What do you think?
Right girls, i promised myself that ttc would be completely 'au naturale' until christmas, and only then would i consider using ov sticks and other trickery. So this is my last chance!! And i need your help!!
I don't really get any ov symptoms, hence im not sure how long my LP or anything is. Since coming off the pill in March, my cycle has been anything from 28-40 days, though usually somewhere in between. Last month 32, one before 33 and one before that 29.
I'm now on CD11, and am trying to work out when we should aim to BD (i don't mean for it to sound so clinical, but im sure you'll understand)! Assuming an LP of anything between 12-16 days, I would need to cover days 13 right through to 21. But aside from the fact i'd be knackered (especially with the jet lag!!) i'd also be worried about not giving hubbie's swimmers chance to properly recuperate!!
So what would you suggest? Every day? Every other day? Concentrate on a couple of days in particular? I know there's no sure-fire answer but would appreciate some advice! My way hasn't done it for us thus far :roll:

This TTC malarky is sent to test us right?
Knowing when you OV does help for sure - perhaps next month (if no BFP this month) it would be worth investing in some OPKS. I got mine from amazon and got a clear +ve strip on CD19!
Your hubbys swimmers will be fine if you try and stick to the every other day rule....it'll give them chance to recover and the quality shouldn't be affected.
However, thats not to say if you do do it every day around OV the swimmers will be affected - its just advised to go for the every other day method!!
Good luck hun x x x

I think Wilma - to cover all eventualities just start BDing now every other day at least until CD20. If you do OV mid-cycle then even now some of the swimmers may be hanging around (as your CD12 today) but if you OV later on (like me) then by bding every other day for a few days past 'mid' cycle, your covering your back!
Just go with the flow my lovely - if you are feeling in the mood but you did it last night - so what, go for it! ))

Susie - hope Mich helped!! There's so much conflicting advice you just never know what to believe! x
Its www.dramy.co.uk - i go on there and put in my last period date and it calculates roughly when I will be ovulating, best time to test etc. I swear by it but also I am only on month 1 so we will wait and see...........hoping for a xmas BFP and I have a 35 day cycle roughly for last 4 months so assuming they stay the same they say time between af and ovulation is roughly 2 weeks. I think so anyway because I get confused too lol anyway nice to have you back hun x
