If I am not temping, how do I know how many DPO I am?

I got my first posititve OPK Monday night as well as EWCM, but is that the day I ovulated?

    If I understand all this correctly, then... if you got a +opk, then you O'd within 12-36 hours from that test.

    We really wouldn't be able to know without your temps. But the + OPK and EWCM seems like you might've ovulated sometime around those dates. But can't be sure without those temps.

    If you're not temping, you DON'T know how many DPO you are. The only way to really confirm O is by the temp shift that happens. You can guess what DPO you are, but there is no way to know for sure unless you temp. Sorry. Generally, they say you ovulate 24-36 hours after you get your positive OPK, but I've ovulated 5 days after getting a +OPK.

     Oh, good to know.  I totally don't temp (yet) because I'm afraid of my obsessive nature taking over.

    If your +OPK was Monday night, IF you actually Oed, it was probably Tuesday or Wednesday.  Temping is the only way to confirm that you really Oed after the LH surge, though. GL!

    I was wondering the same thing...until last night... the bible of fertility arrived. I got my copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility (the book people talk about on here). I am embarassed to say I couldn't put it down! My DH wanted to watch TV with me and I couldn't pull myself away! If you don't already have it, get it! I got it used for $4 and it is worth ten times that!

    I read the whole thing in one shot too, after I got it at the library. 

    Anyone who's new to this: Get it. Read it. It's got a whole lot of very useful information in it, and I learned more than I expected to.

    BFP #1 9/7/12. Loved for a month, and lost 10/11/12.
