DPO, late O, short cycle, when to test
OK, so I was just checking my calender...see if you can follow me. My cycle was only 26 days. I got AF on Oct 17th and O'ed 15 days after AF...so my question is...I am only going to be like 6DPO when it is like 4 days before AF. How do the preg tests work if they say you can test 4 or 5 days before AF, but that would put me so early as far as DPO goes...Does this make ANY sense, i can't seem to figure it out???
Latrice, thanks, sorry my dates were so confusing. so you tested at 2DPO LOL!! that is classic, I tested at 4 once...hee hee!
I have SO many test here between the $store ones and the ones that came with the pre-seed, I may just start testing for shi--s and giggles!
nunu- HI!!
GMB- I hear you when you have too much info...like today I had bleeding gums, which is a symptom, yet also a symptom of the new toothbrush I bought last week LOL!
I really am having AF cramps already though :( but I still have a little tiny bit of hope! When are you due for AF and when are you testing?

maybe they are pregnancy boobs dani!!! i know im so freakn confused..the more u know...ugh!!! and i shuld start temping..but i dont have the capacity tolearn that right now! maybe next month if af comes
Yep, way too early to test, but I think I started at 7DPO last month. Hang in there, there is nothing to but wait and curse the NECOT!!
Ok, those dates are much better. If you are a peoonastick-aholic some women test at 7dpo, ive seen bfp at 8dpo with a frer hpt. Ive tested as early as 2dpo b4 lol. My last pregnancy i got a faint positive at 8dpo with a dollar tree test.
So you are 4dpo today. Sending you much baby dust.

OK, I have my calender here now...maybe I had my dates wrong...
Last AF Oct.27
LH surge- Nov. 9
O on 10th?
That would make AF due the 22
which would make 5 days before AF is due on DPO 7?
but last month I got an early period, they are varied and earlier than they used to be.
But if these days are correct I am OK as far as the Lutel phase dates go, but still way too early to take the early tests???
why is this so hard!
GMB- since my abortion due to abnormailites (baby would never have lived, but could have grown for months longer) that was April 22. Since then AF have been anywhere from 26 days to 29 days, they used to be a lot longer! Oh, GM I am getting AF boobs today anyway :(

I'm so confused about my own cycle right now! Being the POAS addict that I am I just started testing at the earliest I thought possible...One day I will get that suprise BFP and all of those test will have been worth it!
as for the HPT im sure it needs to be at least 11-14 days after O that hCG wold show up on a test. it needs time to build up enough to show.
how long is you cycle usually again? you may be having a longer cycle this month than you did last month and that is why you o'd on CD15
did you O on the 31st? that would make it CD15.
if you got AF on the 17th Oct and O'ed 15 days later (15 days from start of AF) that means you would have O'ed on the 31st Oct and that would make you on CD29 right now.
this doesn't make sense as I am thinking you only O'ed last week or begining of this week? do you have your AF start date correct?
if you did get AF on the 17th Oct and only O'ed a week ago like I am thinking then you are either going to have a much longer cycle or as Latrice said your luteal phase is off.
check your dates and get back to us!!!!!! now im curios!!!!!

also, if you ovulate late, your cycle will be late to. Ovulation determines when your cycle will start
i also wanted to add, if you will b 6DPO 4 days b4 AF, that means you have a Luteal Phase defect/disorder. After ovulation a woman is suppose to have a 12-14 day L.Phase.
I copy n past some info, but im still waitin on your reply bcuz im not sure of your actual Ovulation date.
A luteal phase is the time in a woman’s cycle between ovulation and menstruation. In a pregnant woman, during the luteal phase the fertilized egg will travel from the fallopian tube and into the uterus for implantation. The luteal phase is normally 14 days long and on an average it can be anywhere from 10 to 17 days long. If your luteal phase lasts anything under 10 days it is considered a luteal phase defect. But some doctors believe that if the luteal phase falls under 12 days, then it is a problem. If you conceive and you have a luteal phase defect, you will have an early miscarriage.
A luteal phase defect cannot sustain a pregnancy because the uterine lining in these women begins to break down, bringing on the menstrual bleeding and causing an early miscarriage. There could be more than one reason for the luteal phase defect which can be found out after medical analysis. Going by statistics, the number one reason for a luteal phase defect is low progesterone levels. Your doctor can do a progesterone test on you 7 days past ovulation to determine exactly how deficient you are. Once you know that there are several ways of correcting this defect.

Ok im confused. What day did you ovulate on, Taking the info you gave your cycle was the 17th and you ovulated 15days after the cycle stopped or are you countiing like CD15 you ovulated. Bcuz if you are 6DPO im assuming you are not using the CD bcuz from the info you gave you should be like 13DPO
First day on your cycle is CD1 and you keep counting all the way until you ovulate which would be CD15. My cyle also started on the 17th of october and i ovulated on the 1st of november which would be CD16 for me
