How soon do you have pregnancy symptoms? How do you tract your 28 day menstrual cycle on the calendar.?

Question

Do someone have a sample calendar of their menstrual cycle?

Answer 1

You can start having pregnancy symptoms about 7 days after you think you conceived, or it might be a little later.
You can track your cycle very easily if you have your period every 28 days. You can start charting your cycle from day one of your period, and most important your cervical discharge.
Right now I am working on a website you can check it out to see a sample cycle: http://infobaby.wetpaint.com

Answer 2

Pregnancy symptoms can vary and it just depends on the person and also the pregnancy. I have 3 children and had really bad nausea with the first and never any symptoms with the last two except for swollen feet and a bad craving for ice. About the period you need to get a little calendar and whenever you get your period mark the date and every 4 weeks after that circle the date because 28 days is every 4 weeks and that should be your starting date for just about every menstrual cylce. Also you need to keep in mind that not everyones menstrual cycle is every 28 days either it may vary from person to person from every 25-30 days or so. Here's an example to keep from getting pregnant which usually happens about 2 weeks or 14 days after the start of your last period. Ok here goes... if you get your period on the 1st of the month then around the 15th of the month is your ovulation cycle which means you could most likely get pregnant around that date. Then about 14 days later which should be the 29th of the month you can expect to have your period again unlsee you are pregnant and then you would not have a period for almost 9 months. Hope that helped!!!

Don't know about the tracking but 3 days after I concieved I was falling asleep all the time, thought I had the flu! That is always the first symptom for me I sleep like 14 hrs a day.

Answer 4

Usually you can feel something after implantation. Some women know right away, others don't realise until later. My sister didn't know until she was 3 months pregnant! I recommend fertility friend to track your cycles. I usually know when I'm fertile, ovulating, and when my period is due. If you wanna see examples of the charts, here is my ff charting homepage: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1441dd Best of luck to you!

Answer 7

Some people have symptoms right away, with in days, others have very few ever... All depends on the individual.

The first day of each fertility chart begins on the first day of your menstrual period. It will end on (but not include) the first day of your next period. Your temperature will be taken each morning, upon waking, at approximately the same time each morning. All other body changes can be noted as the day progresses, but for accuracy, I suggest that you try to set a regular time for each test. Morning is best, before you urinate, for most things, except the OPK test. Remember your fertility chart is to predict ovulation trends based on past menstrual patterns, but close observation of your cervix and cervical fluids can be used to predict impending ovulation, specially when combined with an OPK. It is extremely important that you remember that your predictions have limited accuracy, the care you put into your monitoring, and documenting, will have a major impact on your results. There is always going to be a certain degree of error both as a result of outside factors and human error. Your fertility chart is a calendar used to show the patterns of your fertility cycles, the more regular your cycles are, the more effective the calendar method is for predicting your ovulation patterns. The more careful you are, with monitoring and documenting, the more accurately you can predict ovulation, the higher the chance is that you will become pregnant sooner.

The goal to fertility charting is pregnancy. The idea of predicting ovulation is to time sexual intercourse during your most fertile time. Most fertility, and relationship experts, recommend that you have sexual intercourse on a regular basis. Reproduction specialists recommend an increase in sexual activity to daily during your most fertile time. But, if the man has sperm issues, every other day is still the best practice. In the beginning of ‘trying to conceive’ (ttc), sex two to three times per week, every week, sounds like fun. Unfortunately it can become structured and routine. Surprisingly, it is often the men who find the sexual demands of ‘baby making sex’ to be stressful - can you say ‘performance anxiety’. I suggest that you take this into consideration, right from the start. You need to be careful that ‘baby making sex’ does not take priority over making love. If you find this is becoming an issue, take a break from planed sex for a bit, work on you two, as a couple. You should still try to chart and prepare so that next month you can start fresh and new. Sometimes the entire process can become way too overwhelming and you need to take a charting holiday. If you need to take that break, do it! Drop it all for a bit and pick it up when you feel better about everything. You need to stop and think about how important it is that this baby has both of you when it is born. You will find a special section on your chart to document the days that you have intercourse.

You should find that your menstrual cycle is made up of three phases. The first stage is the beginning on your cycle and is known as menses. Charting begins on day one of menses. The second phase is the follicular phase and occurs after menses and before ovulation. The length of the follicular phase may vary from cycle to cycle and from woman to woman. The follicular phase length determines your cycle length. Ovulation divides the follicular phase from the luteal phase. The luteal phase occurs after ovulation and lasts from 12 to 14 days, but may last from 10 to 15 days. The luteal phase length is usually fairly consistent rarely changing, more than a day or two, from cycle to cycle in an individual woman. You may have been told that most ‘regular’ cycles last from 29 to 30 days, as you are probably aware, we are all different and so are the lengths of our cycles. A typical menstrual cycle may be anywhere from 21 to 35 days, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Our cycles are all individual and different things can affect each cycle, but hopefully yours will show the hormone patterns that you seek. Life happens and things affect our bodies differently. You will probably find that no two cycles are exactly the same, but they should be similar. Charting will help you to realize when the three phases occur in your cycle so you can determine when you are most likely to conceive. You probably grew up believing that you ovulate, or are most fertile, on day 14 of your menstrual cycle, mid cycle or 14 days before your period is expected. This time frame is known as the cover line, but the assumption is based on broad averages and they may not be true for you, even if your cycles are regular. When cycles are irregular, it is usually a result of ovulation occurring earlier or later than expected. Knowing when you ovulate allows you to have a good idea if intercourse was well timed for conception and lets you determine your luteal phase length. Knowing your luteal phase length tells you when to expect your period or a positive pregnancy test result. Though not accurate either, the luteal phase is supposed to be 10 to 17 days long. By using this, you count back the length of your longest luteal phase from the length of your average cycle. It is suggested that you mark and ‘O’ on your chart to signify the earliest that you may ovulate. If you have a ‘regular’ length cycle, this means you should mark you ‘O’ at, or around, day 11 in your upcoming cycle. You can use this ‘O’ as a warning point for you to be a bit more observant in your monitoring.

Our bodies may all be affected by similar hormonal patterns and we might all be expected to follow the three phases of our menstrual patterns, but we are all different. They key to charting is to determine how your body follows those predicted patterns. Your own fertility pattern is unique to you, as a result, it can take several cycles to determine how your personal cycles work. If you are fairly ‘regular’, you should be able to predetermine the day you are most likely to ovulate and act on it so you can become pregnant soon. Your chart will help you to identify ovulation and use the information to make predictions and calculations regarding your cycle. Once you know when (and if) you have ovulated, you can decide to take a break from ‘baby making sex’ and focus on ‘love making’, when you want to. By using your chart, you can identify if intercourse was timed for conception and get a reliable date for doing a pregnancy test and hopefully a reliable due date calculation. You can also best determine when to either take a pregnancy test or expect your period. If you are not pregnant, you will have documentation to take to your doctor so you can seek help in making that dream come true. Fell free to personalize your chart. As long as you do not do anything before you take that morning temperature, you can feel free to make your chart as fancy, or plain, as you wish. Feel free to use symbols, color or whatever makes your chart easier for you to read and document. I have highlighted sections of your chart where you should expect certain events to occur.
