This has always confused me when ppl say I got pregnant with a 4 or 5 day cut off and the ultrasound proved it - how do you know? How does the ultrasound confirm when the egg implanted in relation to ovulation and Dtd?
I hope my question makes sense lol
I see it a lot and don’t know how ppl can work this out from an ultrasound?
I couldn’t even work out ovulation from scans let alone cut offs

I think they mean an ultrasound to confirm ovulation. Like, they were having ultrasounds to watch for and confirm ovulation, and a u/s can confirm that you have ovulated. I think they can see the ruptured follicle or whatever it is, on which side you have ovulated? Then of course they know when the last time BD was, in relation to the confirmed ovulation on ultrasound, which would mean they have confirmation of a “x number of days cutoff.” I hope that makes sense lol!

Most of the time they are unintentionally fibbing as in "I had an ultrasound and the doctor said the baby was 6 weeks and 4 days so this meant I got pregnant with a 10 day cutoff" - well, that is usually unreliable and so you should take it with a big grain of salt (although when someone is skilled at determining ovulation anyway and then they ADDITIONALLY have an ultrasound confirming gestation to be the exact day they thought they'd ovulated, I do take that seriously and in fact I used this myself, I was pretty sure when I Oed and then my measurement was spot on the day I thought I had ovulated.)
But some other people do in fact have ultrasounds that tell them when the egg is released from the ovary. this is the minority of people, though. So keep in the back of your mind that most of the time when people say "ovulation confirmed by ultrasound" they are going off of a doctor or tech's measurement and NOT an ultrasound actually pinning down O.
Thanks ladies, makes a lot more sense now!
Hiw do you work out ovulation based on measurement. I thought the measurement was from your last cycle.
So if the last cycle was 6 weeks ago and you measure 6 weeks 4 days how do you know when ovulation was?

They measure how developed the baby is and figure it out based on that (not when your cycle was but the actual size and development of the baby). It is not a very precise way to do it.
I think also that once an egg has popped out it could still take a few days for it to let a swimmer in couldnt it as it doesnt just let the first one in, so actual conception could be however many hours after release.
Eggs don't live that long. They are either fertilized within 12ish hours (24, theoretically, although it's much likelier the window is more like 8-12 or even less) or they die. There are no eggs that are ovulated, hang around for a bit, and then are fertilized several days later.Quote:
