Implantation bleeding and cycle tracking?

Question

Ok, here is the scoop. My husband and I have been TTC since October 2011. I went off the pill May 2011, and unfortunately my periods have been all over the board, cycle wise. I will have a 28 day cycle, then a 44, a 33, one was 48, last month was 25. I know I will have to start tracking ovulation better if nothing happens this month, it's hard for me to know when I ovulate. My first day of my last period was January 25, I am going on day 38 in my cycle, and the last day we had sex was Feb 15. Two mornings ago I had a bit of light spotting and then nothing, no period or anything, took 2 tests, they were negative. How long would it take after implantation for the HCG hormone to show up? And is it even possible that I would have implantation bleeding at that time, 15 days after the last time we had sex? My journey to pregnancy is very frustrating and confusing to date. Next month if nothing happens this cycle, I will have to start using a basal themometer and charting :(

Hi :)

Well just so you know basal thermometer method only detects ovulation after its already happened. What I would suggest doing is learning how to check your cervix and cervical mucus. Thats the best way to tell when your ovulating. Its the best method because you dont need to spend money on expensive opk kits or buy a thermomter and charts. All you have to do is learn to recognize how your cervix moves and feels throughout your cycle and the way your cervical mucus changes. However thats only if you'd be comfortable doing that some women dont feel comfortable doing that. But heres a couple of links that will help you learn about it if your interested. But beware the cervix site is graphic, not like porn graphic, but it does show actual pictures of cervixes.

Hope these websites help. Oh yeah! I almost forgot. Theres a WONDERFUL website that I think you'd like called medhelp.org where you can ask questions about just about anything and its free to become a member. Theres forum for women ttc and women who are pregnant and all tons of stuff. They also have apps on their site to track your ovulation and period and basal temperature if you choose to do that. Anyways hope this helped good luck and lots of baby dust :)

Wait two weeks then take a different experiment. If you have got an Android cell you'll be able to get an ovulation tracker and it maintains your interval dates and sex dates that you just installed and tells you your first-rate days of ovulation.
