can some one please advise me?

Can you still conceive on day 16 of your cycle if you get a positive opk on this date?

started light bleeding on the 6th of oct and it then turned heavy on the 8th of oct af finished on the 10th fully.

Tested positive opk on the 21st of oct.

has any one had similar cycle and conceived?

CD1 is the day you wake up bleeding bright red blood.

If you ovulate later than normal - which can happen occasionally due to illness or stress or just because - your period tends to be correspondingly late. Your body still has the opportunity to fertilise and implant an egg. You need between 10 and 16 days for an average luteal phase (ovulation to period).

I ovulated on day 18 both my pregnancies; cycle 30-31 days.

@Tarn85 Pretty sure first day of any kind of bleeding is considered cd 1.

Hi Emma, I was so confused because I have never had a 26 day cycle it’s normally 28 day’s.

also I had an early mc end of August so I can only put it down to that and every thing changing unless it can just happen to our cycles.

another question do you count your cycle from the first day of a heavy bleed or does a light bleed count as a day of your cycle as I started light bleeding on the 6th of Oct and started a heavy bleed on the 8th?

sorry for all the questions,just trying you get my head around how it all works! 🙈

@Tarn85 That goes for early ovulation. If you ovulate before day 11 the egg doesn’t have time to mature and the lining isn’t thick enough. Late ovulation is after day 21 and the egg is not the best quality.

@CeibaTree @Nic17 @emmatcc1

Thank you for the advice 🙂

I was reading up about late ovulation as on my fertility app I ovulated later than my predicted day’s and also my cycle changed to 26 days.

people was saying that when you ovulate later than the predicted the womb doesn’t have time to thicken so I was like I’m out this month then 😤.

Conceived on day 16! Unfortunately resulted in a loss but it's definitely possible to ovulate then!

DC1 was conceived after a positive OPK on day 17 :)

You most likely ovulated a day or two after positive opk. If you’re ttc you timed it perfectly.
