I have a question. I can see many people on these boards are quite well versed in charting, and since I am not I thought maybe someone could give advice. I am however very attuned to my body's signals and something is not right. My period is due sat. aug. 23rd and my cycle is 28 days every month almost to the hour!!! :) However I am not experiencing any pms or period symptoms which NEVER happens. Imean they are like clockwork 4 -5 days before every AF.

So my question is since my SO and I have been BDing like crazy the past month is it possible that I O'd later in my cycle preventing the advent of AF but too early to feel PG symptoms? I am sorry is this sounds complicated but my body is just wierd right now. I mean if I don't get AF on Sat. and I test sun. or Mon. I could still get a neg. because I O'd and conceived later right? It has been suggested that I O morethan once a month by my doc.

Sorry so long I just don't know what to feel about this and The charting is over my head for now. Any thoughts?

Thanks everyone and pounds of baby dust on all who want it! ;)

Are you trying to get pg? There are many women who are pg and don't have any symptoms until well after they have found out. Since your cycle is 28 days, you fit that theory of Oing in the middle of your cycle. Whether it's true or not, who knows. The best way to know when you have O'd is by charting. You should start that on the first day of your AF. You can tell when you O'd because your temps will go above cover level and remain there for at least 3 consectutive days.

As for Oing twice a month, can't help you there. I read the report on it, but also read that if you do O again, it's usually within 24 hours from Oing the first time.

Good luck and hope you get the answer you're looking for.

Yes it is possible you could be pregnant and maybe you o'd later than you originally thought.This happened to me with one of my pgs. the day af was do my hcg was 5.3 meaning it was around the time of implantion. My normal Luteral phase is 11-13 so I had to O a week later than I normaly would of.This is why some woman dont get a +++ up to a week after af!You need to learn to start charting if you do not get a ++ this month.good luck and let me know how it goes!
