Cycle day 1 is the first day of your period. Every woman is different but my doc told me that your fertile days can be anywhere from cycle day 9 to 18. The average ovulation date (when most fertile) is cycle day 14 which is why it is used as a default but you can get ovulation tests to track it if you want. A lot of the pregnancy tests say they can tell if you're pregnant 6 days before your next period is due but I don't believe it. I've noticed (by looking at the pregnancy test pics here and from myself) that women usually get the positive line around 2 - 3 days before they're missed period or after. Hope this helps! The pinching feeling you mention...are you talking about when implantation occurs? The average for that is, I believe, 6 - 9 days past ovulation but, again, it varies for each individual lady. Good Luck!
