32 day cycle when do you ovulate?
On a normal 32 day cycle the woman will ovulate on or around cycle day 16 from the first day of her period.
When trying to conceive:
If you are trying to conceive on a 32 day cycle, the best time to have intercourse would be cycle days 12-20, every other day. Sperm can live for up to 3-5 days. So having intercourse before you ovulate is a good idea because sperm will already be present when ovulation takes place.
Therefore, if you begin your period on January 1st, then you will most likely ovulate on or around January 18th. So the best time to begin having intercourse every other day are days Jan 12th - Jan 20th.
But, not every woman will ovulate every month. It is extremely common for some woman to have a few months a year where they do not ovulate. This is why many doctors will tell their patients to try for a year to conceive on their own before worrying. If after a year of TTC, if you are not pregnant, contact your doctor for an exam.
Is it normal to miss your period?
No if you missed your period , then maybe you could have not gotten it yet or you might be pregnant!
Answer:It is not normal, but at the same time, it is not abnormal either. Some women are as regular as clockwork, while others are very irregular and may only menstruate a few times a year. What's normal for you is not necessarily normal for another woman, so consider consulting your family physician who knows your medical history.
That said, there are many possible reasons for missing your period, your diet, any medications you use, or your overall health can all affect it. It could also depend on your age. If you are young and have not been menstruating long, it is not uncommon to have irregular periods. If you are older, and nearing menopause, your periods may also become irregular before they eventually stop. If you don't suspect pregnancy, and are still concerned about it, definitely consult your family physician, they should know your medical history and that's what they are there for.
Spotting 5 days before a period and now a day late?
The spotting could have been implantation spotting (when the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus), therefore you should take a pregnancy test to find out if you are pregnant or not.
Can you be pregnant if your period was a week late and then bled for 2 days?
Yes you can be pregnant. Take a pregnancy test and visit your doctor.
Yes, you can still be pregnant as what appeared to be a period may be bleeding associated with pregnancy. The best way to tell is to do a home test, which should be accurate by this stage.
You are 4 days late on your period and clear stuff is coming out could you be pregnant?
yes you could be pregant.
What does it mean if your period is three days late?
You are not possibly pregnant until it is a month late. Don't stress it. Cycles can vary from 28-38 days normally.
If you are pregnant and have your period will a pregnancy test work?
I am 9 weeks pregnant and have continued to get my period fairly regularly throughout this pregnancy. So far I have not got a positive test.
What are the chances of getting pregnant while on your period?
A Few Facts For Everyone:
1. Yes, sperm can live for up to 72 hours.
2. The Egg only lives for 12-24 hours.
3. The female ovulates on approximately the 14th day of her cycle, the first day starting on the FIRST day of her period.
4. Birth Control Pills can affect a woman's cycle (obviously), and can contribute to a woman becoming pregnant on her period(If the pills aren't used correct or if a woman stops using them, it could take a while for the body to get back into a normal routine).
So with these facts stated, let's think a moment... if a woman and a man have sex, let's say, on the last day of her period. And his sperm lives inside her for 3 days..that puts a lot of us on the 8-10th day of our cycle. And most females ovulate on approximately the 14th day, but let's say for whatever reason her body decides to ovulate a few days early. Well... then to me... it is possible to get a woman pregnant on her period, but highly unlikely. Of course the improper use of(or when a woman stops taking) Birth Control Pills can throw off a females hormones, and cause her to ovulate at odd times, increasing the risk of becoming pregnant during her period.
Every female is different. Everyone ovulates at different times and for different lengths of time. NOT approximately the 14th day of her cycle cycle.... that's a little naive to make that assumption. A nice way to know when you are ovulating is to just "look below". If you're beginning to have more cervical fluid down there, then you are beginning to ovulate or just finishing. The days where there's more wet fluid, it is assumed to be the day ovulation takes place.
Can you still be pregnant if you miss your period one month but get it the next month?
Can thrush cause you to have a delayed or no period?
No, thrush will have no effect on your menstrual cycle.
Thrush is a yeast infection that can occur in your vulva and/or your vagina, it's nothing more than a fungal infection so doesn't effect hormones in any way. Your period is determined by your menstrual cycle, a domino effect of hormonal changes between your brain and reproductive organs, this is not effects by a vaginal infection. If your period is late or skips it's due to something else.
If you are going on vacation is there a pill you can take that will stop your period?
Yes, there are various pills that are available. You should speak to your pharmacist, or preferably, your doctor, and they will recomend something for you to delay it. However, if you are on the Pill,by skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the next pack, you will avoid your period for that cycle.
How do you know when your period is too late if you have been stressed?
I would probably wait about 7-10 days then take a home pregnancy test, just in case.
Anything is possible when it comes to pregnancy and your period cycle. I would suggest taking a pregnancy test just to be sure.
Conception is when the sperm fertilizes the egg. This generally happens inside the Fallopian tubes within a few days of intercourse. You can't feel this cellular event.
while you may not feel conception itself many women report flu like symptoms days after conception...then when they miss their periods they put two and two together and realize it was Morning Sickness after conception
Sometimes you will have very light implantation bleeding when the egg attaches to the uterine lining.
If you are pregnant will you still get cramps around the time your period is due?
Sore breasts and cramps are both common in the early stages of pregnancy, so if you are in doubt, get a pregnancy test, it's the only way to know for sure, and it's not reliable until you are at least two weeks late for your period.
I am about 6 weeks pregnant for the first time, and I'm a nurse. It is normal to have sore breasts and many times this will last for the first trimester and sometimes longer as your hormones are changing, also having cramps monthly can be normal too, because your body is use to having periods monthly, so my doctor says that you might have those feelings of cramps every month, just not the bleeding.
What can cause a missed period?
Many things can have an effect on your period being delayed
The following are some of the things (apart from being pregnant, of course) that can have an effect on your period being delayed: mental/physical stress; weight loss/gain; your contraception; infections; and invisible bleeding (which leads you to believe that you have have missed your period).
If your period is late after having had unprotected sex, I recommend taking a home-pregnancy test; you can buy them now to test up to 6 days before you are due. If, however, you have not had unprotected sex, you should see your GP; it's probably nothing to worry about, and around 85% of people have experienced a late period at least once in their life. To be on the safe side, and to put your mind at ease, visit your doctor.

pregnancy. condoms aren't 100% effective.
If you have had a really short period could you still be pregnant?
If you think you are pregnant, you should go buy a test and take it at home. It is likely that stress is keeping you from having a period. Just relax and know that no matter what, everything will work out. It is always possible for someone to be pregnant, but if you have had a period, you probably aren't. Make an appointment with a doctor. There are free clinics all over. I'm not sure where in Califonia, but I'm sure they have them. If you don't fell comfortable doing that just yet, take a home test. I and that everything turns out the way you want it to. Good luck!
If your period is shorter or lighter than usual then you might be pregnant! take a test!
i had a short period only lasted 4 days and really light I'm always getting really short periods and sometimes they are even black period blood

Is it normal for your period to be late just after you become sexually active?
When I first became sexually active my period came and went whenever it felt like. But I always used protection and my period was never regular in the first place. Just make sure you're not pregnant and that should give you some insight.
I am sexually active, and i always use protection. Sometimes my period will be 5 days late, and sometimes my period will be early.
How soon will a blood test show if you are pregnant?
I called and asked my obgyn, and she said a blood test would only be accurate two weeks after your missed period and to only do it as a validation of a home pregnancy test.
A blood test shows before you've missed a period, but at this early stage you would have to have 2 blood tests to show that the hormones are rising as there is quite a variation in normal, and a single test would not show you are pregnant.
Can being sick cause you to miss your period?
well i was sick for just over a week with a really bad cold and a fever and my period was late but I'm not pregnant so I guess it happens..
It's more likely that you are sick and missed your period because you are pregnant. Take a home test or go see a doctor to be sure.
When I was sick one time, my period was really light, almost spotting. I guess it's possible. If your diet has changed in any way, that might affect it too
Maybe. It happened mostly when I was pregnant and feeling sick, but I do remember a couple times where that happened.
Is it possible to be pregnant and have a period one month but miss the next month?
Yes, I am a living example of that I had the period that would be considered my first month into pregnancy already had found out i was pregnant it was the second one and so on that i did not get.
If you think you're pregnant go see a doctor or take a home test.
If you are no longer having periods could you still be ovulating?
You are probably not ovulating if you haven't had a period. But you ovulate before you have your period so you could start at anytime. If you second child is still really young or you are breast feeding, this could be the reason you haven't had a period yet. If your child is a few months old and you aren't breast feeding, talk to your doctor. They may be able to help you begin to ovulate and have periods. Not having a period isn't normally healthy. If you don't want anymore kids, don't use not having a period as birth control. It may not work.
When you say 'no longer' perhaps you are menopausal.
As hormones fluctuate so much around this time as a 'rule of thumb' if you are under 50 use contraception for 2 years after your last period, if you are 50 and over use contraception for one year after your last period.
It's very, very possible, but not a guarantee. You might just be late. Take a home test or go see a doctor to be sure.
