Now I'll like to introduce Melissa Selcher, Senior Director, Analyst and Investor Relations. Ma'am, you may begin.
Melissa Selcher
Thanks you. Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to our 92nd quarterly conference call. This is Melissa Selcher and I am joined by John Chambers, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; Frank Calderoni, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; Rob Lloyd, President of Development and Sales; and Gary Moore, President and Chief Operating Officer.
I would like to remind you that we have a corresponding webcast with slides on our website in the Investor Relations section. Income statements, full GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation information, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and other financial information can also be found on the Investor Relations website. Click on the Financial Reporting section of the website to access these documents.
Throughout this conference call, we will be referencing both GAAP and non-GAAP financial results. The matters we will be discussing today include forward-looking statements and as such are subject to the risks and uncertainties that we discuss in detail in our documents filed with the SEC, specifically the most recent reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K and any applicable amendments, which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Unauthorized recording of this conference call is not permitted. All comparisons throughout this call will be on a year-over-year basis unless stated otherwise.
I will now turn it over to John for his commentary on the quarter.
John T. Chambers
Mel, thank you very much. As we exit Q2 FY13, we continued to be pleased with the traction of our strategy, our value proposition to our customers and the execution of our company and our partners.
We delivered another quarter of solid profitable growth with record revenue of 5% and record non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.51, up 9% year-over-year. In my recent conversations with global business and government leaders, the tone is cautious, optimism. I am not suggesting that optimism would translate and lead into immediate GDP growth. But there is a bleak, weaken move to a world driven by opportunity, not scarcity, and that technology will play a very large role in that opportunity.
Cisco's strategy delivering integrated architectures that address the top business opportunities and the biggest market transitions is differentiating us from our peers, and will help enable us to achieve our goal of becoming the number one IT Company in the world.
As I translate these observations to this quarter, I have five key takeaways. First, our execution on our financial model is very solid, with record revenues, earnings per share, net income and non-GAAP operating income. Gross margins continue to be very stable, expenses are growing inline with revenue growth and operating margins are strong.
Second, we continue to drive strong results in most of the key technology transitions. The transition such as datacenter, cloud, virtualization, mobility and video had very solid results in the quarter in what remains a challenging economic environment.
We continue to invest in a market transitions that we believe will drive our next phase of growth. Notably, the Internet of Everything of everything and programmable networks where we continue to lead the market with our execution on our Cisco ONE portfolio.
Third, our services business continued the solid growth in Q3 of 10%. Our services lead engagements and innovation together with our partners are driving our wallet and man share with customers. Fourth, we continue to see a soft global recovery with Europe and especially Southern Europe still on distress.
On the positive side, we continue to see improvements in the U.S. Enterprise, and U.S. commercial orders, which we believe is likely an early indicator of future GDP growth.
Finally, we generated operating cash of over $3 billion by returning almost $1.25 billion to shareholders this quarter with the dividend and the buyback. Over the last year and a half, we closed 14 acquisitions, totaling to approximately $7 billion with 13 of the 14 adding important software, cloud and recurring revenue assets across our portfolio. We remain very committed to our capital return strategy to drive the value to our shareholders.
In summary, we believe that our Q2 results once again demonstrate that our vision and strategy are working. In simple terms, we did what we said we will do and what I think we will all agree as a challenging market.
As we continue to deliver on the innovation, quality and leadership, our customers expect we are pleased with our execution. We are managing our portfolio and operations investing for the future and delivering the integrated architecture solutions to become our customers more strategic IT partner.
To provide additional details on our Q2 FY '13 results, I'd like to turn the call over to Frank. I will then walk through what we're seeing in the business and where we're focusing going forward. Frank will detail our guidance and we'll wrap up the call then with Q&A at the end. Frank, over to you.
Frank A. Calderoni
Thank you, John. In Q2, we continue to execute on our strategy of driving profitable growth, which contributes to increasing shareholder value over the long-term. At our financial analyst conference, we discussed our focus on innovation, portfolio management and operational discipline and we believe you are seeing the results in that focus. While we continue to operate in the challenging macroeconomic environment, we're pleased with the discipline and execution of the company with total revenue, a record $12.1 billion, up 5% and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.51, up 9%, delivering our fifth straight quarter of growing earnings faster than revenues. Our non-GAAP EPS include a $0.01 benefit related to a tax item I will discuss in more detail later.
In terms of our business momentum, we saw product revenue growth of 3% with total product book-to-bill of slightly less than 1%. With total revenue globally, we had 9% growth in the Americas and 8% in APJC while Europe's macroeconomic challenges continued resulting in a decrease of 5% for EMEA.

Very Rare PR63 1883 Hawaii Half1883 50C Hawaii Half Dollar PR63 NGC. CS-4, "Hapalua." Upright 8s in the date. Very rare, just 26 proofs were struck in silver to honor King Kalakaua I. The fields are deeply mirrored on each side and the surfaces are mostly brilliant with just a hint of reddish-russet color around the margins. Don Medcalf (Hawaiian Money: Standard Catalog), lives in Honolulu and has studied sources in the state archives, explains that six silver proof sets were coined in September 1883, and another 20 sets were made the following year. Designed by Charles E. Barber. All pieces made for commerce were coined at San Francisco. Proofs were made at the proofing facility inside the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia. All interested collectors should read or re-read Walter Breen's account on pages 672-673 of his Complete Encyclopedia.
Proofs such as this pleasing specimen are indeed very special, above and beyond their tiny mintage number. Statehood was not even a remote thought in 1883, and the Philadelphia Mint's proofs were nothing but special pieces made on contract for a remote outpost, mostly dominated by an American fruit company. Thus, survivors of this rare issuance are nothing related to the lovely but more plentiful and often superb proofs of the regular U.S. coinage. Not at all. Few collectors saved them, and fewer still in America even had access to any, to acquire. They were portraiture commemoratives, in fact, and the portrait splendidly captured the Hawaiian motif. The king's "picture" is totally authentic.
David Kalakaua was elected by the Hawaiian legislature to replace the first elected king, Charles Lunalilo, who passed away in 1874 without successor. Kalakaua is remembered for wishing to bring his kingdom into the modern world, for his American leanings, and (for our purposes) even for wanting to cause a national coinage to be created. He took a European holiday in 1881, and out of his visits to various mints came a marvelously rare pattern struck at Paris, the so-called "5 Cent" piece. But nothing came of it. American foreign policy focused on the Hawaiian Islands at this time, for economic reasons (and potential military ones as well), and from this came the coinage of 1883. Sugar baron Claus Spreckels had more than the king's ear, and convinced him to contract with the United States to have a silver coinage made bearing his portrait. Barber produced master dies and hubs, and coins were minted to the same standards as regular U.S. silver, and paralleling the U.S. denominations although bearing Hawaiian names. Thus they were made from standard U.S. planchets.
The few proof sets were struck at Philadelphia, then operations were transferred to the mint at San Francisco for the commercial coinage beginning in November 1883 and concluded the following June. The last pieces made were additional proofs, created strictly for diplomatic purposes--to be presented to dignitaries (none for public sale). Each proof coin of this era is consequently a fascinating and very rare part of Hawaiian history, indelibly linked to the United States and to American numismatics. Opportunities to acquire one are rare today but not as rare as they were in 1883-1884, and it appears that relatively few collectors realize what a splendid opportunity each auction appearance truly is.

South America Tops List, Europe Trails in Expanded IIIP Innovation Confidence Index
San Francisco, CA (Vocus) January 29, 2009 -- The public's inclination toward innovative products was largely unaffected by the drop in consumer confidence last year, according to the 2008 IIIP Innovation Confidence Index that was expanded to cover every region of the world and released publicly today.
The survey also found that societal values are more important than individual demographics, such as age or education, in predicting whether local consumers will accept innovative products. For example, a middle-aged non-entrepreneur in a traditional society like Colombia is significantly more likely to believe new products or services will improve his life than a young Finnish entrepreneur.
"Worldwide, we found that people's confidence in innovation seems to be independent of whether the economy is going up or down and that people in countries with more traditional social values are more likely to welcome innovation. The IIIP Innovation Confidence Index is the only clear snapshot of consumers' receptivity to innovative products, and findings like these provide important insights for developing global marketing strategies," the report's author Dr. Jonathan Levie of the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow said.
The annual survey commissioned by the Institute for Innovation & Information Productivity (IIIP) shows a dip of just 1 percent on average in consumers' openness toward innovation across the seven countries sampled in both 2007 and 2008. Comparatively, overall personal confidence in local economic conditions d

Kickstarter Katchup ' 17th November 2012
Three winners this week: StarForge still has plenty of time to reach some of its incredibly tempting stretch goals, Super Comboman cruised through the whole process and Distance had a remarkable boost last week, demonstrating how much a single update can change a game's fortunes. Some projects, Ars Magica and Antharion in particular, are perilously close to failure, but, as ever, there are newcomers as well. A new game from the maker of Middens immediately assaulted my attention and the clever sorts behind Fallen London have a playable prototype of their latest. Onward.

Controversy continues to surround a money-making plan for the Academy of Holy Angels in Richfield.
The private school wants to sell the east portion of its lawn, and developers are willing to pay nearly $6 million for it. The money would go to fund endowment, financial aid, debt reduction, infrastructure improvements and staff support, according to school officials.
On Tuesday night, those developers met with the city council to discuss their plans, if the sale goes through.
While the city isn't making any concrete decisions yet, those for and against the plan were there to remind them of their concerns.
"If you have another thing that puts $6 million in our pocket and ensures 30 or 40 years of our school, I've been on the board for a year, we've been waiting for that," said John Adams, who supports the sale.
Meanwhile, some are skeptical of the plan.
"We will be stuck with all the traffic and all the congestion all the trucks and garbage haulers coming in and out of our residential area, and we'll be stuck with another strip mall," said Jane Koenig, who opposes the sale.
Ideas for development include a Walgreens and other small retail stores.

All these posts showing what the venom sting can do to others, but Kaine's resistance to such attacks seems to be completely ignored.
So I'll say it again.
Kaine has been hit by lightning (or something similar) and he jumped right through the chest of Mammon, a pure energy being, to save the human host trapped inside, both times all it did was make him cry out in pain then he instantly went back into the fight. Bio-electric shocks are supposed to faze him?
Is Kaine more durable than the guys in all those venom sting posts? Perhaps not. But, is the venom sting stronger than lightning and an energy being whose release of energy earlier in the issue fried and knocked out Firebird (basically a fire elemental)? I highly doubt.

From the Eliasberg Collection
This Premium Gem from the Eliasberg Collection was quite conservatively graded as MS63 in that sale, following the trend of all the Eliasberg coins. Nearly every coin from that collection has certified at a higher grade. Of course, grading at the time gave no indication of value, for this coin realized just under $10,000 in 1997, at a time when an MS63 was only valued at about $1,500.
Undoubtedly the finest known example of the variety, this sharply defined piece has delicate light brown toning with lovely orange, gold, and blue toning in the peripheral areas. Pristine surfaces are nicely preserved with underlying frosty luster. Census: 1 in 66, 0 finer (3/09).
Ex: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr.; Eliasberg Estate (Bowers and Merena, 4/1997), lot 1792.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

A few days ago, the sweet young blonde woman newsreader gushed on the noon newscast that the Census has announced that New Mexico's April 2010 population was just over 2 million.
Actually, this number, 2,059,179, was released three months ago.
So much for television's immediacy. The "news" that sunny March 15, which I think the blonde lady missed, was that the Census had done its first public release of a huge amount of New Mexico data.
For those of you interested in this material and who also are, uh, "challenged" by getting there, here are some initial steps, offered because this ain't easy, even perhaps for the unchallenged.
On the Internet, start with www.Census.gov.
Then, from the left side menu, click on American FactFinder. There are two fact finders. The one on the left is for the new stuff.
Click on factfinder2.census.gov. This is easy to see. It's in big blue letters.
First, though, just below where it says, "factfinder2.census.gov," a line in smaller type invites you to "Learn more about the new American FactFinder." The first item in your learning experience is an "informational brochure."

Beth Petty, Charlotte Regional Partnership
As "The Hunger Games" continues its box office dominance, Beth Petty, director of the Charlotte Regional Partnership's film commission, may be the one smiling the most. Petty helped recruit the makers of "The Hunger Games" to film most of the movie in Charlotte, and the movie has become the year's top-grossing film. Since 2001, Petty has served as director of the film commission, which recruits feature and independent films, TV shows, commercials and still photography to the 16-county Charlotte region.

Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. added more subscribers in the third quarter than its rival, XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc., but shares in both companies fell Wednesday on nagging concerns about whether rapid growth in the business can continue.
New York-based Sirius, whose lineup includes shock jock Howard Stern, continued to narrow the gap with the larger XM, reporting a net gain of 441,101 subscribers to reach 5.1 million. The company reaffirmed its target of reaching 6.3 million subscribers by the end of the year.
Washington-based XM said it gained 285,000 net new subscribers, bringing its base to 7.2 million. XM said that pace was consistent with its previously stated forecast of reaching 7.7 million to 8.2 million subscribers by the end of the year.
However, XM also said it would update those forecasts the next time it reported earnings. XM disappointed investors in May when it lowered its full-year forecast for subscriber growth, blaming softness in retail sales and problems with product availability.

ACI Worldwide, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2013 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS *Raising guidance due to completion of Online Resources acquisition *Sales bookings, net of term extensions, up 19%, or 10% excluding Online Resources *Operating free cash flow of $34 million, versus $4 million last year *60 month backlog now above $3 billion, including Online Resources Business Wire NAPLES, Fla. -- May 2, 2013 ACI Worldwide, Inc. (NASDAQ:ACIW), a leading international provider of payment systems, today announced financial results for the period ended March 31, 2013. Management will host a conference call at 8:30 am EST to discuss these results as well as 2013 guidance. Interested persons may access a real-time audio broadcast of the teleconference at www.aciworldwide.com/investors or use the following numbers for dial in participation: US/Canada: (866) 914-7436, International/Local: +1 (817) 385-9117. Please provide your name, the conference name ACI Worldwide, Inc. and conference code 37077453. There will be a replay available for two weeks on (855) 859-2056 for US/Canada Dial-In and +1 (404) 537- 3406 for International/Local Dial-In participants. "ACI accomplished a great deal during Q1, including completing the acquisition of Online Resources," said Chief Executive Officer Philip Heasley. "This transaction adds electronic bill payment to our payments capabilities, which will help us provide highly valued functionality to our financial institution customers. Additionally, our new sales bookings, net of term extensions were solid, growing 19% over last year, or roughly 10% excluding Online Resources' contribution. We are excited and confident about the remainder of 2013. Our ability to provide increased value to our customers and growth to our investors has never been better." FINANCIAL SUMMARY Online Resources Acquisition ACI completed the acquisition of Online Resources on March 11, 2013 and our first phase of cost savings initiatives is substantially complete. Following these efforts, we expect to generate $19.5 million in annual cost synergies, of which $12 million should be realized in 2013. The acquisition adds a full-service electronic bill payment platform to our suite of products, a fast growing Biller Direct business and a significant base of biller connections that can be leveraged through innovation, technology and cost efficiencies. Updated Outlook We are increasing our FY 2013 guidance to account for the recently completed Online Resources acquisition. We now expect FY 2013 non-GAAP revenue to be between $895 and $915 million, non-GAAP operating income of between $170 and $180 million and adjusted EBITDA of between $266 million and $276 million. In addition, we expect revenue in the first half of 2013 to represent roughly 41-42% of our full year total. While this is slightly lower than our historical average, our strong pipeline and our visibility into the timing of implementations provide us comfort with this full year guidance. Online Resources' recurring revenue will slightly moderate our historic seasonality. Financial Results for Q1 Q1 non-GAAP revenue was $163 million, an increase of $21 million, or 15%, over Q1 2012. GAAP revenue of $162 million was an increase of $24 million from Q1 of 2012. The increase was due to contribution from both Online Resources and a full quarter of S1, offset by a $15 million decline in non-recurring revenue, split between incidental capacity and "go-live" events. Monthly recurring revenue grew to $119 million, up $30 million, or $8 million excluding Online Resources and incremental S1 contribution. This represented 73% of total revenue in the quarter. New sales bookings, net of term extensions, which is the key driver of our growth, was up 19% in the quarter, or 10% excluding the contribution from Online Resources. Our 60-month backlog increased by $671 million, after adjusting for foreign currency fluctuations, of which $660 million was due to Online Resources. Our 12 month backlog increased $154 million, after adjusting for foreign currency fluctuations, of which $138 million was due to Online Resources. Due primarily to the decline in non-recurring revenue, non-GAAP operating income was $4 million, or $14 million below last year's number. Consolidated GAAP operating loss was $4 million for the quarter, versus a loss of $2 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA of $22 million was $9 million below last year's $31 million. Non-GAAP net income was $3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in Q1 2013, versus non-GAAP net income per diluted share of $0.28 last year. GAAP net loss was $2 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share, for both Q1 2013 and Q1 2012. We ended the quarter with $112 million in cash on hand, up from $76 million as of December 31, 2012. We ended the quarter with a debt balance of $671 million. Our consolidated billed and unbilled receivable balance declined $35 million during the quarter, excluding the addition of Online Resources. Operating free cash flow ("OFCF") for the quarter was $34 million, up $30 million from $4 million in Q1 of last year.

Our non-GAAP measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP measures, and should be read only in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. (2) Adjustment for deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 and ORCC but was not recognized due to GAAP purchase accounting requirements. (3) One-time expense related to the acquisitions of ORCC and S1, including, $1.9 million for employee related actions, $2.5 million for ORCC acquisition fees and $2.2 million for other professional fees in 2013 and $7.4 million for employee related actions, $2.4 million for accelerated stock compensation, $4.1 million for S1 acquisition fees, and $1.1 million for other professional fees in 2012. (4) Adjustments tax effected at 35%. To supplement our financial results presented on a GAAP basis, we use the non-GAAP measure indicated in the tables, which exclude certain business combination accounting entries and expenses related to the acquisition of S1 and Online Resources, as well as other significant non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation, that we believe are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and our future results. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to our GAAP results and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Certain non-GAAP measures include: *Non-GAAP revenue: revenue plus deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements. Non-GAAP revenue should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, revenue. *Non-GAAP operating income: operating income (loss) plus deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and one-time expense related to the acquisitions. Non-GAAP operating income should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income. *Adjusted EBITDA: net income (loss) plus income tax expense, net interest income (expense), net other income (expense), depreciation, amortization and non-cash compensation, as well as deferred revenue that would have been recognized in the normal course of business by S1 and Online Resources if not for GAAP purchase accounting requirements and one-time expense related to the acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, operating income. ACI is also presenting operating free cash flow, which is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, plus net after-tax payments associated with employee-related actions and facility disclosures, net after-tax payments associated with acquisition related transaction costs, net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT outsourcing transition and termination, and less capital expenditures. Operating free cash flow is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We utilize this non-GAAP financial measure, and believe it is useful to investors, as an indicator of cash flow available for debt repayment and other investing activities, such as capital investments and acquisitions. We utilize operating free cash flow as a further indicator of operating performance and for planning investing activities. Operating free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities. A limitation of operating free cash flow is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in the cash balance for the period. This measure also does not exclude mandatory debt service obligations and, therefore, does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. We believe that operating free cash flow is useful to investors to provide disclosures of our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management. Reconciliation of Operating Free Cash Flow Quarter Ended March 31, (millions) 2013 2012 Net cash provided (used) by operating activities $ 34.9 ($12.6 ) Net after-tax payments associated with 1.5 0.6 employee-related actions Net after-tax payments associated with lease 0.1 - terminations Net after-tax payments associated with acquisition 4.9 7.7 related transaction costs Net after-tax payments associated with cash - 10.2 settlement of S1 options Net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT 1.9 - Outsourcing Termination Net after-tax payments associated with IBM IT - 0.2 Outsourcing Transition Less capital expenditures (9.0 ) (2.1 ) Operating Free Cash Flow $ 34.3 $ 4.0 ACI also includes backlog estimates, which include all software license fees, maintenance fees and services specified in executed contracts, as well as revenues from assumed contract renewals to the extent that we believe recognition of the related revenue will occur within the corresponding backlog period. We have historically included assumed renewals in backlog estimates based upon automatic renewal provisions in the executed contract and our historic experience with customer renewal rates. Backlog is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. Our 60-month backlog estimate represents expected revenues from existing customers using the following key assumptions: *Maintenance fees are assumed to exist for the duration of the license term for those contracts in which the committed maintenance term is less than the committed license term. *License and facilities management arrangements are assumed to renew at the end of their committed term at a rate consistent with our historical experiences. *Non-recurring license arrangements are assumed to renew as recurring revenue streams. *Foreign currency exchange rates are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period for those contracts stated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. *Our pricing policies and practices are assumed to remain constant over the 60-month backlog period. Estimates of future financial results are inherently unreliable. Our backlog estimates require substantial judgment and are based on a number of assumptions as described above. These assumptions may turn out to be inaccurate or wrong, including for reasons outside of management's control. For example, our customers may attempt to renegotiate or terminate their contracts for a number of reasons, including mergers, changes in their financial condition, or general changes in economic conditions in the customer's industry or geographic location, or we may experience delays in the development or delivery of products or services specified in customer contracts which may cause the actual renewal rates and amounts to differ from historical experiences. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also impact the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog estimates will actually generate the specified revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated within the corresponding 60-month period. Backlog should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, reported revenue and deferred revenue.

I'm beginning to chart again and started thinking of my first pregnancy...
First date of my period was May 16-18, Date of conception was may 22 and she was born naturally on feb 24, which indicates I ovulated 4-6 days after the first day of my period. Is it ok to assume right after my next period we should actively TTC ?
How do you know May 22 was the date of conception?
Just asking because, let's say you have that date because your diary said you DTD on that day, and you weren't DTD very often then, so that Deed was clearly what ended up in conception. However, you still don't know when you ovulated. You could have ovulated as late as May 27 - and thus actually conceived on that date, even though you hadn't done the deed since May 22.
How long is your cycle, generally?
How long is your period? So, "right after your period" would be... CD6?
From what I've looked into, I think it's highly, highly unusual (or maybe even "completely unheard of") to ovulate before CD10. However, your fertile time might indeed begin immediately after your period, leading up to ovulation on CD10 or later.
Homeschooling mama to 6 year old DD.
How do you know May 22 was the date of conception?
May 22 was the last day we had intercorse before our positive pregnancy test, which I believe I took the day my period was supposed to come.
How long is your cycle, generally?
Before Audrey is was 28-29 days, but I haven't charted since, we weren't planning on trying for a second babe.
How long is your period? So, "right after your period" would be... CD6?
I stop bleeding CD4.
From what I've looked into, I think it's highly, highly unusual (or maybe even "completely unheard of") to ovulate before CD10. However, your fertile time might indeed begin immediately after your period, leading up to ovulation on CD10 or later.
That makes sense.
My DD was conceived from DTD on day 5 of my cycle, which was the last day of my period. I thought for sure I wouldn't get pregnant from that, LOL. :)
Yes, you can ovulate right after your period.
43 w/Emphysema - TTC from 2005 - 2013. 2 miscarriages in 2008. Good things do not come to those who wait.
I think i remember being on my period the day of conception, thanks for the replies :)
i'll start charting day CD4 :)
Could it also be possible that you didn't ovulate the previous cycle and it wasn't a true period?
The same thing happened to me. I assumed I was safe because it was the last day of my period, we only DTD once that month and surprise! DS was born in May! I was naive and had never heard of charting before and now I know better. (I'm glad it happened the way it did though, DH kept saying he wasn't ready, he sure got ready pretty quick!)
Mom to DS 13mo.
Your day of conception is not the same as the day that you had sex.
You might have sex on CD 7 ...but then don't ovulated for 4 more days. The ovulation date is what you want to pay attention to.
You said you ovulated 4-6 days after your period, but there's a good chance that that's not the case.
It's more likely that you were fertile, had sex, sperm hung out for a while waiting for the egg, and then you ovulated, maybe even 5 days later. That day is when the baby is "conceived." That's is the important day in figuring out due dates.
Also, the date that your baby was born, is not really a good indicator of which day you ovulated on 9-ish months prior. ...because babies can naturally come a little late or a little early.
Have you read the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility? I think it would be really helpful for you.
I read online about luteal phase, and the minimum amount of days to have a successful pregnancy, that information was very informative.
I started OPK today, CD7 and got a +, so I def ovulate CD8- CD10.
We ONLY BD'd on CD 7 of this cycle... and I'm pregnant. I started spotting on CD 9, tested positive on CD 20. The darkness of the tests are all consistent with a CD 9 O. I didn't think it was possible.... but it must have been unless this was miraculous conception, lol.
Congrats! We've been BDing basically everyday, so I won't be able to pinpoint an exact ovu date if we're pregnant. I've only started charting this cycle and it's slightly exhausting, so I prob won't after this month.
Lisa: I just watched the instructional movies on the Fertility Friend Website. I think they said that sperm only survives 2-3 days. So you date of conception could have been 22, 23, 24, or 25. Also, since you had a girl it would indicate that the sperm hung around for a little bit before you conceived. Generally, the sperm that causes girls are stranger and live longer, while the boys sperm die sooner. My nursing classes are finally coming in handy :) hehe
I didn't read all of the responses so forgive me if this is repeat information, but your conception day is the day you O, not the day you DTD. Sperm can live in fertile cervical fluid for up to 5 days (there have been stories of up to a week). My ds was conceived from five day old sperm. So, if you DTD on May 22nd then you could have O'd as late as May 27th. This would put your O day on CD11, which is quite possible. Oing much earlier is not at all common, but can happen. From this information I might assume you are an early Oer, but when you O can change pretty drastically depending on what is happening in your life and with your health (while your LP will only vary by 1-2 days from cycle to cycle). Since you said you are starting to chart again, you should get a good idea of when you typically O and what your CF pattern looks like prior to O. I personally would start DTD as soon as you see fertile CF- creamy or EW- and continue until three days past your O day (in other words continue until you have three high temps).
I think you mentioned OPK's... these tests are often very unreliable for women. They can show up positive for days on end, positive well past confirmed O, or never show up positive at all. Plus there is the difficulty with interpretation if you're using the strips. The test line must be darker than the control to be considered positive. With the smiley face (+/-) kind it can be easy to miss your actual peak day. And remember, the test is indicating that it is likely that you will O within 24-36 hours from the positive test- not actually that day (usually), but it does not guarantee that you did in fact O. Only temping will do that for you. You can gear up to O and not succeed, Oing a few days or even weeks later.
I highly recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler and asking lots of questions here! These women are always happy to help! Good luck!

Superb, but I substituted bacon drippings for the olive oil.
Fry the bacon, set aside, then crumble bacon into dish.
Found this rec. on another sight using just corn, but I had a small Asian eggplant to be used. Sautéed crushed garlic, Diced color pepper & onion 2 min, added strips of the peeled eggplant, sautéed another 4 - 5 min, added the corn for 2 min. OUT OF THIS WORLD.
2nd time just the corn. We keep small containers of diced onion, peppers & celery on hand to speed cooking.
Fresh and delicious!!! A touch of garlic made it even better!

Took my oath and became a U.S. Citizen today.
Very happy to be a part of this great country!
Congrats. Are you a dual citizen?
Congratulations! Where is your other citizenship?
Your citizenship makes this country better, Upper.
We're glad to have you among us- Way to go!
Congrats, upper!
Outstanding, Upper!!!
Congrats. By the way, my wife is studying right now for hers. We're not sure yet when she's going to take the test and all that though.
So. It's American-Venezuelan. Strange combination these days.
The test is a joke. If your wife has a basic working knowledge of English, she'll have no trouble, You only have to get 6 right out of 10!
The hardest thing for some can be understanding the questions, since not all of the officers have nice neutral midwestern accents. ;)
Congrats oneupper......here's a toast for you tonight!!!! :usa:
Congratulations. Just curious: Were you waiting until the election was finished? ;)
Congrats upper.
Now don't blow it! ;)
Congrats 1U!
Well done.
Probably just sitting under a bigger stack.
I'll vote next time. ;)

Theatre review: Mpinga MorningsMpinga Mornings is a one-person play told from the perspective of three Rhodesian-born (now Zimbabwe) characters – a farmer's wife, her daughter and their domestic worker. It spans the time from around the start of the Rhodesian Bush War to the land grabs and beyond and shows the different ways in which each character was affected by these events.

Get creative with Art JammingI've always enjoyed painting and art. I'm not very good at it, but I've always found something relaxing and therapeutic about drawing, taking photos on my own and sitting with a canvas and being able to paint whatever I want to. Needless to say that when I got the chance to experience Art Jamming, I was quite excited about it.
