Questions & Answers

Wow! You're one lucky duck - I had 2 weeks of really bad symptoms before I got a conclusive BFP (which was still a bit faint) 16 dpo. I confirmed at the doctor's 4 days later when my HCG had shot up to 1490.
Congrats on the upcoming New Year's Baby :-)

stickinikki : Between Jan 7th and Jan 10th. Not sure yet. It will depend on ultrasound. Congrats to you!!

mandib17 : Congrats to you too!!!

jkim80 : Thank you! You are very helpful! :)

Same exact thing just happened to me this week!! I had a faint line 7 days before AF was due..had a beta the next day it was at 11. Friday (2 days later) it was at 43!!! Congrats Hun! When are you due? Im looking at Jan 7th

I got my bfp at 8dpo and it was pretty faint. Congrats!

also is there a chance that you got pregnant last month? did you test last month before and just after your period and get a neg? some people think they got their period but it is just implantation bleeding or just early pregnancy spotting.....? Either way your doctor will probably do an ultrasound (after 8 weeks usually) to give you a more accurate due date if you are not sure, without measuring BBT or using LH test strips or having a completely consistant period in length from month to month it will be up in the air but an ultrasound will help them narrow it down, but dont be surprised if they change your duedate once or trice since the early ultrasounds have up to a 5 day inaccuracy since every baby grows a little different, just like people after their born :D My son was almost a week ahead at my first ultrasound but I was 100% on my O date so they left my duedate alone, we was born one day early :) CONGRATS AGAIN!

it's possible, I was told that I don't ovulate consistantly so I had to learn all about how our bodies work to figure out what they were talking about and how to get pregnant without medical intervention or fertility drugs, sometimes my periods were 21 days apart sometimes they were 90 days apart. The only consistant thing in a womens period is her luteal phase, the time from ovulation to period, the average is 14 days but a health phase is anywhere from 12-16days. If your period is consistantly the same length you can figure you ovulated somewhere in the 12-16 days before you were due to get your period, if like me you are varied in length then it will be harder to poin point. In my periods that were 21 days I ovulated on day 7 which was only 3 days after my period stopped, our bodies are a little crazy sometimes :)

Thank you ladies! I guess I ovulated way before I thought I did... Can you ovulated soon after your period? :-)

Definitely not normal, it's more likely that you ovulated earlier than you thought, since at 7 dpo most people are just having the egg implant and it isn't until a few days after that that there is enough hcg in your urine to test positive, I was 100 percent sure of my O day and didn't get a faint positive until 11dpo, everyone is different on when implantation occurs but the average is 7-10 dpo though 5-12 is possible. If your positives were that strong it sounds more like you could have ovulated up to a week or more before you thought. Either way CONGRATS!!

You could have had your ovulation day off by a few days. Or it could be becus everyone produces hcg differently. But I wouldnt think it was abnormal at all.... You just got lucky and didnt have to wait forever to get a bfp lol :) I would think thats a good thing!! Congratulations!
