DPO Timing Question

Hi ladies,

Quick question.

On August 10th (sunday) my OPK test was very positive. So how do I count my DPO? Am I 7 or 9 days at this point?

Do I begin counting on the date of my positive OPK? I just went in for a blood Pg test to see if there is any early HCG so I can plan my labor day fun around it.

Claire-

The easiest way to see how many DPO you are is to chart. Since OPKs only tell you that you're going to O in 24-48 hours, I'm not sure if you can find an accurate day. Also, you might want to check your CM. I know that mine gets creamy (TMI) the day I O. The EWCM and watery type are all during the few days preceeding O and then about 4-5 days DPO.

I hope that the blood test comes back with a BFP! Then you won't have to worry about DPO at all!!!

Good Luck

Thanks! I bought the BBT so I can start charting this month if my AF does show up. So do I count my LH surge as Day 1?
