ok this is crazy but i really need to know. i am married and my last period was on the 29th of February. i have intercourse everyday without fail. on the 23rd of March i had intercourse with a stranger when my husband was away on a one day long trip. i figured since i was expecting my periods in less than a week, it was alrite to have it without protection. the next day- the 24th- my husband came back and we had intercourse and evertyhing was hunkydory. on the 22nd it was my husband, on the 23rd a stranger and on the 24th again my husband. just one night of aberration. today is the 1st of April and ive been tested positive. 9 days since i had intercourse with the stranger. now who's child is this? is it possible that this could be the stranger's child- i dont even know his name!! pls reply asap! i really need to find out.
Are you serious?
Does your husband know you sleep around? Another it is NEVER ok to have sex with a stranger and NOT use a condom. You're just asking for trouble if you do. That's common sense., not rocket science.
You won't know unless you have a paternity test taken. Sometimes those can be taken at some point further into the pregnancy. However, you'd have to explain to your husband as to why you need his blood for the test.
Another way to maybe figure out is to know your cycle. If you have a 28 day cycle, you would've released an egg the 14th day of your cycle. Regardless of the length of your cycle, the egg is usually release 14 days prior to your next period. Sperm can live in the body for up to 5-7 days sometimes. So say you had sex on the 23rd with the stanger--well since there was no 29 days in February this year, it would've started on the 28th or the 1st of March. Not the 29th day of Feb as you stated. You would've more than likely gotten pregnant around the 14th of March. So it would be safe to say it's your husband's child.

Hi all,
I have a 23 day cycle and this was the first attempt for a baby..
I had sharp pains..almost like somebody is piercing you at intervals..around ovulation 8 days back. and then I had the same cramps day before yesterday night. It was on the lower right side..just near the hairline...same sharp pain..that went on and off for about 10-15 mins. It was nothing like the menstrual pain..and I had no spotting or bleeding. Does that mean there was implantation.. .when can I take the test..my periods should start after 2 days. since I have a short cycle..would that be a sufficient time for HCG level to build up?
anybody?

I also had the same thing this morning. It didn't start until I woke up, but lasted about 30min. It was like ovulation pain just a lot more intense! Today is 7 dpo, and my husband and I tried around ovulation time.....I'm hoping. But my mom, a nurse, said it could also be endometriosis :-( I also felt a little less severe pain yesterday afternoon at work, but I didn't worry too much about it....I thought it was probably a cyst...since I know I have them. Oh I also took my first round of Clomid 50 this month, but the Dr. said it didn't work BUT I did ovulate on my own anyway.
Sorry so long.

This talks about the buildup of hormones and how quickly they build. So it will depend on the sensitivity of the test you are using as to how soon after implantation you would be able to tell.

Implantation occurs between 6 to 12 days after ovulation. Implantation spotting during this period of time would let you know that your egg is implanting. (6 days is almot a week before your period is due, 12 days is very near the day your period is due, which can be confusing). I read that after implantation it takes 1 to 2 days before the egg produces the hormone detected by the HPT and it is advised to wait a week after that to be sure your result is correct but you can test before of course if you're anxious but you may get a negative result. Each cycle is different, each pregnancy is different. I use ClearBlue Fertility Monitor to determine ovulation accurately and increase the odds of pregnancy and I also use the Ovusoft software and the 'Taking Charge of your Fertility' method (charting, etc.).
For my first pregnancy I ovulated on Day 12, had implantation bleeding 6 DPO, 7 and 8 DPO. I tested positive on 18DPO (day 30 of that cycle, my cycles are very regular and usually 27 days). I did not test earlier than that. I did retest 2 days later, just to confirm, and got another positive result. For this cycle, I ovulated on Day 16, I had implantation spotting 12 days later (12DPO and 13DPO). I took a test on 12 DPO and it was negative (one day after my missed period Day 28). It was too early because the egg had not implanted yet! I noticed the slight spotting that night! I will retest in a few days or maybe in 6 days (18DPO) to see if I get the positive (that would be Day 34 of my cycle). I am almost sure I am pregnant because I am never late but I am anxious to confirm. Let's wait and see.
All this to say that you should test at least two days after you implant (and probably more) and the day you implant will vary for each person and in each pregnancy. You may also not know when your egg implants if you do not experience or see any spotting (it is often just when you wipe and very light pink).
Good luck to all,

don't be so mean. We all want a baby and are just trying to help.
most woman will not get spotting but i know i spotted a few weeks later i found out i was preg with my daughter.
so yes........ spotting between periods most of the time means it's implantation bleeding. Unless your periods are irregular already.
I have had spotting again and i think i may be pregnant. my daughter is almost 2 so im a little worried weather if am or not cause she's still young.
..........................................................................................................
(Feelings the past 2weeks)
*nauseous
*cramps
*annoyed
*a little tired
*constipated
*back aches and neck
I had my period september 16th it's (now october 12th)....... i have
not gotten my period yet, but ooctober 23-23-25 i spotted really light ... i mean i went to the bathroom and i wiped there was a little there then i went again an hour later and nothing no bleeding... later during the day id go again and see it there again. it was just a little odd..... i i know wev'e had sex latley but we use condoms reliougiously....so i dont understand how i could be going through this...
I am worried, iv'e take 3 tests and none of them showd positive so i think it's too soon? what do you all think?

I don't usually reply to these but I have to comment on the last person who replied about the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." You made a false statement when you said that ten high temps after ovulation means you're pregnant... this is NOT true and it's also not what the book states. The truth is that if you know your usual luteal length then you know you are pregnant if your temp remains high past those days. For example; my luteal length is exactly 14 days so if I do not get my period 14 days after ovulation, I will know I am pregnant. Please try not to pass on false info to women who are trying to get pregnant... only state the facts because this is a stressful time for all of us! Thanks!!
I have a question for you grls....I had sex on the 29th of Dec., which i found out after is was my most fertile day. On Jan. 2nd I had light pinkish discharge but just for that day and was hardly nothing.....never came back either. Alittle confused here. I have been pregnant 3 times already but never had this happen before....My next date for AF is Jan. 9 or 10th. I just have the feeling of bloatness sometimes and stomach feels wierd. Has this happened to anyone? Would it be to early for implantation?
Thank You.
Thank You.
since you guys are talking about this i have a question i have posted on here so many times no one will answerr!! okay to make a long story short back in feb. of 2007 my periods flat out stopped. in april went to the doc. for a pap. everything was fine and dandy. the reason for the stop of my prd was they couldnt keep regulating b/c i am so small at the time i was 4'10 and 80 or so pounds.. i have always been small and petite.. she said this was normal for athletic woman.. wich i am not lol.. but she said its b/c their bodies are so fit and weigh so little. so she put me on birth control. she said after about 6 months my periods would regulate along with a little weight gain. i didnt start my pills untill june 07.. thats a whole nother story! well i went on them and in july i missed alot to be safe i took a prego test before starting them again in aug. the test was positive .. so were the next 5. i went to the doc to hear i was not pregnant... i didnt know i wanted a baby until the exact moment she said i was not having a baby it broke my heart ... soo i decided to keep on the birth control to get my periods back so i could have a baby.. i started them in sept. 07 its now jan 08 as you know thats only 4 months.... my best friend of 10 years is now 6mnth pregnant with a baby girl... can you imagine my distressss!ah im 300% happy for her and i love her but me and my fiance want a baby badly..
thats the end of that story... i know it was long! lol sorryy...
the point of this is .... does ovulex really work?
and what are the chances it will work for me? i have been on birthc for the 4 months im not sure if my periods are back yet b/c i havent stopped.. but i have gained at least 12 lbs and i really want a baby.. and i dont think i could handle the heart ache of a negitive pregnancy test.. ive seen so manny before this is not the first time ive tried to have a baby during this whole mess... sooo can some one please try and help.. will ovulex give me a good chance of concieving im healthy and young .. and my gyn said nothing was wrong with me.
I have heard about some of the side affects and they dont bother me .. i know you get your money back if they dont work.. but im to afraid of them not working... i just really would like a baby thats all i need to make me happy is a family of my own idc about the money i just want a family with my fiance.. help me please

18 days of high temps does not always mean you are pregnant. I currently have 22 days of high temps past ovulation & my blood beta test was (-) as of yesterday. Corpus Luteum Cysts can cause you to maintain your high BBTs since they still secrete progesterone. Look them up on the net. Just because MOST will be pregnant by the 18th DPO, not all will be.
Just a quick correction: according to Taking Charge of Your Fertility, 18 high temps usually means you are pregnant, not 10.
i want to know how soon after intercourse can your symptoms occur and how soon can i tell if im pregnant. i did it yesterday so.. can someone please help.
