Generally speaking, what days do you dtd when you are ttc? This is new to me.
This is my first cycle after my loss and we have had sex on cds 10, 11, 13, and 14. Today is cd 15, should we try again or do you think I've covered my days?

It really and totally completely depends on when you ovulate. If you are like I've been and don't O until cd 18, it probably wouldn't be good enough. I'm going to just go for every other day until after I'm sure I ovulated, but I've never had problems conceiving.
If you already ovulated, you're probably good, but I'd probably give it a few more just to make sure.

yes, thats the problem....I'm not sure when/if I've ovulated. I've never charted or temped or anything. If its not this cycle, I think I'll start trying some OPKs.

Yeah, I have such completely obvious symptoms I can't miss it. lol (drowning in ewcm and o pains so bad it leaves me curled on the couch for at least an hour).
I think I'd go a few more just to make sure. How long are your cycles usually?

my cycles were always typically about 28 days long. Not sure if thats going to change at all since my loss. I was having some lower abdomen pains a couple days ago. Not sure if that was actually O pains or what.

I would do at least every other day. I am on some other TTC forums and some of those ladies do not Ovulate until day 20-25.
I did ovulation test's last month and did everyday for 5 days after I got my positive and it was no go.
So you just never know.
Do you have OPK's?

If your cycle is 28 days, you SHOULD ovulate sometime before CD18, unless you have a luteal defect, which isn't common anyway... If I were you I'd try and BD every day or at least every other day until CD 18 or 20 even, just to be safe. And OPKs are awesome, definitely pick some up for next cycle if AF shows her witchy head after these efforts.

I usually start around CD11 and go everyday for 5-7 days. This month I used the OPK and once we had a positive we made sure we BD at least one day past the negative. So we BD'd this month from CD9-CD14.

thanks girls! I think we'll try a couple more nights and see what happens. Next month I will definitely try to use the OPKs.
