Advice needed, crazy cycle!

Hi C2P community,

I'm back after a long break from the site. I must first warn you that this is going to be quite a long post as I need some advice.

This cycle (my fifteenth cycle of TTC our first child!) we haven't been using OPK's or temps, just trying not to stress too much and forgetting about it (easier said then done right?). So this cycle started as normal day 1 of AF on the 28th of October 2014. AF lasted 5 days as usual. My cycles usually range between 26-28 days but because the last two cycles have been 26 days my calculator put my ovulation date on the 9th of November. Keeping up?

So obviously we baby danced leading up to the 9th and on the 9th and then again on the 12th. After the 12th I didn't bother recording when we bd but I remember wanting to bd more past the 12th than when I thought I was ovulating.

Now I have just been looking through my symptoms in past cycles and nearly all of the symptoms I recorded on DPO 16/17/18 were recorded on DPO 9/10/11 in other cycles. This makes me think that I ovulated a week late around the 16th. Then there is the fact that I was wanting to bd more around this time . Then I had some very minor (hardly noticeable) pink spotting in my CM today which would coincide with ovulating late. Does this sound right? Just going off my symptoms here?

I have taken three clearblue digital tests. One on 13DPO, one on 14DPO and one on 17DPO...all BFN. When should I do another realistically? I HATE doing them because I get REALLY upset when they come up BFN and it makes me so depressed but when I have a pack of them in my drawer it's kind of hard not too. But now I don't have any in the house.

Another thing we did as a bit of fun is my mum went to see a psychic and he said that a baby will be born in July next year from one of her daughters. Now that would make conception last month or this month. One of her daughters is NOT trying (my sister, I asked), I am obviously trying, her daughter in law JUST had a baby girl and isn't trying. My due date (if I am) would be beginning of August and our family is known for early births. My sister in laws little girl was due Oct 8th 2014 and she came on Sep 29th 2014 for example.

So what does everyone think? Anyone want to guess at when I ovulated...9th/12th/16th or any other date?

Me and the OH have both said if AF hasn't arrived by the 29th we will go out and get another test to use on the morning of the 30th.

Fingers crossed and baby dust to all who are TTC. x
