Question

Could I be pregnant or just want to be pregnant?

I started my last cycle Jan 12. It ended around the 15/16. My typical length of my cycle is 28 days. So ovulation occurred the 26th(based off the calculator). The 26 and 27 my husband and I tried to conceive. It is now the 6 which the calculator also said is most common for implantation. I've been having a few symptoms but I'm not sure if it's because I'm pregnant or if it's all in my head. Nausea, light cramping, tiredness, a bit of breast tinderness. I did notice spotting right after sex the 26th and Tuesday of last week. My cycle should be here the 10th, but I'm not sure if I can hold out that long.

the length of the bleeding is not relevant (whether 3 days or 7 days or 1 day, it is only day 1 which is cd1).
the calendars give you a very approximate statistically calculated window for your ovulation, they are not really precise, if you are ttc you should use OPKs and temping to know when exactly you ovulate. some may ovulate on cd12, some on cd20. usually it is 14 days before the next period, but these are very rough estimates.
if you are ttc you should bd 3-2-1 days before you ovulate: the sperm needs some 8 hours to travel up the tubes, and the egg when it released only survives for 12 max. 24 hours. so if you ovulate on 26 and bd on 27 you won't "hit" it.
as for the symptoms - they are the same for pregnancy and for PMS during the two weeks after the ovulation as they all come from progesterone, do not read too much into them. if you ovulated and conceived on 26 then you are now 12 dpo and can safely test, the test will tell you whether you are pregnant or not. gl
