    Nic did you do anything different this month?

    I stopped taking Agnus Castus after ovulation (I'm a poas freak), and BD'd a lot. We BD'd on CD 14-20 (7 days in a row), then 22. Twice on CD 17 and 19 :eek:. I Ovd on CD21, but DH had a car crash that day and was feeling poorly.
    Needless to say I nearly broke my DH!

    If your sure you've already ovulated then maybe save the times you need to persuade him for the fertile times! Otherwise you're stressing over nothing.

    Having said that, if you have no idea when you're ovulating you need to bd a lot more so you don't miss it! So perhaps if you knew it might help? Although if you have a regular cycle you could work it out without doing any testing.

    Congratulations nic!

    I have a fairly regular cycle of 27ish days since I came off the pill. However even if you have a regular cycle there is still no guarantee that you'll ovulate on day 14 cos everyone is different. I just didn't want to get hung up on tracking ovulation and timing bd the minute cos that could make me stress more! AF due next weds/ thurs so I'm nearly there.

    Morning everyone.

    What a fantastic thread :)

    I should probably say that I'm a guy (!) but my wife and I have started trying for our first. It's a bit more tricky for us as she is Type 1 Diabetic so has to be extremely careful with her blood sugar control.

    Will definitely be keeping an eye on this :)

    I couldn't agree with you more! I have a cycle between 25 and 29 days (average 28), and always thought I ov'd on cd14. Turns out I'm ov'ing on cd15 or cd16 typically!

    Aww I always hate it when people say that they just BD LOADS to get a BFP.... feels like that's never going to happen for us! :o Isn't there a way of getting PG easily and quickly without having to do it twice a day?! :rotfl:

    Welcome Retepetsir (that's a toughy to get right without triple checking!). Hope you're not too squeamish if you plan on sticking around! :p

    Was just trying to work out if I could go on the Valentines testing/BD list but I don't think the timing is right for me so no dice. :o Not that I need it because currently I'm PUPO and AF is going to stay away, hear me lady?! *shakes fist* :p

    My temps did a little jump but only because it was low yesterday, but got EWCM too so think I'm 1DPO. But it fits timewise.

    That's what I want to know! Every day is impossible for us. Managed it 3 times around ov last cycle which was a record for us but that was almost too much for DH and still didn't get pregnant. I need the ttc instructions for broken people married to panda husbands! Or maybe another husband for breeding purposes. Do you think Alcide from True Blood would be willing? :rotfl:

    Welcome retepetsir (hope I got that right). We've had blokes in here before so you're very welcome.
