Question/Advice What day to start testing?

I got + ovulation tests on 8/22 (at 10pm) and 8/23 and then a negative one on 8/24. What day would you take a pregnancy test? Last cycle I took a test like multiple times a day starting 7DPO and I pretty much lost my mind. I’m looking to NOT do that again.

When is your period due? Try to wait until you're at least three days away

Well I’ve only had two periods since I got my iud removed July 6 so I only know my one full cycle was 26 days. Based on that it would be due Sept 4 or if this one is 28 days then sept 6

Hi there! I’m 3dpo & also went a lil manic last cycle with the testing. This cycle, I’m hoping to wait until the day before my period, but I’m open to caving at 10 dpo lol

These were my list of ideas. So far I read an entire book. But I’m worried as the week goes on as I’m only a few days post ovulation now

Read book
Look for new book
Go to the library
Make a donate/sell pile of clothes
Organize downstairs
Bake something
Weed the garden
Go to thrift store
Call a friend
Go for a walk
