How can I predict ovulation ? Posted: 12-17-07 12:29pm
i came off the pill on the 12 sep this
year i then came on on the 20th of
november to the 25th, in the last week i
have been getting brown discharge, it is
light and does not smell and is not thick,
it isnt spotted, i have had unprotected
sex on my 14th day of my cycle (3rd
december) and (9th and 11th day of cycle)
but my boyfriend did pull out before he
came. i took a first response test today
(17th december) and it came out negetive,
could i still be pregnant, im not sure
when im coming on although i think i
ovulated on the 16th day of my cycle as i
had period pains on this day and thick
yellow discharge a few days later. what do
you think it could be? could it be
pregnancy and should i retest and when?

If your cycle is irregular, ovulation can
not be predicted by simply looking at a
calendar. Plus, yellow vaginal discharge
is not sign of ovulation. Unfortunately,
you won't be able to know anything about
just yet the possibilities for conception.
You can, however, use an ovulation
predictor kit or you can track the basal
temperature of your body in order to
predict ovulation. Finally, the 17th of
December could be too early a date for
performing a pregnancy test so you can
take another test around the middle of
December.
