Re: CD1
from Maybeamommy:
Okay here's your gameplan!
Your first cycle was 25 days, second cycle was 34 days.
Today is CD 1.
Start testing with OPKs (ovulation predictors, you can buy them at Target, Walmart, CVS.. either ones with lines or digitals) on CD 10 (October 8th). You may need more than 1 box.
Hold in your urine for 3-4 hours, then test between 2 and 8 pm. I plan it around when I come home from work. So if I get home from work at 6, then I will pee for the last time at work at 2, then not again until I get home and can use the OPK.
Starting on CD 10, you can try to BD every other day.
Once you get the +OPK, you'll want to BD that day and the next three days. Then you'll enter the TWO WEEK WAIT with the rest of us!

Re: CD1
sorry more questions. (im double posting. from now on, it'll just be here. ). ok, so when you get the OPK and starrt testing, you test every day with the OPK until you get a positive?
Also, what if we BD every day starting CD10? Is that better ?

yes - you test until you get a smiley, a line or whatever the specific test you bought gives ya.
if you can keep up with the pace of every day from CD10 on - GOOD FOR YOU!!! It's a lot honestly...i never thought i'd say that - but it is...and to be completely worn out by the time you start getting that smiley/line....that would STINK!!!

Re: CD1
basically what Jess said..
it can get tiring .... but the most important days to BD are the days leading up to O..
so when you get that positive.. you should definitely BD on that day and the next 2 days... so 3 total..
i still have yet to accomplish this .. its so tiring.

dont be nervous... i was the same way... in the beginning it can be a little scary.. and it feel so real! you will get used to it! 
you will do the OPK right... im sure everyone was telling you the tips about them ...
to hold for 4 hours without drinking ... and test the same time everyday.. anywhere between 2-8pm... NOT using FMU..

NO... before you test... you should hold your urine for 4 hours.. and dont drink anything within those 4 hours.. for best results , that is!

right - because anything you drink dilutes the hormone you are testing for..
