DPO and AF questions....

Hey all...Im very new to this site, and have been ttc for about 8 months following an ectopic pregnancy in Dec 08.  Though I have been ttc for 8 months, Im new to actually tracking stuff. I have been using OPKs and finally got a + on June 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th.  Double dark dark lines.  I bd'd lots and lots.  My LMP was may 25th, with cycles around 25-26 days.  My question is...since the +'s on the OPKs lasted for 4 days, and I have no clue how long my lutel (sp?) phase is, when do you think that I should expect my AF and when would be a good time to start testing?  I have also heard the the lutel phase is the exact same for a woman every month, but with so many + on the tests what day do I start to track from the + to the AF to determine this phase timing, do I just go with my first + even if I dont know if it was my first surge day, just the first day I tried to test and happened to get a +?

Any info or suggestions would be greatly apperciated!
Thanks in advance and lots of BABY DUST to all!!

I'd test 14 days from your last positive opk if you don't have AF by then.  You might want to check out a site called Fertility Friend and start using a basal body thermometer to take your temps in the morning...it will pinpoint your ovulation better than opks OR at least confirm your opks.  Good luck!

I really wish I could help you but even though I'm on pregnancy #7 I know very little about the charting and stuff.  I never did any of that.  I do want to say GOOD LUCK and hope you get your BFP soon!!!

ur not far from me. My lmp was 5/23-5/25! But i'm still trying to figure out what to say that would make sense! hahaha. Yeah i'm having one of those days.
But until then maybe someone can help you in the mean time.
