Non charter - O date ques

kellygirl0515

Hi girls - I do not chart.  I got my positive surge on Answer OPK stick yesterday along w/ my smiley face on CBE digital (talk about being addicted to peeing on things ha!ha!)  Now my question is what day do I start counting as day 1 past ovulation?  I was thinking tomorrow or is that too soon?  Help me out.  I don't want to start peeing on HPT's too early although the $1 store is real close to me ha!Ha!   TIA Kel

Glad you finally got a positive OPK!  Since you aren't charting it is hard to say for sure, but I usually get a positive OPK the day before I ovulate, so 2 days after the positive OPK would be 1dpo for me.  Hope that makes sense--I'm tired.

It's really hard to tell.  You can get a OPK+ and ovulate 24, 36 or even 48 hours later.  It has happened to me.  My advice?  Wait until your late to test.  Since you're not 100% when you've O'd maybe aim for 18+ days from today.  GL!

1 dpo is usually 48 hours after a +opk for me, but it's impossible to be sure without tracking temps!

Normally I ovulate the day after a +OPK...but knowing we are all different you may not ovulate for a day or 2 after a +...try and be aware of any cramping you may feel, could be ovulation pains.  My advice for what it's worth...go get a BBT and start temping...it helps when you are POAS-aholic to have something else to obsess about every morning!!

A positive OPK does not necessarily mean you DID ovulate but only that your body had a LH surge. Regardless, I think the ladies are correct. Without temping, it's a guesstimate so there is no harm in counting the day after as your O date and each day add a DPO. GL!

I agree with the other ladies, it is hard to tell. You should probably just wait until you the day you are supposed to get AF to test or if you are late.  GL!
