That is the question.

So anyway, while TTC, we try to DTD every other day when I'm fertile. Any more than that is just too much. My problem right now is not knowing when I'll ovulate. Before my m/c it was anywhere from CD 16-CD 21. I've already got a little bit of fertile CM, but sometimes I can get that a week before I ovulate. No postive OPKs or any that are close to positive. But I'm not sure the OPKs are going to work for me. When I used Answer brand, I got one positive OPK the day that I ovulated (worthless, by then it could be too late) and the cycle that I got pregnant I never got a positive (although it was questionable when I ovulated, I could have quit the opks too soon).
I know Dh is going to get sick of being used just for BDing so I want to try and do it as close to O as possible.

Today is CD 14, should I pounce on him tonight? Just in case? I've got a link to my chart below.

Oh and don't any of you tell me that I have to have sex to get pregnant.

I would. I would try for CD14,16,18 and 20.
If not that at least 14,17,20 and 23 if you can swing it.

It's weird that you showed full ferning but didn't O. HMMM

If it were me I would skip the OPKs and just use the scope and check cervix/cm.


Hope it helps! And nope... Dee already proved you don't have to have sex more than 3 times a month to get PG. MAN I WISH!!!!!! LMAO

I'm not sure the scope is the best predictor for me either. I've gotten full ferning at times when I was not fertile AT ALL.
I'm trying a different brand of OPKs (cheapies) and I'm going to see if they work any better.

We did it Saturday, on CD 11, when my fertile CM started.

So maybe I can try 14, 16, and 18 for sure. 20 will be more difficult since I'll be working that day, so it maybe have to be 21.
I have to try and plan around the days that I work (Mon and Wed) because it's difficult timewise to get in a BD session.

We also have to work around if Dh goes hunting this weekend, we'll have to do it at his parents house. FUN.
