When did I Ovulate?!

[MybabyE]

Please see my attached chart. Any insight on when I ovulated would be so helpful! FF and kindara put my temp rise on CD19 when I put watery cm in for those days. But I got a BFP on digital, cheapies and FRER on cd 25, which would be 7dpo if I did ovulate on cd 18! Any insight or possibility I ovulated cd15? In general I do o later, like around cd17-19... So confused!

MybabyE first big congrats on your bfp!! I think its possible you oed on cd16 which would make you 9dpo first recorded bfp. Can you share your ff chart as well?

Thank you! ;)

Here is my FF chart. On cd 16 I had creamy in the am and wet at night. When I put wet as my cm it puts my o date as cd18. If I put creamy, it puts o date as cd15. So confused!!

Here is when I change the cm to creamy for that day I had both.

Hmmm I'm not sure especially as I can see your bd schedule now (not overly familiar with the other one, didn't realise that's what the hearts were). I've read about bfps as early as 7dpo but its certainly not the norm. How positive was your first test? Very faint line, faint line, or moderate etc? To me cd15 is a bit of a stretch from your last bd but it certainly could be possible. I'd still be inclined to think cd16 regardless of cm as it is possible (though again not common) to get a bfp from day after o attempt.

These were my tests from cd25. Afternoon urine.

[Pbn3]

I would be absolutely shocked if you had a result like that at 7dpo lol. But you never know! I would guess that either cd15 or cd16 was o day and you were either 9 or 10dpo cd25. Congratulations again!

It's definitely possible to get a BFP at 7DPO, but super uncommon. I got mine this pregnancy at bedtime 7DPO and the lines looked like yours. I'ma little unsure of your O day though. It looks possible for 2-3 different days. LOL

[Pbn3]

I agree Bunnygirl! MybabyE maybe you'll end up with twins like Bunnygirl!

[MybabyE]

Hoping it's a single! :) this is our first!

[atomic sagebrush]

I think you Oed earlier than crosshairs.

[MybabyE]

Bunnygirl, what test did you get a BFP on 7dpo? The fact that I got a BFP on digital makes me think I just ovulated earlier...

[MybabyE]

Atomic, when do you think I oed?! I was thinking I must have oed earlier too since my tests looked the way they did.

[BunnyGirl19]

On a 10 miu SurePredict test strip from Amazon and also a First Response Early Result test. I wasn't expecting to see a positive but couldn't fight the urge to test any longer. I was a bit shocked to see it was positive. The lines were darker the next day too. This pregnancy did start out as triplets (one failed to develop past yolk sac) so that probably contributed to my numbers being higher early. I usually get early positives at 8-9DPO that are fainter than the tests you posted, so likely just an early implanter in general.

[MybabyE]

Well congrats on the twins! Were you taking anything to sway multiples?

[BunnyGirl19]

Nope. I was doing LE diet to sway pink.

[MybabyE]

Any other suggestions as to when I Oed?!

[maidentomother]

I think CD16 is by far most likely. Congrats!

[atomic sagebrush]

Somewhere between CD 14-16

[atomic sagebrush]

I think CD16 is by far most likely. Congrats!

BD times make me agree but temps I would say anywhere from 14-16

[MybabyE]

So do you think the egg caught the sperm from bding on cd10?

[Pbn3]

MybabyE I think you may have caught the egg day after o. Again not common but certainly not unheard of. IMO that seems more likely than a 6-o attempt but that too isn't unheard of.

[MybabyE]

That's interesting, pbn. But I don't think it's possible because if I did o cd16, it was in the morning because I had creamy cm by 10am. We didn't bd until cd17 at night, at least 32 hours past o.

[Pbn3]

An egg can live up to 2 days after o. Again its not the norm but is possible. In your case you have three possible dates for conception and all three are equally not the norm. Either you conceived 6-o, after o OR got a very strong pos hpt at 7dpo. Alternatively maybe your temps aren't pin pointing o accurately. Take my last cycle, ff puts me at o cd16 but from other signs I felt I had oed cd14 regardless of my temps not rising. Turns out I was right as I got af this morning right on what would have been 13dpo (I have a 12 day lp). I would find it odd if it suddenly changed to a 10 lp. But anything is possible.... so there really is no way of knowing for sure which attempt you conceived from or what your actual o day was. I can only give my opinion based on what I think after looking at your chart. Hope this helps but probably not lol.

I never knew an egg could live for up to 2 days. But if so, I guess your theory is possible! Thanks for your input! :)

[Pbn3]

Its not the norm - 12 to 24 hours is the usual time frame we are given for egg life however there is also info out there that it can live up to 48 hours. Good luck and h&h 9 months :)

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, I think you got pg from the BD on CD 10. I know it's hard to believe but it does happen.

[atomic sagebrush]

I never knew an egg could live for up to 2 days. But if so, I guess your theory is possible! Thanks for your input! :)

No, an egg cannot live for 2 days. What COULD happen is that you released two eggs one after the other so it affected your temps even though the second egg was still in play. But I think it MUCH more likely that you Oed earlier than you think and the CD 10 round hit it.

[atomic sagebrush]

Its not the norm - 12 to 24 hours is the usual time frame we are given for egg life however there is also info out there that it can live up to 48 hours. Good luck and h&h 9 months :)

519b48 Ovulation charts on FertilityFriend.com (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/519b48)

NO, you can possibly be FERTILE for up to 48 hours but that is actually a theoretical limit for people trying to use natural family planning as birth control. For those people, since you want to err on the side of not conceiving, we "pretend or imagine" that an egg can live 24 hours even though that's unlikely, and again "pretend or imagine" that a second egg could possibly be ovulated at the end of that time, and again live a hypothetical 24 hours, leaving 48 hours possible danger zone but the reality is that it's much more likely that you release one egg, then 2 hours later another, and they both live about 8-12 hours leaving a much smaller window. the 24-48 hours is meant as an "erring on the side of caution" number for people who are trying to avoid pregnancy. It was NEVER ever meant as a guide for people who are trying to conceive.

[Pbn3]

I guess I was reading wrong into the 48 hour thing. Thanks for clarifying, what you said above makes total sense. I was just giving my opinion (and that's all it was) that I thought its possible but not the norm to conceive from an attempt day after o then ended up going off track abit.

[atomic sagebrush]

PB I'm sorry I was not trying to argue with you, lots of people believe that because of the way the NFP method works. But it is meant as a margin of error to prevent pregnancy not as a guideline for people thinking "Oh that means I can BD 48 hours after O and the egg will still be alive". Just not how it works.

There's never been a confirmed pregnancy day after O. People claim they got pregnant that way but according to research it can't happen. :)

[MybabyE]

Thanks for clarifying atomic! There is so much information out there it is easy to get it confused.

I wish I knew what I day I O'ed for sure, every other month I have been tracking, I could easily see my O day based on temps and cm. I guess maybe I'll never know for sure :(

[atomic sagebrush]

:agree: totally and a lot of it has changed over time with newer better research too so it's hard to keep up with over time.

You don't need to know what day you Oed though! Remember, most people have never known that (and in fact before not so long ago no one even knew that women DID ovulate LOL) and yet there are still billions of boys and girls that have been born in this world.
