Default The Age Old Question: Could I be...???

Hi Girls! I'm in a tizzy trying to not let myself get desperately hopeful. Still, could it be possible or am I being unrealistic?

I had my first day of my last period the night of Aug 9-10 (when do I start counting Day 1? Aug 9, or 10?). I made love August 17, 18, 19...with the 19 being the 10 OR the 11 day, depending on where I begin calculations. Could not keep trying because my man had to go away for a few months. This was th ebest we could do :-)

Six days later I got a small watery-pinkish discharge and some cramping (implantation bleeding? pyschosis? :-) Some days I think I feel a little queasy and I go to the bathroom a lot more, but it might be just my imagination. Of course, home pregnancy test is false so far, its only been a little over a week.

Any ideas?

A lot of women with 28 day cycles ovulate 14 days after their period starts. You count the first day of your period until you get to 14 days. If your period started on the 10th you probably ovulated around the 23rd. Hope that helps.

I am on almost the same cylce. I started the 7th of August. I tried the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st. I think this was right when I ovulated. But now, a week before I am due to get a vist from AF, I am crampy and have a backache (not normal until the day before). I have 28 day cycles, and I never get my AF early (especially not a week) sometimes it even comes late. I want to test, but I am pretty sure it is too early. Maybe the beginning of next week. We will have to keep in touch since we should be tewsting around the same time. I don't think I am though because I don't know what all of the cramping and backacge would be. Keep me updated.

My last cycle started Aug 14. I used an ovulation kit to be sure I got the days right, and my peak days were the 24th and 25th (days 10 and 11). My cycle isn't always like clockwork, so I wasn't really surprised at that. We tried 23, 24, 25, 26. My cycles are usually about 26 days long, but have been as short as 23 and never more than 28. So now, with a whole bunch of symptoms, I'm waiting to test too, because it's still too soon to tell. I'm in the same boat.

As far as if your actual ovulation came later than day 10, you can still get pregnant even if ovulation is up to 3 days after you last had sex.

Thanks girls. I should know pretty soon as my period is supposed to come tomorrow if I'm not pregnant!

Britty: I had exactly the same spotting and symptoms. And the same negative tests. You should trust your body, but you cannot know for sure until after you've missed your period. Wait until after Sept 16 to test again. Good luck!!!
