when counting days past "0"?

[beth79]

hope this makes sense....

when counting your DPO, if you are using OPK's, do you count from the day you see your positive on your OPK or the day after? I know the instruction says the positive OPK means that you should ovulate within 24 hours or something?

thanks in advance for your replies..!!

I would think you would count ovulation as the next day. It's easier when you chart as well, cos that will give you an O day to work from.

I think everyone is different. Are you temping?? Using both of these in conjunction will give you a much better picture, although its kind of all in hindsight. I used OPKs this month for the first time and got a BFP, but its still hard to determine if i Od on the 17(when i got the last positive) 18 or where FF put me at the 19. Not that it matters once you get pregnant. Are you charting with FF?

i would assume the next day - although last month i only used OPK's and i had pains in my ovaries for 2 days before i got any prominent line (which still wasnt as dark as it should have been... this month i am temping!! good luck
