oooooooooooook, let me try to explain this so its not too confusing. My cycles are usually around 30 days long. This month (my fist IUD free cycle in 2.5 yrs) I felt myself ovulate on the 8th (did bd 6,7,8th) of this month. (the first day of my last period was july 26th. So I ovulated on CD 14. Today is 14DPO.

SO here is my question....Do you always have 14 days after ovulation before AF, no matter when you ovulated. Or does cycle legnth depend on when you ovulate in the month?

I hope that makes sense.

Since i Ovulated on CD 14 *should* af be due today? (im 14 dpo)

I dont feel crampy or anything (not even sore b***s, which usually start a week before AF, but have had a nagging dull headache the past weeks and slight nausea..hope AF stays away!)

  2. The answer to your question is no, there is not always 14 days between ovulation and AF.  And yes, cycle length is dependent on when you ovulate.

    The time period between ovulation and AF should be pretty consistent for YOU from month to month, but it varies from one woman to the next, so there is no way to really tell without tracking a few months.  However, it sounds like you have a normal 30 day cycle, so AF should be due in two more days, even if you are 14 DPO.  It sounds like you have a 16 day LUTEAL phase.  That is the time between ovulation and AF.

    Your cycle length can vary based on whether you ovulate earlier or later in the month.  So if you (with your 16 day LUTEAL phase) ovulated on Cycle Day 10, you would have a 26 day cycle and if you ovulated on Cycle Day 20, you would have a 36 day cycle.

    That said, your signs sound promising.  I have read many reports where the first sign someone notices is no sign at all, no PMS, etc.

    Best of luck and baby dust!

    P.S.  Try to wait for tomorrow morning (first morning urine) before you PO your last Stick.

  3. Definitly not.  Thats what many women tend to understand is that all women get their period 14 days after they ovulate.  Which is NOT true.  I myself have an 11 day Luteal Phase (days to period after ovulation).  It depends on the person and a way you can tell what yours is ,...is by bbt charting.  And yes...the luteal phase is always the same (give a day or two).  So your cycle length depends on when you ovulated.  Hope this helps.  14 dpo seems like a reasonable amount of time to do a test though.  

  4. I'm not sure I think it all depends on when you ovulate..it doesn't always happen 14 days after af starts like most think but you seem to know exactly when you ovulated so I would guess that af is due today. Even if your cycles are regular you can still ovulate at different time. I'm a serial tester so I would already be testing like crazy if I were you...lol...good luck...and keep us posted

    I buy them on line by the truck load...lol. At earlypregnancytest.com you can get like 20 of them for 15 bucks...I think I am doing a good job of keeping them in bussiness...sure wish I had bought some stock in the company!
