Cautiously joining but have no idea how far along I am

[Lauren82]

Hi Mamas,

I have had several BFP's although they aren't getting much darker yet so I am a little worried. I am going in tomorrow AM for blood work to check my hormone levels.

I'm not sure at all of my O date this past cycle so I don't even know how far along I am. I don't chart and my cycles vary in length. If anyone could help me figure it out so I can have a tentative due date, I would be so grateful.

The past few cycles have been: 40, 33, 36, 31, 32, 40 days in length.

My DH and I only DTD twice in October and it was on the 27th and 28th. I got my first BFP on Sunday morning on a FRER and it was so faint I almost missed it. I tested again Sunday night with 5 different tests including a digital and they were all positive.

congrats!

do you remember anywhere in the past 2 weeks that you had stretchy cervical fluid? that would be a fair indicator of about when you ovulated.

I actually had none at all! My CM was sticky and creamy the last couple weeks. Now it is really watery.

If you oed right after dtd on the 28th your due date based on ovultion would be July 21st. If oed on the 28th that would make Sunday 11dpo which is about when you would get a faint BFP. Probably the lasted you oed was the 31st because of sperm fiability and number of days past o that you would actually get a BFP. If it was the 31st then your EDD would be July 24th.

This page has an option to calculate by conception date: http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/duedate/

Going by when you dtd, it would be around July 20th or 21st, however assuming that you could have ovulated at least three days afterward, that gives you a good window of July 20th - 24th. Plus, that would have put your faint positive on Sunday between 9 and 13dpo, which is right on the money for a faint pos.

Do you know the first day of your last period? It probably wouldn't narrow it down by much since it varied a bit, but I'll bet calculating it out would have it fall in that window.

I'm not sure how to get it any more exact than that.

Thanks so much for your help ladies! I guess the 21st seems about right.

congrats! I agree, your EDD is July 20-24.
