You're cd26 today right?

You could get a positive tomorrow with fmu, or better still test Wednesday when you'll be a day late.

I'd test tomorrow but I have an obsession with poas

good luck!

CD = Cycle Day

D'you reckon I'll get the gold star now??!!

Mandy - at the top of the page there is a link to the most common acronyms used....it's under 'Useful stuff'.

A basic TTC run-down though is:
BD = sex (baby-dancing !!)
AF = Period (Auntie Flo)
2WW = two week wait
OV = ovulation
LP = luteal phase (time between Ov and AF!!!)
pg = pregnant
BFP = Big Fat Positive (when taking a test)
BFN = Big Fat Negative (what we don't want!)
DD/DS/DC/DH/DP = Darling Daughter/ Son/ Children/ Husband/ Partner

HTH.

DOn't mean to intrude, but those of you who became pg unexpectedly and later in their cycles, did your partner, ahem, interupt coitus?

You can get PG on any day of your cycle.

Ovulation dates change!

Disenchanted · 21/05/2008 19:59

My cycle is 28-30 days but this time I got pregnant on day 22ish

limecrush · 21/05/2008 19:55

DEFINITELY. I got pg on day 20-21 with ds1 (delayed ovulation prob cos stressing about conceiving!), day 17 or 18 with ds2. My cycle is 29-31 days. xx best of luck!!

Idobelieveinfairies · 21/05/2008 19:54

not til 2 weeks after i was due on i started getting very very faint positives...had done 2 tests before that and were both negative.

When i went for my first scan they put my dates back by 2 weeks too.

However it was slightly complicated as twin 2 was measuring 2 weeks smaller than twin 1 at that scan so they think she was concieved 2 weeks after twin 1!!!

I would say it is possible to get pregnant any time of your cycle....but more common is around day 14.

uptomyeyes · 21/05/2008 19:51

DS3 was conceived, unexpectedly, on day 24 of a 28 day cycle so IMO day 18 is entirely feasible!

Idobelieveinfaires what day did you get your BFP?

OP posts:
Idobelieveinfairies · 21/05/2008 19:48

I got pregnant on day 25 of my 28 day cycle...and with twins!

I thought i'd be safe then and took a chance (the only chance!)..and they are 3 now.

You don't always ovulate 14 days before your period, do you ?
