i think you'll be okay having sex on the last day of ovulation. especially since youre having symptoms

spotting doesnt occur in every early pregnancy. only some.

id test after you miss your period but thats just me. i dont like to see false negatives.

Thank you for your reply, I took a test this morning (with Crystal Clear) at 9dpo and there were two lines but one was faint. So then I bought First Response and it was a BFN, so now I'm confused :/ I will post test when I get home and you are right I hate seeing Negatives too.

What kind of calculator? You ovulate only on one day of your cycle. Do you use Ovulation tests or do you chart your BBT? If you had a faint line it might be positive. Just wait few more days before you test again. Your egg lives up to 24 hrs and sperm lives 3-5 days, so you can get pregnant from sperm left from intercourse 5 days ago, or you can get pregnant on the day of your ovulation. I hope you are pregnant now, but if not start charting your BBT or OPK, so you know when are your 2 most fertile days.
Good luck!!

Hi Twitybird, I just used a calculator like this one http://www.babycenter.com.au/tools/ovu/results/?_requestid=568481

I am really new to all of this and my hubby and I just started trying so I am learning of all these new things. My period started Dec. 11, I have a normal 28 day cycle therefore I should ovulate between 22 & 27 of Dec? So does that mean I can only get pregnant on one of the the days between 22 & 27? Also, how do I test my BBT is it with a normal thermometer? I am posting a picture of my test now, let me know what you think ;)
