Well I have posted before and got good respsonses from you ladies. I just have a couple more questions if there is anyone out there who could help me.

I know that I ovulated on July 26, I got that transparent slimy stuff (sorry so graphic) That is when you know you are ovulating right????? My husband and I had been together that morning, then that afternoon and that night. I then lied there with my legs up for 20 - 30 minutes. do oyu think our chances are well?? We know that this is our only chance to concieve before he leaves for the army so we are desperately trying :) But now today only 4 days later my BB's are feeling sore and I am extremley tired. I can't eat much either, just little meals here and there. Is it to early to be getting pregnancy symptoms? I can't remember much of my symptoms from my first child, almost 4 years ago.

I took a test this mornign and it was negative (of course) probably way to early to detect.Is there anyone out there who can help me out?

Sore bb's can be from the progesterone that is released after ovulation occurs. Symptoms usually dont start until implanting occurs and that is from 5-12dpo's. 4 days past ovulation is definately too early to detect because implanting hasnt occured yet. I would wait until atleast 12 days after ovualtion to test. You have as good a chance as any for this cycle to be the one. Good luck!!! ~Barb~

Well first off implantation normally occurs from 3-5 DPO so the sypmtoms you are getting at 4 DPO could possibly be due to implanting. The reason you have to wait so long to test is b/c enough HcG has to build up in your system to be detected by a urine test. Quantitive blood tests have been know to detect HcG by 7 DPO. So good luck and take care of yourself.

PS (here is an article posted by Peg Plumbo, the Certified Nurse Midwife on this sight so you don't think I just pulled the info about implantation out of the air)

"Nidation -- implantation of the fertilized ovum into the rich endometrial lining of the uterus -- often causes spotting. Typically, this occurs three to five days after ovulation."
