i have long cycles up to 40 days and last one was 32. How soon would it be possible to conceive, im on day 14 of my cycle and had a lot of mucus 2day and yester. could i have conceived on the 7th dec or is that too early?

i think it does all vary from person to person a great deal. i find this 'ovulating' info hard to understand. ive read other threads that talk about mucus etc and some people say that ovulation takes places 12days after 1st day of period. hmmm im not sure.

Everyone is diff cotton 3. It's generally 14 days before the start of your period! Hard to guage I know. OPK' are very useful although you may need a couple of packas at first!
Also temp charting. Read it all on www.fertilityfriend.com and download handbook on ttc, it's very useful. Persona would be no good for you as your cycles are little longer than they can do. HTHXX

Today i have been having low tummy aches on and off,like a mild gripey period feeling that can be on one side one minute and then the other side. It is day 20 of my cycle so i think i may be ovulating now. My cycles are irregular and are usually quite long (40 days and last one about 32 )so i dont know when AF is due. I think day 11 was too early to have conceived. My left boob is sore too, usually they both are before AF is due though! What do folk think?

Kittie - My GP told me last week that it is quite common apparently! I am waiting for a scan to determine my dates. If I go with the conventional 14 days afterwards then I am 6wks + 5 today. But 2 weeks ago my GP said I was more like 6 wks then..... which would mean I conceived very early in my cycle..... my scan will reveal all hopefully!
