Mrs Lady D33,

some light cramping can be a sign of ovulation. It will usually only last a few minutes to a few hours. Ovulation symptoms will usually occur 2 weeks after your period and before your next one, so I don't think the discharge you notice right after your period is related.

Enter.,

you should talk to your doctor if you are consistantly noticing blood following sex. It might be a sign of a medical condition, like endometriosis, that needs to be addressed.

Tricia,

most women don't ovulate until two weeks after their period. If you have a short period, say every 20 days instead of 28 days, you might be ovulating now.

But, since you're concerned about it, you should give your doctor a call. You could wait a few days to see if it clears up, but if it doesn't, definitely call your doctor.

MY PERIOD ENDED EXACTLY 1 WEEK AGO. i HAD A YEAST INFECTION BEFORE MY PERIOD AND IT APPEARED TO CLEAR UP. NOW TODAY I DISCOVERED A WHITE, CLEAR, STRETCHY , ODOURLESS DISCHARGE FROM MY VAGINA. AM I OVULATING IS IT SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS, LIKE AN STD.

Keji,

if your husband's sperm has low motility, you may need to use a form of assisted reproduction to conceive, like intrauterine insemination. Low motility means that the sperm doesn't travel as well or as far as it should. Your doctor may be able to recommend some treatment options, but you may still be able to conceive on your own.

Please i have been trying for so long but to no avail. Doctor said me and husband are ok but we have low motility on the sperm .Can we do it still.

Beckyrn, using an ovulation predictor can be helpful, but only if you have a regular cycle and ovulate around the same time each month. If you try to conceive for more than 3 months without any luck, you should see your OB/GYN or a fertility specialist for help. You may need extra monitoring to determine when you ovulate or might need fertility medication.

I am 40 and am just trying to become pregnant. I had a child 13 yrs ago and became pregnant the first month of trying. As I see it the statistics are against me, however I have been using the opk since day 6 of my cycle and have had negative results, but I have spinbarkeit. Could I have missed my LH surge? Can I trust the cervical mucous??

Craigfann15, with your period on 11/22, you would have ovulated around December 5. Sperm can last up to 72 hours so that is cutting it very close to tell you for sure. You'll need to use DNA testing to know definitely.

Marie, sperm can live up to 72 hours so it's unlikely you could be pregnant. To ease your mind, you can take the First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test four days before your period is due.

I had unprotected sex on the 13th of April, a day after I finnished my period. I think I ovulated on the 21st of April. Is there a big chance that I may be pregnant? How long exaclty can the sperm live?

Catherine, if you are ovulating on the 16, having sex on the 9th would have been too early to conceive. If you were taking fertility predictors that said you were fertile then, you might have ovulated a bit earlier this month.

Some women do bleed during ovulation so that might be what you are experiencing now.

I noticed today that I have more CM, but some of it is a little bloody. Is this normal? I am also feel very nauseas.

Also, my husband and I had unprotected sex on the 9th of February. This was considered with in my fertile time. However, ovulation is set to start on the 16th. How can you be considered fertile for 5 days until ovulation, if the sperm does not live longer than 3-4 days?

Jessica, if you took birth control pills, you probably won't ovulate, so you're temperature wouldn't change. The temperature change indicates ovulation, so no ovulation, no change. You will probably need to wait until a month where you are fully off the pills to use the BBT accurately.

Do you have to be free of birth control pills in order to have your BBT read correctly?

Hi Jo, sorry to hear about your Miscarriage. It sounds like you are doing many of the right things by using an ovulation test and timing your intercourse appropriately. It's also good that you have seen a doctor since you realized that you are not always ovulating.

Unfortunately, some Conception Problems are caused by being overweight. Maybe your doctor can recommend some ways for you to lose weight or can advise you on a diet you can follow. Keep trying what you have been doing and see your doctor again for more advice.

Stefanie, The best time to try for a girl in theory is a few days before or on the day you ovulate. But, there is no fullproof way to get a girl. We have some other tips available in the article How to Conceive a Girl.

You should also check out the article Ovulation Predictors and the other tips in this article for details on how to know when you are ovulating.

My fiance and I have 2 boys. Both conceived in January of different years. My oldest was conceived around the end of January 'o5 (but was born 2 months early) and my youngest was conceived around the middle of january '06 (born 1 day before due date). We both were told by several different doctors that we could not have kids (before I gave birth to my oldest son) and now we have 2. But since then we have tried but nothing is working at all. When I conceived my boys we used condoms and I was on the patch with my oldest and we used condoms as well as the pill (not sure which one it was) with my youngest. We are trying with no protection to see if it will work as well. We are trying for a girl but not sure exactly how a predictor of sorts could help (chinese lunar calendar for example). How would I know when would be the best time to try for a girl? On his side of the family there was only one girl conceived and the rest boys, his uncle and aunt had a girl but his dad and his other uncle had all boys (his dad has two brothers, no sister, stephen {fiance} has two brothers and no sisters as well). On my side there is a ratio of approximately 2:1 female to male. Is there any way to determine an assumption of sorts that we would conceive a girl? How do I know for sure when I am ovulating and use it to my vantage of having a girl? If any of it is possible.

Hi Lashundra, it's not uncommon for some women to experience "secondary infertility," which refers to woman who have one pregnancy easily and have trouble when they try for a second. That might be what's going on. The same infertility options like IVF and fertility drugs should be discussed with your doctor.

But, I'm more concerned about your missing cycles. Skipping one isn't a big deal, but it sounds like you haven't had a period since December '06, right? You may have a medical condition like polycystic ovary syndrome. If this is the case, you need to see your doctor soon so she can get you the right treatment. Something like untreated PCOS does cause infertility, so it's best to get checked out soon.

I have been trying to conceive a child for the last two years. I am 22 years old and I have a six year old son. I have not had a cycle since December of 2007, and the one before that was September of 2006. Why cant I conceive a child, what do I need to do?

Although you may be pregnant, itâ€™s probably too early to tell one week after conception. Itâ€™s too early to take a pregnancy test with an accurate result and most women donâ€™t notice any signs until at least two weeks after conception occurs.

But some women do report having symptoms immediately after conceiving, such as swollen heavy breasts. The most common sign of implantation are light cramps and some spotting, but even these signs are so small that many women miss them.

By next week, you might start seeing some signs of pregnancy. Hang in there!
