I bought a 50 pack on amazon and it was only like $15. Maybe test once/week just to be sure?

If you are a compulsive tester like I was in your situation, buy them on Amazon. At least then they are cheap!! I think it all depends on how zen you can be. When you're not really trying yet, you can probably just test at the end of every month or something. I'll warn you that once you start really trying, it can get maddening to not have a clue when things are happening in your cycle. Hopefully yours will settle down and even out and shorten at some point.

You could temp just to confirm when you've ovulated, but you may also not be ovulating yet. In my longest cycles post bc pills, I didn't ovulate.

Happy to answer any questions you might have. I had a hell of a time finding info about long cycles when we started TTC.

You can buy mass quantities on Amazon for cheap. If I were you, I would buy a ton and test often.

I started temping only because my cycles were all over the place and it was nice to (sort of) know what was going on with my cycle based on the temps. I am not TTC yet but it is nice to have more awareness and not obsess over possibly being pregnant every time my cycle was longer than I expected.

I was paranoid about getting pregnant with my iud since I didn't get periods most of the time. I stocked up on cheap tests and if I ever felt off, knew I was going to drink a lot or going to the dentist/doctor I would test. I think in your position that would be my plan too, maybe once every other week? More than that would drive me insane!
