?

[devotchka]

My ovia app says I should be getting AF on the 13th, not sure how accurate that is since I only started keeping track of my cycle last month :/ I am getting my wondfo strips in the mail today. Also I ordered a FRER kit as well and that should arrive at the same time, in theory.

Does that app estimate when you ovulated this cycle? I usually started testing 14 dpo for sanity reasons, but I know some women test earlier.

The correct answer is:

This minute and everyday thereafter until we are all either satisfied that there are two lines or AF arrives.

I try to wait until 10DPO.

I got strong positives 9DPO both times, but some like to wait longer. I know the First Response has a test that claims it can tell you 6 days before a missed period, but I'm not sure I would trust it before 5 days.

I got a positive on a wondfo at 9DPO but negative at 8DPO, so my vote is 9. Good luck!!

It usually takes 2 cycles for those apps to start to estimate well. I would start around 9dpo

DPO = days post ovulation? I am a n00b

It does give me the ovulation estimate - it ended last week, I think. My phone is in my car so I'd have to check.

Yeah I figured - last time I tracked it it wasn't perfectly regular either.

Yes, it's days past ovulation. For most people their period shows pretty close to 14 days later, that's why I waited until day 14, though many women get positive results earlier. My cycles have been wacky so I never wanted to test too early. Fingers crossed for you!

The time is now, always, when it comes to pee questions

[laurack]

I think I got my positives at 10dpo ...

[katfco]

I always waited until a couple of days after I'd missed a period.

I'm in the camp that waits to pee until AF is due so then next week. I might pee a day or two early but nothing earlier than that. I recognize that this is an the opposite of what most people on this board recommend, lol.

[devotchka]

I peed and it was negatory. Boo. Not surprised :-)

Boo! It's definitely ambitiously early, though. lol.

I might try again. Last time it was fairly faint right when I was supposed to get my period.

I'd wait until much closer to your due date so you don't stress yourself out. I have no problem waiting though and I know a lot of people do.
