Question

14 DPO and then 16 DPO is a good dya to test bc then youd be two days late on your cyce? this is really confusing me i am trying to chart everything and its driving me nuts not being able to understand thee things!!

Answer 1

2ww is just a term to describe the time period from ovulation until either your period shows or you get a pos. test. It lasts a different amount of time for each woman--this is called the luteal phase. A woman's luteal phase can last from 10 days up to 18 days. But each woman's luteal phase will not vary more than a day each cycle. For example, if your luteal phase (lp) is 13 days then it will stay pretty consistantly 13 days. So, every woman's 2ww is different. A pregnancy test is pretty accurate at 14dpo for every woman. However, to keep from wasting money on tests you should figure out how long YOUR luteal phase is and test if you are a couple days longer than your average lp. Hope this helps!
