Hi! Some of you might know from reading some of my other posts that I had a miscarriage in August. Hubby and I were going to wait a few months to try again. Started my period on Sep. 16. Absolutely sure of it b/c it was the weekend before our 1 year anniversary. And the period actually came about four weeks after the miscarriage was through. We decided not to "dance" for the next few weeks b/c I wasn't trying to get preg. again so soon b/c I know they say you should wait. Well, about 5 or six days after my "peak fertility" days, we thought it would be safe. Didn't think much of it, though slight possibility of getting pregnant, like maybe 20%, and was pretty sure of my ovulation. Had all the typical signs when I thought I was ovulating. Well two weeks later, no period. Took a test negative. Another week, took another test, positive. Kept taking tests, and they kept being positive and getting darker everyday. Didn't go to the doctor, till I would have been eight weeks. And I didn't even count it from my last period. I counted from my I would have guessed my conception date, which would have been Oct. 5 or 6. When I went to the doctor though, he told me I wasn't even eight weeks yet, I was six weeks and some change. He calculated it and according to the size of the baby, I conceived on Oct. 13 which was only 3 or 4 days before my next period was due. Pregnancy is fine, now I'm 11 weeks and everything is going great. And they act like your fertility window is so small. That's all I ever hear from doctors. About how hard it can be to conceive b/c of how small it is. So that shows that those "peak days" in the middle of your cycle is not always right. I wish science could explain that to me.
