 Topic: Confused - please help!!!
Posted: 29 January 2007 at 6:48pm |
Hi
I'm a bit confused.....
My DH and I have been trying for 3 months now. My cycle is normally a very regular 28 days. However I ovulated early this month (day 12), so do I still rely on my 28 day timetable, or do I work out 14 days from date of ovulation to know when my AF is due? The thing is, if I work on my 28 day cycle, my AF is due tomorrow. However, if I work on 14 days after ovulation, then AF was due last Saturday.
I haven't done a test yet because I've been reading how a lot of you didn't get a positive until 3 days after AF was due....so what date should I use??
By the way, sorry for not using all the abbreviations - I haven't got the hang of them yet!

It's a tricky one because some people get a BFP (positive) on the day they were due and others don't get one until a week later. I'd let tomorrow ride and test the following morning.

it really depends to be honest, you could just have a longer luteal phase this month by the 2 days, so I would try and wait to test till tomorrow to test. As for tests not working till 3 days after you are due, that depends on you, some women don't, I did a test 3 days before I was due and got a faint positive.

it can vary so much as to when you get your BFP. with jack, i tested the day before AF and got BFN, waited 2wks and then got BFP. with charli, i tested the day after AF was due and got a faint BFP 
i'd also wait til tomorrow to test......good luck!

Typically you are spose to do 14 days after ovulation. Luetal phases can vary like Sarah Beth said but i would say that your offically late esp if u have a clockwork luetal phase  Good luck

I've been told by the doc that the post-ovulatory phase of a cycle doesn't normally vary much in length - if your cycle length varies, it's usually in the first half - i.e. if you're normally 28 days, but this time ovulated 2 days early, then AF should be 2 days early.
hope that helps!

Some tests can pick up BFP 10 days post conception. I got this with both Kobe and the twins, with addison though it wasnt until about 3 days late that it finally came up positive.
Good luck.

My cycle varied by up to 5 days but it was always the first part- my luteal phase was always 12 days, like clockwork. Each person is different though! Good luck with testing tomorrow
