[QUOTE="cleo82, post: 824620, member: 33833"] Hi Vicjord, bleeding around the time of your period is more common than you think so it is possible to confuse it for a period. Or you could have a very early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy) where the egg fertilises but doesn't implant properly. (A positive pg test getting lighter each day could point to this). Ovulation tests detect pregnancy hormone if you dont have any pg tests in house and want to put mind at ease. We tried for years so know how disappointing it is when period arrives, and I had several phantom pregnancies along the way which could explain the sore boobs/not getting comfy (or just good old pms!) Tried charting but didnt really work for me, as you have to take temp at same time / before you get up etc and I was forever getting up through night to go to loo / let cat out etc which meant reading wasn't accurate. And when I first started attending infertility clinic they gave me a row for it - said it caused more worry than anything. That said, another thing you can try is doing lh tests more than once a day - mine often peaked in afternoon and would be gone the next morning. (I just bought the cheapies off a well known website starting with A...) Docs generally say it can take a year for a healthy couple to get pregnant, but if you still don't have any signs / surges on lh sticks / evidence of temperature rises after 6 months, maybe ask GP to test hormone levels? There may be drugs available to help you ovulate if need be, but I'm not a doctor and don't know your history so cant say more than that! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
