the womanly cycle
can some one please explain how the cycle works (yah this sounds dumb) i looked on webmd.com and looked up ovulation. day 1-6 the uterus sheds and you get your period, day 7-14 your uterous thickens and prepares for preg., day15-28 you ovulate?????? my question is I had my period on the 24th of august and stopped on the 26th with very little bleedingit is now oct.5th and im having burning in my lower abdomen. so if i started on the 24th it should be at least 15 days (minamum) before i ovulate again right?then why on oct. 3rd have i had this feeling im my belly. and it has been only 10 days. am i worring to musch or what....please give advice
LOL From everything I've seen DH means Darling husband or Dear Husband.

im w. you, what does DH stand for. let me guess and you see if im right. daddy/husband?? do i win?
The lil initials and words you guys come up with are soo cute. But I too have trouble figuring out what some of it means. Took me a while just to get the DH one. LOL duh.
well i have a period on the 24th of every month. never late or never early. except last month i was only bleeding for one day then spotting the next. i usually bleed for 3-4 days???
Well you probably OV on the 10th. I would start BDing days 4-12 just to be on the safe side. Good luck.
Do you know the length of your cycle? Unless you know that, you aren't really going to be able to rely on a calendar for your OV day. Most books use the 28 day cycle b/c the math is convenient. However, few women actually have a 28 day cycle. And if you have irregular periods then the only way to tell when you OV is by your body signs (ex: EWCM, ovary cramp). I've been recommending this book a lot lately, but here goes again. Go to your library and check out "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". She goes into great detail about women's cycles. It's a great resource.
ateague's info is exactly right - right out of a textbook, however when it comes to the EXACT day of ovulation Learner is right. To give you an example, when I got pg I ovulated on CD 8 or 9, not 14. You must learn to look for bodily signs of ovulation otherwise you might ovulate earlier (or later) and miss your peak time to conceive.
Everyone woman is different.. You can purchase ovulation kits to help you figure out when you are ovulating.
usually, day 13-15 (avg. day 14) you ovulate. 14 days before your period starts when you usually ovulate and for only one day (at most). If you started Setp. 24th, then you are on day 11 of your cycle. You might be feeling ovulation cramps, your body getting ready to ovulate. It usually happens a couple of days before you ovulate. Although, this is not a professional's advice. If you are concerned about it, please go see a doctor. But for reference:
day 1-7 AF
day 12-14 most fertile days
day 13-15 ovulation (usually day 14)
day 1-7 AF
day 12-14 most fertile days
day 13-15 ovulation (usually day 14)
