TTC question

[TJBezz]

is it possible to fall pregnant after DTD on day 2-4 after AF ends ? :think:

[bluebonnet22]

Yes, for sure.

[maidentomother]

Yes and I have personally gotten pg this way.

[XXforhubby]

Yep. DS1 is proof! Although we DTD a lot more during that cycle. The US and his measurements indicated I Oed CD5-6 and we DTD CD3 and 5! They would have moved up my due date more if they could have but AF and BDing prevented that!!

I hope things work out for you!

Wow early ovulators, I am so envious!

Heh I guess I'd better start doing those OPK's sooner rather than later. I don't know how y'all BD on CD3 though, gosh, isn't it....messy? I mean no way for me, AF is pretty heavy for me until CD4 at least.

My flow is pretty light on CD3, but SUPER heavy CD1-2. My spotting before AF turns heavy fairly quickly. AF usually lasts 4-5 days with light flow to spitting on CD4-5.

I normally O CD8-14 with CD10-12 being when I O the most. Rarely do I O that early, but I did with DS1. DS2 I think I had a false surge it geared up to O but didn't. I had to have Oed late with him, because I didn't get a positive test until 21DPO!

CD 2-4 or 2-4 days after AF ends?

The first option, not likely, the second, I have done at least one time so I know that's possible!!

I have (thankfully) 2 day AF in many months. Never more than 4 and the 4th day is usually really light.

Gaaaaah I'm so jealous!!!

Though for me I wouldn't want my AF to start getting lighter. I would worry that there was something wrong with my lining then!! As it is my current AF pattern of 2 heavy days, then 2 medium days then 1-2 days of light/spotting is already a lot lighter than when I was much younger. I used to have AF for a week!

If you ovulate early enough it is for sure possible. To my knowledge I don't ovulate that early but lots of women do!

This is possible but is obviouly isn't the norm by any means - sometimes people will have a couple days of flow of something called "serous fluid" which is the clear component of blood, before AF begins. It may still be classed by your body as AF flow though even though the red portion of the lining doesn't start to come off for a couple days after that. the lining can start to regrow even as the old lining comes off, so if a person had a couple days of fluid, then bled for a few days after that they may have been misled into thinking they were earlier in the cycle than they really were and could get pg even on what appeared to be CD 5-6 range.

It was much more "normal" in length before I had my first - 5 and even up to 7 days sometimes. (no fun either LOL) I do get the question several times a week people panicking that their cycle is only 2-3 days but there is nothing wrong with the lining, you can get pg with a really short AF! I got my daughter the month following two super light AFs that were only like one day of flow and then a bit of spotting.
:agree: I get that question several times a week

[TJBezz]

i have no idea when i ovulated as im not keeping track, but i did have a baby 6 months ago so i'm not sure that makes me even more fertile. i'll be testing tomorrow morning
i have been feeling off since AF ended and i've cramped ever since

[HealthyGirl]

When is it ideal to start using OPKs? I assumed starting CD 8 and forward but now I'm double guessing myself.

Yes I think that's a fine time to start. Most people will be able to see negative fading into positive.
