The basics are (ladies feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!) women tend to ovulate once a month, and during this time the egg is alive for appox 24 hours - this is the only time that you can concieve. A man's sperm can however live up to 5 days inside a woman so you do not have to BD on the actual day you ov if you have been doing a few days before.
With regards to when you ov, well most women tend to be around CD14 - mine is usually around CD18 though.
Try not to get too caught up in the whole TTc thing yet as it can drive you mad, I would just enjoy yourselves for a while and generally try to BD 2/3 times per week.
Good luck
