liklihood of being pregnant?
In December, i started my period as usual, on the 14th. In january, i was due to start on the 11th, but didnt. I took some pregnancy tests early, that said negative and saw my doctor on the 15th, i was sure i was pregnant. on the 16th i took a pregnancy test at home at night, and it came back positive! the 17th in the morning i started my period. my doctor sent me for bloodwork but i didnt get it done until the 19th, and havent heard back yet about it. my husband and i decided to start trying to get pregnant, so we have done the deed almost everyday, or at least every other day, the last day we did, was the 31st. i usually am a 28 day cycle girl, and am usually regular, this is the first time i have been late in almost 3 years. in fact i was so regular it was our method of birth control. so i dont know if i could be pregnant, if i am, when would i have conceived, i was supposed to expect my period on the 11th, but it didnt actually come until the 17th, so would i have ovulated on the 31st, maybe before, or not yet? because i do want to be pregnant, but we didnt do the deed yesterday, so should we do it today?
Hey there, hun. All this stress. :(
In all honestly, my advice would be to leave this forum and check out this one: Fertility - http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/96.
I am not trying to get rid of you! But, for you, I think it would be an community of support for women in exactly the same situation as you -- trying to conceive. Some of them have been trying to conceive for years.
For most women, conceiving takes time. Do you know that if everything goes perfectly this cycle, you only have a 30% chance of getting pregnant, and that's if you have sex on your 2 most fertile days? If you have sex outside this window to your 5 medium-fertile days, your chances drop to 10%. Outside this, chances are 0. In fact, my doctor said he wouldn't even discuss fertility issues until I had been trying without success for 6 months.
It takes a strong couple to embark on this road, and you have to prepare yourself for patience. I know this is easier said than done - lol. I know you can do this though.
Check out the threads called "Women of Strength." There are so many supportive women on there who can be your cycle buddies on your two week wait (waiting to take your pregnancy test). They can give you advice on software, if you don't like the charts they have here.
It's just my advice - in fact, I was a member of that forum until I fell pregnant and headed over here. I will hold out hope for you this month, and feel free to do whatever you'd like. Of course, we'll miss you if you decide to go. I think you would benefit from joining a community in your same position. I think it would settle your fears a bit and give you the encouragement to thrive in however long your journey to conception takes you.
I think you should hold onto this though: look at the diversity on this board. We have women who fell pregnant easily, all the way to women with a longer journey who accomplished it via IVF.
The point is, we all ended up here, pregnant! And you will too!
My heart goes out to you and I hope this helps, sweetie. Best of luck no matter what you decide!

ok and another, i just tried to update my tracker, and i cant figure out how to put temperature in.today its 96.9, and i have tracked it on another site, but dont know how to enter it here, and what does tww mean? it says that on my ticker, its pink now instead of purple and says tww, 10 dpo.
heres a question............how many dpo was it that you tested positive? i took a test today, cause i think it is 10dpo for me, i was gonna wait til the 12th but im anxious, so ill take another on the 12th and if that is negative as well, then i will take one on the 14th, which is the day i am due to start my period. but im wondering when all who are pregnant tested positive on an hpt.
im almost 6 weeks and i had no implantation bleeding at all. the only reason i knew i was preg beforei took the test was sore boobs and cramps, but remember all pregs are diff some women have no signs of early pregnancy at all. this time when me and my husband were trying we didnt do it but a couple of times bc i was tired of "trying" i think its all in luck. i hope your pregnant! Dont freak urself out bc if u arent pregnant your period can be late and it could make u think that you are preg..and ive heard that sometimes when u want to be preg really bad and thats all u think about u can bring preg false preg symptoms on. just try to relax and just keep on doing it! they say sometimes u should do it every other day to let the sprem regenerate! so maybe that week break isnt a bad thing. good luck and keep us updated!
wow i feel like i want to cry..........i want to tell myself that i should be pregnant, according to my cycle, but i feel like i missed my chance, but i dont know how, but i have no symptoms that i am pregnant, and its strange, cause i should be past ovulation yet i am having signs of ovulation all over again..........the egg white mucus, temperature drop, i am extremely, well the only word that really fits, is horny lol sorry if its tmi. but according to my cycle i should have ovulated on the 31st, and we dtd, on the 27th,28th, 29th, 31st and the 2nd.......and then not again until this morning, which is the 9th. and quite a few times before the 27th as well, such as the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 25th......we did it a lot, trying to make sure we didnt miss, but then i didnt think about what if i hadnt ovulated yet, and we didnt do it for a whole week. 3-8th. if i did ovulate and fertilize, i should be implanting now......yet i have no implantation bleeding, did you all that are pregnant have implantation bleeding? trust me ive been looking for it today is cycle day 23 for me, and 9 dpo (estimated). idk, im wondering what my chances are of being pregnant, but i dont have a reliable chart to check, because i dont have a reliable chart that i can put in all of my information, including when i had sex..........any advice all?
ok i am hoping today or tomorrow i have some sort of sign of implantation, cause its 8-9 dpo for me. i should have ovulated on the 31st. so, waiting impatiently for implantation, and then to take a test on the 12th, and if that is too early i will take another on the 14th, and if that doesnt show up one on the 16th. i have 3 tests, so i have to make em count lol. i feel totally obsessed! its consuming me! lol
