Hi,

Just wondering how many days past ovulation it took for you to get a BFP or how many days have you heard of? I am asking because I am 18 DPO with elevated temps and still no sign of AF and getting BFN, wondering if its still possible!

Just wondering how many DPO most people get a BFP....Please post your story or stories you have heard!

Yeah Cher!!! Congratulations!!!!

I was at 10DPO when I got my BFP...that's pretty early though. I used First Response Early and Clear Blue Earliest Result.

Good luck!

Thanks Lori!!!

I used E.P.T. and it only took 1.5 minutes... it was crystal clear!!! I haven't had any real symptoms either.. mostly just vivid dreams, gas (sorry TMI) and I've been rather tired... but that's about it. I feel wonderful. My DH was thrilled!!! He cried he was so happy!!!! I can't believe it!!!!

Congrats to you too!!!

From the www.ivillage.com website, it determined my EDD to be 5/1/04!!! Woo Hoo!!!!

Best wishes to you and to all the other ladies, I'm sending lots of baby dust!!!!

If I'm not mistaken, TCOYF says that 18 high temps after O generally indicates a pregnancy. It's possible that your O date is wrong, but if not, there's a pretty good chance yu're pg! I'd test tomorrow with FMU. Good luck!!!

I agree with Katie. TCOYF does say that 18 highs are a confirmed pregnancy. I would test again soon or see your doctor. Good luck!

Great question valerie, I'm 10dpo and I can hardly wait. If I was at 18 dpo I would test especially after reading the other girls responses, good luck and let us know :-)

Q: How soon after ovulation can I test?

A: The earliest you can get a positive result on the most sensitive pregnancy tests is seven days after ovulation. Implantation needs to occur before hCG is produced, and that generally happens between 6-12 days post ovulation, usually by 10 days after. For this reason, it makes economical sense to wait until 10-12 days after ovulation, but even then a significant percentage of women who are indeed pregnant will still show a negative result. If you have not had an hCG injection (common in fertility treatment, brands include Profasi, Pregnyl and Novarel), you can believe the positive, but you might get a false negative. If your period is late, test again. Your hCG levels should double every 2-3 days and many people won't have a positive HPT until the first day of a missed period or even a few days later.
