Hey Ladies, wondering if you wouldn't mind giving me some advice on when you think I should BD according to my below cycle information:

8/4-8/8 (5day AF) - 31day cycle-OV on CD14(8/17)
8/31-9/5 (6day AF)-28day cycle-OV CD13(9/12) LP 14 days
9/27-10/3 (7day AF)-28day cycle-OV CD13(10/9) LP 15 days - BD'd on CD 10 & 11
10/24-10/30 (7day AF)-28day cycle-OV CD12 (11/4) LP 15 days - BD'd on CD 10 & 22
11/19-11/24 (6day AF)-27day cycle-OV CD16 (12/4) LP 15 days - BD'd on CD 9 & 15
12/18-12/24 (7day AF)-30day cycle-OV CD12 (12/29) LP 14 days - BD'd on CD 8, 10, 11, 13 & 16

I think in previous months I wasn't BD'ing enough or close enough to OV time, especially not after it. I think I'm starting to get closer to getting the timing right as of December. My new plan for this month is going to BD every other day from the day my AF is over and then once I get my (+) OPK I will BD for 3 straight days.

Before joinging this site, I thought that when I got a (+) on an OPK that that meant I was ovulating that day, now I know that the (+) means I will ovulate 12-36 hours after that.

I just started AF - late last night there was a speck of pink on my underwear, but got it full blown this morning so do you think I should say I started yesterday or today? I think today, but I'm curious to know what you all think.

If anyone has any insight on what else I could do please do let me know!

I would like to temp, but I know if I did that it would add more stress to both my DH and myself so for now I do not want to do that. Also, after trying for another couple months if it doesn't happen after I know I've been BD'ing the right times, I'm going to have a laporascopy (sp?) to see if I have endometriosis which the dr. thinks there is a chance I could have. Then hopefully if I do have it, he can get rid of the bad stuff and then it would make it easier for DH & I to conceive.

If I conceive this cycle my EDD would be 10/22. My wedding anniversary is 10/20, and I just love October and Halloween! Fingers crossed!!!

GB1020 - I would count today as CD1 and I think your BD plan sounds perfect! :)

@GB - I would say today as CD1 also. I think your BD plan sounds good. Temping can be frustrating because you have to be so precise. However, if you get in the habit of it and can remember and do it correctly, it gives you a lot of additional information. I did it before for a while and I'm not doing it now. I may start again if we aren't PG in a few more months. Those are my thoughts.

I'm still technically on the September board, but I'm pretty sure that I'm out. AF isn't due until Saturday, though, so I guess there's still hope.

@Katie82 welcome and I hope many baby dust to you. I know the feeling of thinking its your month and disappointed with an ugly AF. The boards and reading about others is very helpful and inspiring. I too have been trying for awhile now and nothing. Sigh... i stopped charting this month and barely even paid attention to my body. It feels good actually to not stress over every little symptom. Im hoping what little I did do will work but im not expecting much Amy more these days. And I know the feeling about everyone around you being pregnant. Geez... im happy for everyone but c'mon why the heck is this so hard. Well I guess patience is a virtue.. I guess.. well.. anywho.. welcome and I hope to hear positive news from you soon. Baby dust to everyone

Hi, girls.

I'm jumping over from the september board. AF just showed this morning.

Let's catch those eggs!

Ok Ladies, I have a quick question. AF came Monday. Last night it seemed like it was gone. This morning there is still nothing. I stopped taking my BC pills at the end of Dec. When I was on them, AF usually lasted about 5 days. This cycle it was only 3. Is it normal to have a shorter AF after coming off BC pills? I'm just curious.

HisLadyBug: When I went off the pill my cycles were crazy and all over the place. It took good few months before it regulated. I was getting periods from few days long to a week and a half long... Give it few months and see if it regulates.

Hi ladies! Af is due tomorrow, so I guess I'm technically still in Sept, but I thought I'd go ahead and join here since I'm pretty sure I'm out. Wow! Lots of new people. I can't wait to get to know everyone.

10dpo today. I've been so tired the past few days. My back has been hurting more too. Sort of feel like my breasts feel a little heavier but I'm worried I'm just over analyzing everything.

Broke down and tested this morning although I know it's early.
I don't know what to think.......I posted a pic in my HPT gallery
