Ladies with short cycles, when did you get your bfp?

I have a 24/25 day cycle and this month I ovulated on CD 13 or 14 (static smiley on CBOPK on CD13). Am now on CD 23 and AF is due in 3 days. I’ve been getting BFNs for the last two days because I couldn’t hold out any longer, but was hoping to hear some success stories from others with short cycles getting similar results and going on to test positive. Just really hoping I’m not out this month :(

@Cuppasoupmonster that’s amazing congrats! We DTD every day leading up to ovulating and a few days after so really hoping we caught but not feeling likely from the BFNs so far

My cycle was 25-28 days, usually 26/27, got pregnant with DD1 first month and currently pregnant with DD2 which took 2 months! Got my BFP both times on CD22 😮 my tip is start having sex the moment your period finishes. Good luck!

So sorry to hear of your loss 😔 this is my first month tracking properly with OPKs so calculating from the day I got a static smiley on CB OPK I should be about 10 DPO? Hoping that means I’m not out yet!

It’s not really based on cycle length it’s more how many days since ovulation. Usually by 12 days after ovulation a test would be positive if pregnant but not always. My cycles are 24-27 days. Last cycle it would have been 26 days and I ovulated CD14. I had a faint positive on 12dpo but unfortunately it didn’t stick and I lost it at 5 weeks. Usually by 12dpo because if implantation happens any later than 10dpo it’s unlikely to stick (not always but in most cases) and it takes 1-2 days for HGC to show on a pregnancy test after implantation.
