Stupid Question
Okay... so you know I'm pretty new and when I spoke with the OB about TTC he said relax b/c we only started a few months ago and just BD every day or every other day. We've been doing this after AF is done right up until AF. Obviously it hasn't worked yet, but why does it seem to be so technical TTC? Does it matter if we do it more at a certain time or not at all others. I'm just confused.
Thanks ladies! Just want to know the best way. I'm going to see him next month if I'm still not prego.

Re: Stupid Question
the best way is to really pinpoint when you ovulate.. by using the OPK it gives you the 2 best days to BD.. and i still BD every other day from CD10 until i get my positive on the test.
some girls chart and take temps, i feel personally that the kits are easier.

Thanks, that's does help. Ok, when the OPK tells you you're O then do you do it every day?

Re: Stupid Question
also, you can go on Mymonthlycycles.com .. they have a ovulation predictor on there, which tells you the best days to BD.. i did this my first month and i got PG right away..
now of course it estimates your O.. its not 100% at all.. its just a guide to help you!
are you cycles regular?

if you do the OPK, then once you get that positive , it means that you will be Oing in the next 12-36 hours. so once you get that positive you want to BD that day and the next 2 days in a row...

ok, so if you went on that website, you would put your last cycle date (first day of AF) and how long the cycles last.. then it will calculate and estimated time frame that you will O. and tell you which days to BD..
