I need help analyzing my cycle... please!
Here's my disclaimer (so you're not too annoyed!):
- it's our first cycle TTC
- I did not chart or temp... I know, I'm just asking for it!
- I did not use an OPK
- I have not read TCOYF u
- Used Pre-Seed
Go ahead and yell at me now, but I had to get that off of my chest. I tend to get overly worked up about things, over-analyze, and obsess. That being said, I decided to stay as laid back as possible during this first month of trying. Now I'm going to list my tentative dates of things, and I just wanted opinions as to when the earliest I could "safely" take a pregnancy test. I know the obvious answer would be 5 days before my missed period or wait until I miss my period, but I'm getting antsy, of course. So here's my scoop:
There are two things to clear up first, when was my first cycle day?? I started lightly spotting on March 8th-9th. I officially started with full on business on March10th. So, which one is cycle day 1, I know there are different theories about this??
According to this, I am either on cycle day 22 (assuming March 8th was CD1), or I am on cycle day 20 (assuming March 10th was CD1).
Since I didn't know exactly which day I would be ovulating, we started doing the deed on March 16th- 27th, every other day. Definitely need a break!! I "should" be starting my period on or around April 6th or 7th. Of course I am having ALL of the phantom symptoms and reading into them every second of everyday. I hope this is fairly normal, considering it's our first cycle TTC??? Can anyone else remember doing this to themselves? I think my husband thinks he's in for looooong haul 
Alright, after all of that info, what day do you think is a good time to test?? Of course I'd love to do it tomorrow morning, but I don't want to be disappointed if is too soon and it is automatically negative for that reason alone. I know the odds of conception this first month is not very good and I'm prepared for that. If it didn't work this time, I'm going to make a gradual (not so anal) move forward and use OPK for this next cycle. Hopefully less questions for you girls! I know this predicament may have you looking at your caledars or doing some math, but your help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks for any help you can give me!!
Have a good Monday!

I think it's too early, but that may be because I didn't get a BFP until something like 16 or 17 DPO after getting a negative as late as 14 DPO (and that was with twins).
