My hubby is sick and he sprain his neck... Look like today will be a missed.... Looking at the number of try we had, do I get a chance to be pregnant? Today is the 20th day, I have done the ovulation test.. Again it is neg... Curious n confuse... Whether is the test problem or i m really not ovulating yet? I have bought a high sensitive ovulation kit, any problem with that?

By the way, how long or how many times a month I should try? Can I have it from day 10th to 20th and wait if the next menses arrive? But in between only 4times intercourse with about 3days of interver.... Which is 10th, 14th, 17th and 20th... Not sure... Your advise is really appreciated....

No advise of my enquiries? Anyway I have done the ovulation test on day 14th and day 19th (which is today) but show negative... Looking at the chart if base on my last 3 cycle, I'm on 36 cycle and should ovulate on day 19th.., however, we had intercourse on day 11th, 14th and 17th... Should I have another round of intercourse on day 20th? I'm not sure if I should or not...

Just to add on, after every intercourse and for the next few days I am having increase in white discharge... Not sure if those are the died sperm or it was really my egg? Also, if I m suppose to ovulate on day 20th but had intercourse on day 19th... Will I still be any chance to get pregnant? For my understanding sperm can last for 72 hrs.. But not sure if I really had to do it on the ovulation day to increase the chance or as long I had it the day before and it equivalent good enough... The reason I m asking is, cycle chart say if my cycle is 36days I should ovulate on 19th... But after test it was negative.. So I was thinking of having intercourse on 20th... I'm confuse and do not wish to miss that chance... Appreciate u may advise....

I know that stress, worried n keep thinking about how TTC may delay my pregnancy... But I really tried to relax myself n try not to think about it... I just can't...

I keep thinking of when should I try n if my hubby is around to try... I'm really stress up... Is there a way on how to relax myself? I know if I continue to be in this way I will never get pregnant.

Can help?

In addition, i have purchase the OPK.. but I'm not  sure when should I do the test.. There is a chart on the days to the test base on my cycle.. Do I use the cycle for the past 3 months?

As mentioned previously, I used to have regular menses but after which it was delay for 5 days.. So if I calculate base on the last 3 months. My cycle was 36 days.. Is that correct? If so I should do the test on 20th days prior to my last menses.. If that is the case which mean I have bren trying on the wrong day... No wonder I didn't get pregnant.... :(

Hi.. I have a question.. Im still having discomfort on my abdominal after my menses had ended on last Sunday (1.1.12). I'm worried if there is problem with it. Do I need to go n visit the doc n have a scan? I know u have mentioned that it nay due to lots if reason to have these discomfort.

Another thing is, I have been taking folic acid since august. Was told to take it when TTC.. is there any reason to my discomfort for consuming this?

when we TTC ,we get stressed out and start calculating days,noticing each and every single sign these things trust me can make us to ovulate late which means a delay in cylce or sometimes chemical pregnancy cud be the reason of delay which is very common in all TTC women.

I think instead of calculating days the most accurate option to know when you are ovulating to use OPK ,they are reliable and can give you a shorter window to have sex sothat you are sure that you are utilising your fertile days.Since your husband travels alot OPK can really help you.

You have tried for 5 months though it is not a long time but i know can be frustrating but you need to trust me on this if you are TTC two things are very important first is to have SEX during FERTILE TIME and not to take stress just enjoy being with your partner ,do not make it a job which you both have to perform just ENJOY.I hope you are already taking prenatals.

I dont belive in this myth nor i have ever heard of this.

Am i correct to say even though I hv been having regular menses that falls on 14 or 15 of the month and menses was delay for next 3 month, I can still do my calculation fr the first day of my menses?

The reason that I m asking is in fact I am already a mother of 1 son.. Before I was pregnant we only tried for 3 times.. There is no delay of menses till the 3rd month n I m pregnant..

This round I have already tried for 5 months but still no positive.. Dan I have delay in menses which makes me think if I have done the calculation correctly..

There is a myth that I wish to ask if u believe... Was told that during pregnancy or at the early stage or about to convieve, you should not move the bed.. Is that true?

I didn't believe it, but the reason I ask is, i changed my bedsheet on my 5th day which is also my first day of menses... I really have a very high feeling that I m pregnant this round not only my menses was delay but I feel something... Like craving for food, regular pee, keep farting, get tired easily...

Before I change my bedsheet, everything seem ok.. No menses n white discharge is normal... But the moment I shift my bed and start to change, the feeling is not right and started to felt worried and feel wet on my panty... That where I went to the toilet to check... And here it came... I know it sound funny... But I don't know why I felt so sad n burst out  after I saw my menses... For the past, I just felt sad for a day n forget about it n try again....

U know anything about this?

TTC can do some really weird and wacky things wid your body like a little delayed period which you have .

Any woman is fertile for about 7 days each cycle which is 5 days prior to the ovulation day ,day of ovulation and a day after ovulation at most.

You are not fertile from the first day of your period .Most women ovulate between day 11 to day 21 of their cycle which is called the fertile period.start counting from the first day of your period as the day1.

Some ladies use cervical mucus method to know when they are ovulating but that is according to me is really difficult to follow to determine the ovulation.When you are most fertile you wd notice egg white like cervical mucus .

You have already had your period so you are not pregnant.Though bleeding is common in early pregnancy but when you notice some change in your bleeeding pattern like very light period/less flow then you should do hpt but if it is a regular flow of period then you are not pregnant.

Thanks a005 for ur advise... Today is the 5th day of my missed period n it also the day I hv my first day of period... I'm sad n I've cried.. I thought I would b pregnant... But didn't know it turn out to be so disappointing.....

Now I m confuse... I dont know when exactly is my fertile period... M I suppose to count starting from today till the 14th day prior to my period? I used to hv my period on 14 or 15 of the month... For the past 3 month it was delay 5 days n 5 days n now another 5 days...

If today is my first day of period, when should I try again...

For best results you must have sex during your fertile period.since your husband is frequently touring so it is important for you to use OPK to know when you are ovulating .Fertile period starts from 5 days before ovulation,including ovuation daya and a day after.So it is one weeks time when you are fertile and you should have sex once daily to increase your chances.let me tell you it is only 25% chance of conception each cycle so you should not get worried ,it can take time ,on an average it takes about 4-6 months of active trying but in case you take a little more time then it does not mean there is any problem,some healthy and fertile couple can take upto 1 yr to get pregnnant natrually .

you  and your husband need to RELAX  and ENJOY the process as many studies have suggested stress can actually delay the conception.


M just giving you an example of fertile period for a female who has a regular period every 29-30 days ,her fertile period will be Day 11 to Day 18.

Abdominal discomfort or feeling like menses are about to come can be due to many reasons-1.Ovulation,2.implantation,3.Early Pregnancy4.few days before menstrual cycle so these discomfort or cramps are so common in all women and you should know that these cramps are very normal and common in early pregnancy also.Even i had mestrual ike cramps i thought my cycle is coming but instead i was pregnant!!Every woman goes through this phase there is nothing to worry about this discomfort.

Brown discharge is old blood and can be sign of a pregnancy and start of your period it cud be either of them.some women experience spotting in early pregnancy so it is important for you to TEST with first morning urine.Or else if you want to wait and see whether spotting is followed by regular flow of period then wait for 3-4 days more if period doesn not show up then TEST.

If you do not get positive this time then try again but give conception full chnace by having regular sex during your fertile period and be relaxed it wd happen soon.

Good Luck!

My hubby and I are planning for a baby. I understand usually 14th day prior to the first day of menses would be the best time to have sexual intercourse. However, due to my hubby travel often and we didnt manage to meet 14th but we tried it on either 11th or 17th,etc. On my last try, it was on 23th day which is 11 Nov. But menses came on 23 Nov.

I used to have regular menses which is either 14th or 15th of the month. But for the past two month (which is Oct n nov) my menses delay for 5days. Oct was on 19 and nov was on 23. Ever since my first try, I'm always having abdominal cramp or discomfort. It was like symptom few days before my menses came. But I'm having it for about 4 month.

Now, my menses has ended and I'm still having the discomfort. I'm wondering any chance of being pregnant now? Or should I try again?

can I be preg? I had a d and c done on the 30th of november because of a missed miscarry, I had unprotected sex once about 2 weeks later. How easy is it to get preg after the d and c? My doc said I could have sex as soon as I wanted as long as I felt better. Again we had sex once but he went twice inside of me,. If he goes more than once are my chances higher? Am I more fertal? What are the odds I'm preg? We had sex about 4 days ago, if that. How soon can I get blood wk done to find out? My levels were back to normal does that increase my chances? I also had unprotected sex while I was bleeding still would that mean I'm safe and not preg? Or have I goten preg again? Sorry so many questions but the mis. Was so devastating to my friend and I that he's not ready to try for anotherone. I wouldn't mind at all tho if I did get preg every baby is a blessing. Now I am having a creamy white discharge, food doesn't seem to be good at all and I keep getting hot at 40 deg. Outside, major hotflashes and my cervics seems to be soft and a lit swolen. How long would I have to wait to get a period if I don't get blood wk done? Again how long do I have to wait for a bloodtest to tell me I'm preg? Please help me with all these questions
