Hiya just wondering anyone else have 29-30 day cycles? When do you ovulate? We had sex on cycle day 16 at the earliest this month. Wondering what my chances are? I'm due on today/ tomorrow and feeling very sluggish 🙈

It all depends on when you ovulate as you only get up to 24 after ovulation has happened. If you ovulated before day 16 then no but if you ovulated day 16 or later then yes. Unlikely day 23 will have made a difference unless you have a very short luteal phase but if you hadn’t yet ovulated then day 16 and 18 could be with a shot

Up to 24 hours after ovulation that meant to say

@BabyBx if you're not tracking your ovulation (with OPKs or temping) I would aim to be having sex every other day from day 9-17 ish. The luteal phase is 'roughly' 14 days. So this would allow for you to be ovulating from day 15-17 ish. This is obviously just an educated guess though!

With my first pregnancy (ended in misc) I ovulated D17 and we had sex on day 15, 16 and 18.

When I fell pregnant with my son I ovulated on D17 again and we had sex day 15,16,17 and 18.

Sounds like you covered all bases!

Sorry, meant to say that I had 29-30 day cycles. You don't always ovulate 14 days before the first day of your period though, so OPK's and taking your waking temps will help you work this out for future cycles :)

Hay wondering if anyone has any experience. I’m due on tomorrow. Haven’t been tracking for the past 2 months to give myself a break as it was taking over our lives. All pregnancy tests including first response have been negative however iv just been to the bathroom and sorry tmi but I have LOADS of lotion like white discharge. I don’t ever get anything like this before my period. I’m
Very regular 27-28 days. I also get awful cramps a few days before my period but iv had nothing. Just headaches. Surly I would have got a positive by now if I was? Especially a first response
