    My bfp and dtd do not seem to line up with o???? One attempt and logged everything haha

    Is there ANY conceivable way to determine ovulation after the fact when a bfp results?

    One attempt and I’m certain I surely must have ovulated late as my first positive opk was 57 hours before we had our attempt. But if inovualted late how did I get my bfp as early as I did?

    My cm was dry, to the point of chaffing him OUCH!

    But what’s bugging me is how early I got a BFP

    Seems like the predicted O date should be right is I managed a super early bfp and if I ovulated later then how would the test have picked up Hcg?

    Wednesday 2pm ish positive opk
    Weds night pos opk
    Thursday morning (cramping) pos opk
    Thursday night pos opk
    Friday morning starting to fade opk and neg by afternoon
    Dry cm
    Friday night 11:30pm dtd.
    Saturday dry neg opk
    Sunday: dry am - thick snot like yellow cm in afternoon and evening was creamy
    Sunday was CD23

    Now what interests me is that we got a positive pregnancy test on CD30 (faint but there) and we dtd on CD 21 or 22 depending on how you calculate time of day it was right before midnight lol

    What’s the best guess on ovulation? Not that it matters much but it’s interesting to me.

    Did we get our one attempt in post ovulation?

    Thanks for our time!

    If day, I actually ovulated on Sunday... that means I’d have gotten my first faint bfp 7dpo? Is it even possible to have hcg that early?

    Sunday was the day I had the yellow globby gelatinous ick that was somewhat stretchy but definitely thick (I did not think it fertile for even one iota lol)

    It sounds like ovulation was likely on Friday or Saturday based on your OPKs and CM. Not an exact science though and I could be wrong. That means you probably got a BFP on 8 or 9dpo which is early but totally possible. I tend to get faint positives that early.

    I’m suspecting it was Saturday

    That yellow cm Sunday I bet was leftover blood tinged cm from ovulation it was very yellow

    No, without an ultrasound there is no way to tell when you ovulated.

    You can get a positive pregnancy test 7-8 days after ovulation (and it's not even unusual for that to happen)

    You can't tell when you ovulated based on how long your OPK were positive or how long after your first OPK you BD. They're very imprecise things, unfortunately, and it's all about averages and typical occurances. So we can't know if your OPK was detecting a surge before your body was or if your body just took its own sweet time in ovulation after the surge or what. It's even possible that the egg stayed alive some number of hours after ovulation so you'd already Oed late and happened to be lucky enough to catch the egg after the fact. Any of these things could be true and we just can't know.

    That makes sense!

    Anyway you slice it, I got pregnant with one attempt and I’m praying it worked for a girl!

    Thanks!!
