What day did you get your bfp?

I have been ttc for ages (will be 2 years in December)

I was reading that implantation usually happens day 6-12 after ovulation but most often day 8 or 9? But I keep seeing people on YouTube etc getting positives at 8/9 dpo??? I’d also read that by day 6 the egg is a blastocyst and reaches the uterus so is that actually more likely it’ll implant on day 6?

With all 3 of mine I had a bfp at 9dpo.

Maybeimjuststupid · 29/09/2023 17:38

So is implantation more likely to be 6/7 dpo ?

With DC1, tested positive 13 days post ovulation. This time round tested positive 10 days post ovulation.

9dpo this time around 😊

Maybeimjuststupid · 29/09/2023 18:03

I think I ovulated last wed or thu so I’m either 8 or 9 dpo and just feel like it’ll be yet another month with a negative. I don’t usually test early but thinking of starting as otherwise I get my hopes up and I’d rather know at 8/9/10 dpo

I got a very faint positive at 9dpo on a first response! I pretty sure I implanted at 7dpo as I had two tiny dots of blood when I wiped mid afternoon - wouldn’t have seen it if I wasn’t looking 😂 Sadly ended in a MMC at 9 weeks.

Trying again now but annoyingly I already count myself out if it gets to 9dpo and I haven’t got symptoms with me having so many when I first fell pregnant. Not testing this month until I miss my period though!

12 dpo, but I did not test before. And this was 16 years ago!

moosey89 · 29/09/2023 18:35

The range is 6-12 for most people so it's really hard to say! A lot of people might get a positive at 9dpo but just as many people don't.

Puddleducks9 · 29/09/2023 18:38

I got a faint positive 11dpo, I had been bleeding between 8dpo and 10dpo but then it stopped.

MattieandmummyandIs · 29/09/2023 20:07

With all of mine I've got a positive on day 9 or 10 and I think implantation for me is day 6 or 7 as I got a few spots of blood every time.

Maybeimjuststupid · 29/09/2023 20:09

I just know it won’t be my month I might test early this weekend so that I don’t get my hopes up over the next few days

The thing is if you test really early and get a faint positive you do increase the chance of it being a chemical, just because a lot of pregnancies end this way but people that don’t early test wouldn’t know - they would just think their period was a bit late or heavy. After my early BFP I was so worked up about this happening to me. In future/hindsight I would wait until AF was late and just be ignorant until then!

For those with 28 day cycles and ovulation on day 14, implantation is, on average, most likely to successfully occur on day 8,9 or 10.

However, the normal range for a successful pregnancy is 6-12. So, while the majority of women will implant on 8 9 or 10, some will implantation later and some earlier.

When you get your bfp doesn't just depend on implantation day, it also depends on:

  • the sensitivity of the test you're using
  • your starting beta hcg (between 0.1 and 5)
  • how fast your hcg doubles (36-72 hours)

If you have a base hcg of 5, use a frer and hcg doubles every 48 hours, you can get a bfp the day after implantation, so a 8 or 9dpo bfp is a 7 or 8dpo implant.

It's worth noting that most women will not get a bfp before 10dpo, while it may seem like most women on mumsnet do, it is not an indicator for the greater population.

I'm certain I implanted late night 5dpo (could have been 6 if I ovulated day of peak not day after) as I felt it, but didn't get a line until 13dpo pm (may have showed fmu 12dpo, but i didnt test), likely because I have lower base hcg of around 1.

So, even if you do implant earlier there's no guarantee you'll get an early bfp.

The blastocyst kinda floats around for a bit before implanting, just chillin' in the womb.

I found this website really helpful / reassuring when ttc. It tells you the odds on when you’ll get a positive test.

That’s 9dpo but if you scroll down you can see other days. 9dpo is still quite early x
