Hello everyone:
looking for a little educated advice. I am brand new pregnant, missed my period on the weekend, took a test on monday night--very strong.
This is my fourth. Did alot of research for number one b/c it took forever, so I like to think i'm fairly knowledgeable here, but this one has me stumped.
I always have pain with ovulation, and I had it strong two weeks ago this past weekend-the sunday night to be exact. Since we don't really use any bc, i'm still nursing (not that it makes a difference, my cycles been back for months), so we vaguely use natural family planning--mostly I just tell him when to stay away from me. The o pain has been a good indicator in the past.
So then we weren't together until the tuesday night, a full 48 hours after the pain. I was confident this was long enough. Apparently not.
I checked through all my books again and the best I found was a resource that says after ovulation, the egg will live for 12-24 hours. That's less than I was counting on--i thought 36 hours. Even if I didn't ovulate until closer to monday morning, 36 hours should have put us in the clear by tuesday night. Dontcha think?

So what's the deal? Doesn't ovulation pain happen while ovulation is occurring? Or way before? And how long will those little eggies live anyway?
Please help me clear up my little mystery.
Thanks,
prsmama
