ok, so normally within a day or two of me posting in here or about what is going on and my chances of being preggo....AF starts up so along with posting my current situation and a few questions we are going to experiment and see if it does it again this time around or not...LOL.
Here it is:
My LMP was March 24th...I have long cycles. I use mymonthlycycles to keep track of things and it says that my average cycle length is 43 days but that is just an average....and right now I am on CD 64...now I have had cycles longer than that but I have my questions for a reason. I have a Fertile Focus...which is a microscope that shows certain patterns when you are going through different parts of O. So, on May 6th (CD 44) I tested and was in the transitional phase (ferning with dots and lines)...so I tested the following day and there was no ferning at all so I would have O'd around the 4th-6th I am guessing. So, here it is May 26th (CD 64) and still no AF but I have been having the cramping off and on for at least a week...no spotting no nothing...and my boobs are slightly touchy but NOTHING like last time I had AF. I tested either the 22nd or 23rd and got NEG. I am thinking of retesting 2morrow (27th).
Ok so there is my story and here are my questions:
1. anyone that has a saliva tester for ovulation...is it possible to get the ferning and not O? Or am I safe to say that I did indeed O somewhere between the 4th and the 6th?
2. Since I would have O'd 4th-6th area...how likely is it that I would still get AF? And if I do get AF would that mean that my LP is really long? Is it even possible to have a LP that is (what would be 21 days as of tomorrow for me)?
3. How likely is it that I am preggo? My bf and I don't use protection anymore but we aren't really trying either.
4. If I base my O day on the ferning that I had then I would be a week late tomorrow if my LP is indeed 14 days...since I tested last on days that I would have only been 2-3 days late would that be too soon for some to show up? Should I indeed test tomorrow and see what the HPT says now? Other than cramping and slight boob aches, not really experiencing any symptoms. I have dizzy spells once in a while but that could be anything, I naturally pee alot so no biggie there, I did have a bre4ak out of white heads which is not normal for me. I am bloated but that could be for numerous reasons too. Any suggestions?
TIA!!


On your first question, here is some interesting info on ferning:

For your second question, AF typically arrives about 2 weeks after ovulation.
