How many DPO is considered late?
So you’re at 15 DPO, no period. Pregnant? Maybe.
Your period technically starts to be considered late on day 15 of your cycle.
Doctors presume that you ovulate between days 12 and 14 of your cycle, despite the fact that few women have a regular four-week cycle.
After that comes the luteal phase, when your body prepares to support a potential pregnancy.
This can last anywhere from 10 to 17 days, but 14 days is considered to be the “normal” duration.
This means that once you reach 15 DPO, you will be officially one day past your period due and on cycle day 29.
However, some women have longer cycles; after all, they can last anywhere between 21 and 35 days. In this case, 15 days post-ovulation might not be regarded as being too late for you.
Tracking your period is helpful so you can get a general idea of what to expect.
What are the symptoms of 15 days pregnancy?
If you’re TTC, you’re probably symptom-spotting at 15 DPO.
Each twinge, smell, or other “weird” sensation may be one of the 15 DPO symptoms of pregnancy.
However, because these symptoms are so nebulous, we’re using the word “could” here. They could also be PMS symptoms, PCOS symptoms, or just regular period symptoms, which can be challenging if you have irregular cycles.
Pregnancy hormones can cause some early symptoms as early as 7 or 8 DPO.
The most common are:
15 DPO Symptoms: What to Expect
Before we dive into the specifics of the 15 DPO symptoms, let’s clarify one thing. Every woman’s body is different, and the same is true of your early pregnancy symptoms.
Some women may begin to experience pregnancy symptoms around 10 DPO, which is typically when implantation occurs. Others may experience pregnancy symptoms much sooner or much later than others.
So don’t give up if you haven’t noticed any early pregnancy symptoms by 15 DPO. You could still experience a Big Fat Positive in the future.
