I'd say so as implantation would only be starting if at all? But who knows!!!

Also, can someone help with OV date for December month. I have heard that pinpointing OV backwards from the period date is easier but how do we do that? For example, 1st day of my period was 7 December and first day of next period was January 3rd. I thought I ovulated on 19th December...Which is 13th day from the first day of period in december but counting back from 3rd jan (first day of second cycle) ....it is 16th day...could this be incorrect?

Can someone please help?

I have never counted backwards to get my O date, but I guess if you know how long your LP is typically, then you probably could do that. My LP is usually 12 days, but occasionally it will be 11 or 13, so even that isn't exact. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I'm the same way as Hobber...even when I know what day I've ovulated based on temping/tracking my lp still varies by a day or two from month to month so counting backwards doesn't work for me :/. Not sure why my lp isn't consistent, but maybe for others it is.

I guess it depends what day implantation occurs! Could have been an early one...or twins! :twins:

Looks like I missed my OV day bcoz was using expired smileys OPKs. I had all the other symptoms till Friday with lower abdominal pain max on Friday night. Next day on saturday, Cervix moved down and by evening Saturday the mucus had turned creamy and all along my OPKs were negative. Last night, it just came to my mind whether OPKs are expired and yes,......they were. I had bought it 6 months ago. I am feeling stupid for not checking it and, was really sad that I will have to go through another month of torturous drinks and food. I guess even after that it's in god's hand to get me pregnant.

another thing that I noted was my OV was 2 days early and that may be contributed to grape fruit juice and royal jelly/polen bee that I was eating. However, the abdominal pain was less severe than other months...I also took alka setzler on friday(the day i observed pain). And, I read it has something to relieve the pain so may be the pain was lessened due to alka setzler. I generally feel hot around the peak time but this Friday was dealing with a deadline at work and really stressed out. So, did not feel any thing ....stress does spoil the whole thing.

I am trying to be positive....and the plan now is
1) continue with healthy diet not necessarily very high calorie...as I have already gained almost 10 lbs already.
2) will do drinks only from AF to OV....means I will stop the nasty drink now till AF comes.
3) Will continue with supplements as before.

Please suggest me if anything else I should be doing.

So sorry about the opks :(. Your plan sounds great! Have you been using mucinex too? Helps with EWCM.

I bet the Dr wouldn't be able to tell you right away about the test anyway, right? You might have to wait, so it would give AF time to arrive if she is going to...hope she doesn't!

I would think it would give you a little break from the stress of not knowing if the dr, tests you! A blood test can detect a positive much sooner than an hpt, so you could know even if af isn't due for over 5-6 days I think! They get the results back a couple of hours at my dr. Office so pretty short wait too. :fingers:

No idea I have never had a BT for pregnancy before?
