How to count DPO? And other Q.

Hi ladies,

I am just wondering, how do you count DPO?

Let's say I ovulated on CD10...is CD16 5 or 6 dpo?

I had light pink spotting on CD16 that only showed up on my toilet paper for about an hour (I kept going back to wipe and check)and hasn't been back since - and I hope it was from implantation!

Also, how soon after implantion would HCG levels be detectable with Answer Early Preg or Clear BlueEasy Early Preg test?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Shal

If you O'd on CD10, CD11 would be 1dpo and cd16 would be 6dpo and so on... I've heard of a few getting positives on 9dpo but I think the more standard is 10-12dpo. Your DR would say wait until first day of missed AF. I think the bottom line is ... hold out as long as you can possibly stand it without driving yourself or DH CRAZY worrying and analyzing every twinge!!! LOL!!

Good luck to you!!

Maggie,

Thank you so much for your response.

LOL lucky for me, DH is a very patient person, so it'll be hard to drive him crazy. :)

Thanks again :)
