Hi, my name is Crystal. I'm 27 my fiance is 30. I have 4 children from my ex husband and my fiance and I have been ttc for only 2months now. I usually have cycles that are 29 days in length like clockwork. In April my Af came on the 29th. In May at the time AF was due I was on a cross country trip and Af didn't come until June 5th.....I take it that happened because of stress. So what I'm wondering is...when the heck did I ovulate then. I had EWCM around the 19th which I usually have right before OV....but I'm still having creamy CM and it is usually dry by now. I have been a little crampy all day today but I usually don't cramp until AF is here and in full force. This is all so crazy to me because all 4 of my other children were after only trying for one month and here I am on my 3rd month. What do you guys think about my cycle and OV date??? and when the heck would I test then

cramping could be from implantation...If it were me...I'd probably buy a first response and test..just cause I'm bad at waiting...but you could also wait a week and test.

Thanx Janine...okay so this might sound crazy too, but with my other four children my ex used to say my (sorry tmi) urine smelled strong. And I noticed a couple days ago that it does..I have no other UTI symptoms and was just at my OB/GYN a week and a half ago and everything was fine. I really really want to test but not sure if its the smart thing to do yet.

Well, I've heard it said many times that every pregancy is different, even pregnancies by the same woman. You also have a new set of DNA in the mix, so although your pregancies may be similar, it doesn't mean anything if it's not. Really, I think at this point your only options are to test,or wait. Just remembering a negative isn't necessarily a negative until you get AF. You could also try having a blood test done since those are accurate sooner.

Okay so I tested and it was negative. BUT....if I O'd on the 20th which was my first guess then I'm only 7DPO and that's too early......I hope. I just think its so funny that my other 4 were concieved by one month of trying and now this all seems so difficult. So....I'll retest this weekend and see what happens. Maybe....Hopefully the achy cramps I'm having are implantation cramps. If not, then off to July to try again.
