How many DPO is reasonable to POAS?

[nevafaye]

I think it's rare to get a legit positive before 8DPO.

[winecheery]

How many dpo are you?? I asked this in another thread, and most people said 12-14 dyas or wait for AF to not show

[HoneySpider]

Yeah i dont think there is much of a chance of anything before 8 dpo

[winecheery]

Ummm girlfriend, I'm presently living proof that you don't know what's up with your cycle til it's over and AF or a BFP show up.

Case in point, as of yesterday my temps were reflecting an O of CD15, putting me at 7DPO. Today, I plug in my temp and am switched to O on CD20, and now I'm 3DPO again.

Bottom line, our cycles fluctuate, or bodies are capable of many things...if you were careful, assume you're fine for now. Besides apparently 5DPO is too early for pregnancy symptoms. Only progesterone symptoms are present then.

BUT, you could have O'd sooner than you thought, or YH's spermies could be really resilient...if you DTD anywhere close to your fertile days, there's always a chance.

I'll bet you're just crazy tho, and everything will be ok

The chance of implantation on 5DPO is like 1 percent or so, I think most literature says implantation happens between 7 and 10DPO, but is possible between 6 and 12DPO, so if you felt weird on 3 and 4 DPO it's probably not pregnancy related.

That said, I know the info I got with my pee-sticks had a little chart of how big the chance of getting a positive (while you were actually pregnant) was on what day. Mine doesn't even start listing days until 8DPO and then it's like a 25 percent chance that you get a correct reading if you're pregnant, you don't go up to 50 percent until day 10.

That said, not a doctor, have no idea, do you have cheapy pee-sticks so you can just test every morning?

I think I am pregnant every month. Alas, I am not yet pregnant.

Are you talking about OPK's or pregnancy tests?

I haven't had any problems with charting, I have a regular cycle and got a positive OPK on my usual time

Yeah, I was talking about pregnancy tests.

Le sigh. You guys. Seriously. I just talk too much. I'm not freaking out. I'm just rambling. And since I can't/won't talk about ttc musings/questions IRL, I just pour it all out here. So, sorry.

I'll just step back from posting on the boards a bit I guess, if it's an issue.

[sunflower22]

I ragged on winecheery already this morning lol. And then I felt bad. Everybody hug!!!

[nevafaye]

That above.

Not asking you to post less or leave, just calm it down a bit.

Honestly, for me, the anxiety is just contagious. I'm trying really hard not to let my (already problematic in my every day life) anxiety get the better of me with this, and sometimes your comments make that really difficult.

[HoneySpider]

If you have a random/off-topic vent, feel free to start a vent thread

[winecheery]

I honestly was just attempting to share a story that might help explain that crazy things happen all the time. I didn't even mean for it to come off as a vent. It clearly didn't work out that way :N: I must not be good at conveying my intentions in black and white or something. I really just talk too much, I think. Or I'm off today...

I get it. I'm being really ass sensitive today, and not thinking before I "speak" ({)neva(}) I understand how it feels to want to keep yourself calm, and then the crazy train rolls in...
