Trying to Get Smarter (plz Ansr)

If you got your period after you ttc last month - you're not pregnant. But .. If it wasn't a normal period (very light , abnormal to your others) then you very well may be. It is november, so your obgyn will test you again!

And why don't you go at it more if your ttc! Not just 3 days out of your cycle! Unless your 100% positive that you ovulate within those days.

And it made me laugh how you took a pregnancy test a few days after you ttc! Lol, you are impatient!


Baby dust your way

Hi there - maybe I can help give you just a bit of info, so you don't drive yourself crazy!!!!!!!!!
And start this after you get your next af (if it comes!!).
The day you start af, it is cycle day 1. Around cycle day 12 is when you should start ttc, through to the day after you ovulate (so if you ovulate on cycle day 17 for example, then try the day after as well, just in case you ovualted a day late!) for a 30 day cycle which you said you are every month, you would ovualte on cycle day 17!!!!!
Then, the earliest you should take a pregnancy test is no more than 3-4 days before your period would normally come, depending on how sensitive the test is to the hcg hormone. If it comes out negative, and still no af comes after being late by about 2 days, then take another test.
For some women, the hcg (preganacy hormone) does not show up for a while for some reason!!!!
If you do conceive at some point, the egg still takes about 6 days on average to "implant" itself to your uterus.(for you, this would be approx. Cycle day 23) at this point, you may then see some "implantation bleeding" which is usually brown to light pink, and usually only lasts for a day. Some women do not get implantation bleeding.
You can buy a basal thermometer for about $7.00 at a drug store, and you can chart your daily basal temperature. You temp will drop on the day you ovulate and again when your af comes. If you uvulated, you will see a temperature increase about 2 days after ovulation. If this temp stays elevated for more than 21 days, it is a good indication that you may be pregnant!!!!
The biggest thing to remember is that every woman is different and will experience different things!
Don't read too much into your body symptoms at this point, b/c thinking about it too much can actually cause your body stress and it will play games with you!!!!!!!!!!!
Relax and enjoy the experience of ttc with your husband, and soon enough it will happen! Some woman are lucky and it happens right away for them, for others, it can take years.
I am on month 5 of trying, was on the pill for 12 years straight and just went in for blood work to make sure all hormone levels are ok, b/c so far, I have only had 2 periods in 5 mths!!!!! Also going for an ultrasound to check for pcos next week.
Since you are regular with a 30 day cycle, you are lucky!!!! Don't think about it too much (i know this is easier said than done, but for women that stressed over it for so long and didn't conceive, it finally happened for them when they stopped thinking about it so much!!!)
i hope this info will help you and clarify things a bit more!!!
Lots and lots of baby dust to you, and just take it all in stride!!!!!

Yikes - sorry for all of the spelling mistakes! Guess I should have clicked "yes" for spell check! Lol!

Look - it isn't my fault you posted the same questions over and over again - the answer doesn't change - simple as.

We can not tell you when you ovulate, or if you are pregnant.

Sorry for not being psychic

< span class="postbody">

first of all if you don't like fact, then i'm sorry but no-one can help you.

The stickies are there so that people like you can find answers easily.
If you asked for peoples experience on a topic that is different to asking if they think you are pregnant. Kwim???

No-one here can say if you are or not.

Second, i'll post where I like thanks and not be told by a newbie what I can and can not do.

- that's a low of 120 - 400 million and a high of 150 - 500 million.
- that's a low of 80 - 200 million and a high of 240 - 600 million.

Two examples - yes, depending on where you go it will be read differently but it is not 20 million per day. Mine is combined from many medical research sites and is a good average.

Kthanks mhm

Ok ladies - how about we all be friendly here and just be happy that we all want the same thing.......To have a little one growing in our tummy!!!!!
Mamma - ask as many questions as you'd like. There are alot of us willing to listen and to help and offer you our advice and our own personal experiences. Although hard to read, I know that "kia" is just trying to help you with as much info as you can get. She definatley sounds like (and has posted with good info!) she knows what she's talkin' about!!!
But, remember that this is all supposed to be a fun and memorable experience, so as I said before (and i'm also trying to take my own advice! Lol!) relax, stay healthy, have fun and just keep on "trying" when you know the timing is right! I know, sometimes harder said than done, but it will eventually happen for all of us!
I wish you all the best of luck and do keep us posted on how things are going for you! You are more than welcome to post me questions, and I will try my best to answer them for you....But i'm no expert, so we'll learn together!
Baby dust to you girl!!!

No, i'm not curently pregnant.

I have complications which may affect my chances of pregnancy, but we don't know for sure how much they may affect it.

Glad we're both on the same track now

ps I also answered your question on ovulex and pre-natals.
