Ovulation Calendar / Pregnancy planner
When are the best days to try for a baby?
(Today is Friday, February 17 2012)
About this ovulation calendar
Enter the first day of your cycle,
the length of your menstrual cycle in days, and
press the `Tell me the dates!` button.
The days given are based on the average. Take plus or minus 3 days to be sure, also make sure you've read the following note.
Note that you are most fertile around the ovulation, the day your egg is released. This doesn't mean that you aren't fertile on other days!
You can get pregnant at any day of your cycle:
`Safe` Days In Menstrual Cycle
Guidelines for getting pregnant -- or avoiding pregnancy -- usually assume an average woman is fertile between days 10 and 17 of her menstrual cycle. But researchers at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences have demonstrated what some accidentally pregnant women may have long suspected:
Only about 30 percent of women actually have their fertile window entirely within that timespan.
In fact, the researchers found, there is hardly a day in the menstrual cycle during which some women are not potentially fertile. Women in this study were of prime reproductive age (most between 25 and 35) when the menstrual cycles are most regular. The window of fertility should be even more unpredictable for teenagers or for women approaching menopause

kristenNwayne; please have faith that the other baby will make it. Pray a lot and i will pray for you. Dont just believe the Dr.'s report easily like that, believe the report of the Lord. He alone will make a miracle that your baby lives and survives and defiles the law of the world. Speak to your baby(because they hear you know) that he/she will live. Just believe please. dchatterbox, im so sorry for your loss. Im sure its not easy, but God will give you strength to go through this. mfarmer, who knows, you might just get pregnant when you least expect it, when your body is not stressing and really not trying to be pregnant, might be the best time that it may decide to be pregnant. Baby dust to us all. Im waiting for AF to finish and im so hopeful for next month. Blessed day ladies!

ok so tonight i am WAYYYYY nausiated.
its been such a long day for us. we were up at 445 this morning for my son spencers surgery. it went very well. the roughest part was the drive home 9about an hour and a half) where he projectile vomited alllll over the place. poor baby. but the smell.oh the smell. i was not dealing with it too well cleaning that up! then my other son johnny must have had a sour stomach because after nap time today he puked all over me, the recliner, and the living room.
the joys of being mama! lol.
i am purty sick tonight. dont feel well at all. plus my hub and i got into an argument so im feeling a little sad.
rough day.
tomorrow is 11 dpo for me. af is due monday. hope she dont come so i dont feel crazy like its all in my head. my tum is so upset i really do feel like gettin sick. and its been heavier in the evenings for me.

Hey, you guys. I was only in here for maybe a week before we got pregnant. Looks like I'm back. I'm coming from the 10 week forum. Found out last week that there were twins, one stopped growing at 5 weeks, the other at 8 weeks. It was confirmed today and the 8 week one has shrunk a week and the 5 week one is already vanishing; couldn't even see the yolk sac anymore. They call it a missed miscarriage, which is rare. Although the miscarriage part hasn't happened yet. Going to wait a week to see if it happens on it's own, but I doubt it will since my body still thinks it's pregnant and my pregnancy symptoms have gotten worse instead of lessened. So if the babies haven't passed by our appointment next week I'll probably take the meds to bring on the miscarriage, or I may get a D&C.. not sure yet. We'll be ttc'ing again once these babies have passed through

Didnt manage to get bloods done as my DS 14mths was just to unwell for me to even worry about doing them. I have been up all night with him which isnt helping the fact I am really tired anyway. Getting plenty of dizzy spells but overall, im still unsure what the outcome will be.

dchatter - So glad to see your name! I was worried about you. I used the TTCAL forum for about 2 months after I lost my last one. It was really helpful to see that there were so many others in the same situation and I wasn't alone. After a while though it started to get me down because the hearing the stories of the newcomers would make me re-live my experience all over again and I couldn't keep doing that to myself. They really are a great group of women though... just like in here:) I just found this forum a little more positive after my healing began. Good luck to you sweetie!! MFARMER - Okay, so if you take a break from TTC, you still have to keep us updated!! I don't want to lose touch at this stage.

ok sooooo i did a little research this morning. i know that there are early tests, BUT theres only a 10 percent chance of getting a positive at 10 days dpo.
the average time to get positive hpt is 13 days dpo.
im going to try and just relax. i dont want this to become an obsession. it isnt healthy. i have until sunday and im gonna drive myself bananas.

so now we are 10 days dpo and the dollar store hpt is STILL negative.
i was so nausious last night driving to church i was scared i was going to get sick on my self. all through church i was fighting it, and pretty much all night. i even went to the grocery store and got ginger ale, ginger snaps, and peppermint candy. and sure enough this morning i am sick to my stomach too. i cant tell if its nerves though. my son spencer goes in this morning for surgery at 730 in tampa. my poor little baby bear :( makes mamas heart hurt.
i am so discouraged about the bfn. i feel like crying. this CANT be all in my head???????

angelic- keep us updated! Chatter- i am so sorry! :( If I am not pregnant this time I am also going to be taking a TTC break.... My plan is to find another job and then buy a house in Dec, and then start TTC after... However my eyes were not seeing thing as I thought and I do have a little bit of red when I wipe so either AF is on her way (which would be weird because I am only 9DPO) Or its implantation..... WHO KNOWS!?! as soon as i have a plan set just my luck I will get pregnant. lol

i used a dollar store one, which i read picks up low levels. but im still only 9 dpo. i really hope i am pg but i have alot of swelling in my legs and im pretty bloated which i usually get before af gets here.

Kimkayb...I have 2 sick children home today so while I am at the Drs I may ask them to do HCG blood levels.
kimkayb -

ANGELIC-If you have that many true symptoms then that means hcg is building up. My friend just got her bfp at 9dpo, and have also seen them at 8. Every pregnancy is different. I got my last bfp @ 11dpo, and it had very visible lines :)

kimkayb, id like to think I was preg, but still 1 week b4 I can test, I have never had an early test result, they have all come on the day AF is/was due. Chatterbox, I am sooo sorry for your loss, I cant imagine how it must feel to lose 1 baby let alone 2. I am sending you LOTS and LOTS of LOVE and PRAYERS. **STICKY BABYDUST** to you all...just save me some, I cant aford to be without any..hehe

ANGELIC-You are pregnant girl!!! Have you tested yet? CHATTERBOX-So sorry about your babies. Just fyi, we have a forum ttc after loss and we're a great bunch of women if you ever have questions or support. MOMMYRYAN-What kind of hpt did you use? You could very well be testing early. Don't give up hope yet! SUNFLOWER-Pre-seed is awesome....just make sure you only fill the applicator about 1/3 to 1/2 full. And that will be plenty :)

Hi everyone! It is so good to see all of the familiar names again! I am sorry it has been so long since I have been on, but there has been a lot going on. As most of you probably know I finally got pregnant and found out it was twins. Well, everything looked good at first, heartbeats and all, but I had lost one by 7 weeks and lost the other by 8 weeks. So i had a D&C on last Friday. I am doing well. I think we will not especially try to get pregnant again, but we will let it happen if it does. I have just been too obsessed with getting my baby and I have to chill out about it now, but I will be joining ya'll again. While I am so happy to see all of the familiar names, I am sorry that so many are still here. Sorry, but good luck to everyone.

decided to test today (5 days before af is due) and bfn.
does this mean im not pg? you would think with all of my symptoms it would have been strong enough to show up. but i guess not.
i am miserable.
and now i have a backache. im so confused
