Joining early..

I'm not TTC right now, maybe during the summer, DD needs a sibling to play with ... I'm really confused about what the the right timing is (ovulation?)...

Re: Joining early..

it depends how many days are in your cycle example:

Luteinizing hormone in elevated quantities causes ovulation. During the menstrual cycle only a small amount of LH is made, but in the middle of the cycle LH briefly increases. This increase is called the "LH surge" and precedes ovulation. Conception is most likely to occur within thirty-six hours following the LH surge. The Midstream Urine LH Ovulation Test is specifically designed to detect your LH surge - the time when you are likely to ovulate. Click to buy ovulation predictor tests.

DETERMINE WHEN TO START TESTING
To determine when to start testing, you must first determine the length of your menstrual cycle. The length of the menstrual cycle is the number of days from the first day of menstrual bleeding to the day before bleeding begins on the next period.

Determine the usual length of the menstrual cycle over the last few months. Then, refer to the Cycle Chart to determine on which day of the menstrual cycle to begin testing. If your cycle is less than twenty-one days or greater than forty days, consult a physician.
