When did I Ovulate?!

[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.

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!

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

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

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.

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.

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.
