been tracking my cycle for past 3-4 months before starting to try,

1 month ago stopped using condoms,my cycles seem to be 23-24days long with period medium lasting 3-4 days, however tracking mycycle this month into day 27 had what i though period pains but still by day 3 no period (well not a usual one) I had a very faint spotting, so took pg test (was only a cheapo poundland packof three) and came up negitive when did i did it day 27,day day 28and 29,

Never have missed a period before so



1)do you think the pg test incorrect



2)if possible cycle up the wall (never has been before and not stressed or anything) how do I recalucate when ovulating again.

due to my calucations (and internet sites) i would be next fertile from tues13th may.





anyone help really confused

Hello,

Ok - your cycle length is the whole thing (your period days as well as the rest), this might effect the results you get from the ovulation calendars.

You can't really tell if you're ovulating on the days those calendars say because they just tell you the date that most women would ovulate on.

If you want to chart your ovulation you can use OPKs (ovulation predictor kits) which work a bit like pregnancy tests, they measure hormone levels in urine. You could also / or chart your waking temperatures using a basal thermometer. You can use a website like FertilityFriend / MyMonthlyCycles to help you work out when you're ovulating.

With regards to testing - if you can leave it a couple of days and try again, your hormone levels might not be detectable yet. If you're really worried you could go to your drs and ask for a blood test.

hope you get you soon x
