period cycle counting

You can track this by counting back 14 days from your last period. Because the time between ovulation and getting your period can only be 14 days. If your period is ever late. It's because you ovulated late.

I'm at 36 in still did not start my May period do I keep counting like tomorrow with be 37

What do you mean by "counting down"? You ovulate approximately 14 days before your period. Because you're irregular you won't know when you ovulate unless you use some form to determine when you ovulate. Watch your body, listen to your body. You can check for cervical discharge, you can take your temp (BBT) or use OPKs. Using TWO methods will increase your chances of pinpointing ovulation. First day of blood flow is cycle day 1 (CD1). The next day is CD2, then CD3, etc.

and put a 2 on the next day and 3 on the third day and so on and so on, keep on counting the days on the calendar until your period starts AGAIN...on that day start over at number one and voila, you know how long your cycle is...if you mark 28 days on the calendar before you start another period, it's a 28 day cycle...if you want to know when your ovulating, thats a little trickier, it's usually around day 14 for a 28 day cycle, but thats not gospel...

The day after ur period starts is day 1 and ur cycle ends on first day of next period. So if mine starts monday, day one is Tuesday.

you measure the length of your cycle by counting from the first day you start your period, so the 27 oct is day one, then it finishes on the day before you start your next period, so if your next period started on the 25 nov, you would have a 29 day cycle, you would generally ovulate anywhere from day 12-18 of that cycle, you work that out by also counting the days from when you started your period, also keep an eye out for fertile cervical mucous, overay cramps etc, that would give you an indic

Unfortunately this morning (day 9) I got my period, do I start to count my next period from today or will it be starting 9 days ago? I was to be sure we make love when I am more fertile. Please help.

The tracker is counting the first day of bleeding as the start of my cycle? Is that correct? or should I be counting the spotting as the beginning.? I am just trying to figure out this tracking my cycle.. I definitely though I shoudl be counting the 5th..

Hi Ladies! Ok so my hubby and I are ttc. I have been off if the pill since August2015. My last cycle was dec1st 2015.

I have taken three tests total over this period of time and they have all been (-). This wknd I will test again and if it's still negative I will be making an appt with my dr.

Okay I'm confused do you start counting 28 when you start your period or when you end your period you start counting 28 days?

I really don't know when should i start counting my menstrual cycle, should i start already from the beginning of my period or the last day of my period?

I am not sure how you are counting your cycle--usually the first day of your period is day one of your cycle. Day four would probably put you right in the middle of your period. IF you are counting from the end of your cycle (I used to do that before med school) then that would actually put your ovulation at day 11 or 12 which is a bit early, but within the normal range.

I NEVER, EVER missed a period in my life and I have a true 27 day cycle. My LMP was May 31, 2011 and I was due to start on June 27, which I did not. I am 5 days late and have failed the before and after period HPT's ): My darlin' and I were intimate on the 11, 12, and predicted ovulation day, the 13th. We also were intimate 2 days before my period. I feel pregnant, but i am stripped of the excitement with these negative HPTs.

today is day 1 of My cycle And its going to continue even after my period finishes until I have a period again foe next month and then the cycle will start over If yu have an android yu should download my days

If a woman has a 28 day cycle. Counting the first day of her period as the first day of her cycle and the day before she starts her next period as the last day of her cycle. She would ovulate approximately day 14. If you have a 35 day cycle, you are most likely going to ovulate around day 21 of the cycle. Ovulation TYPICALLY occures about 14 days prior to the start of your period. It is possible to ovulate early or late.

Becuase they count your pregnancy from the 1st day of your last period. So you would start counting on April 20th which was 4 weeks ago today. Becuase every womans cycle varies as to when they ovulate it's easier to have a standard practice of counting from day 1 of the cycle that you conceived during. Technically you would have conceived approximately 2 weeks ago, but for purposes of dating the pregnancy and calculating the due date you are 4 weeks pregnant.

I believe you go by the baby's scanning age

I thought for sure I was pregnant until I got my period today. I thought I did everything right. My last cycle lasted from June 18-22. We had sex during my fertile time June 23-29. We had sex on the 25, 27, 29 and July 4. Are my calculations off, what am I doing wrong?

Cycle = period Whoops

So if you are counting how long you have really been pregnant, it is actually just about 2 weeks, or since you ovulated, however your doctor may add an additional 2 weeks to that (which I consider imaginary weeks) by counting back to the first day of your last menstrual period (cycle day 1). Since sperm can survive in the body for about 4 days (but up to 6) you could be pregnant.

Technically fetus age is 2 weeks shorter than pregnancy age bc they start counting pregnancy age from ur last period and count fetus age from ovulation so if u are 8 weeks pregnant ur fetus age is 6 weeks

day one of your period is the first day of your cycle. So you start counting from there. Then around midway through--- for an average woman, this is on day 14---- you will ovulate. Ovulation is when there is an egg ready to be fertilized.

Thanks for using the forum. Pregnancy occurs when the sperm and egg meet 12-24 hours after ovulation. Ovulation usually occurs about midway through a woman's cycle, or 2 weeks after the first day of her period. Sperm can survive up to 3 days after ejaculation. Pregnancy is calculated over 40 weeks. The weeks actually start counting before conception occurs. We start counting a pregnancy at the first day of the woman's last period.

Just trying to figure out ovulation. Anyone have a 35-37day cycle and know exactly when they ovulated or concieved?

Hi, leelee, yes they do look at embryo size. In fact, if you walked in and told them an entirely made up first day of your last period, and their ultrasound suggested something else from the baby's size, medical practice is to believe what the ultrasound shows and ignore the woman's self-reported first day of her cycle. (For women with really irregular cycles, where they might have a period five weeks before they ovulate, this is not such a bad idea.

Month after month nothing happened. Not until, I stopped counting my cycled days and started counting 13 days after my period started. I used that day for my ovulation day. Amazingly the first time I tried this, I became pregnant. Currently 5wks prg. Try it. Good luck to you!
