ok so I have no clue
Yes I have 2 kids but I have never actually TTC ....my question is how do I know when I am actually ovulating and when do I BD ....14days after AF starts??? I have a regular 28 day cycle.....
why not just BD everyday right????then I know I wont miss the day
but if someone can just tell me what day to shoot for that would be great

Re: ok so I have no clue
Are you temping? And using OPK's? I was going to post to see if anyone wanted my Taking Charge of your Fertility book, you are more than welcome to it if you'd like.
If it were that easy to just have sex everyday, we'd all have BFP's!
With my first pregnancy, we weren't even trying and now it's been six months and we have not been sucessful - DH is having his sperm checked (it was suggested that if he hadn't had it checked within 6 months to check again) and I will be scheduling my HSG. I often wonder why I was successful while not TTC and now can't get a BFP while we are TTC and following the "rules"

when do you check your temp anyway??
When you first wake up in the morning, you take your temperature with a basal body thermometer. Do you plan on doing this and using OPK's or just trying naturally around the time you ovulate?
Along with using an OPK, some signs of ovulation which I copied and pasted thanks to FeliciaDP:
Not everyone has 'physical' signs of ovulation, unfortunately. That is why charting is a good tool when you don't have physical symptoms. Or even using OPKs help when you just cannot pinpoint your O time based on physical factors...
BUT generally speaking, the most obvious physical symptom of ovulation would be to check your cervical mucus throughout the month...(aka "CM")
When you are about to ovulate, your cervical mucus gets "egg white" in look/consistency .. we have cervical mucus throughout our cycles , so determining the exact "type" of fluid it is will help determine whether you might be approaching ovulation or not.. it basically goes like this:
* Dry or sticky CM right after you get AF
* Creamy, also described as "lotiony" CM as ovulation begins to approach
* Slippery, stretchy like eggwhite CM during your MOST fertile days before ovulation (this is the time to start BDing!!)
* and then usually CM will dry up quickly after ovulation.. BUT it can again come back to creamy during the 2ww
Other symptoms that 'some' people get when they are ovulating is some pinchy/crampy/pain in the area where their ovaries are. (generally one-sided). But unfortunately, not every woman gets this..
