pointers?

I know it hasn't been LONG, but this will be my 4th month TTC and I was wondering if anyone here can give me some pointers of what I could be doing to make this happen! I have a very regular cycle (28 days always), and I ovulate at the same time every month, so I figured that I would be just fine, and hoped it would happen quickly for me but I guess not.. We did Deanna's Plan every month so far

TIA

What worked for us twice was the day I finished AF we would bed, 2 days later bed, then every other day for a week and a half, then every 2 days until a couple days before AF was due. It was exhausting but, like I said, worked twice for us. After each time I would put my butt on a pillow with my legs in the air for 10 minutes. The ONLY times I got pregnant was when I did the pillow thing.

Good luck and I hope you get your BFP soon!

Good luck!!! Hope it works for you! Just remember to keep it fun in the bedroom, otherwise it becomes a job.

I want to do this.... but that is so much to remember.. it's like scheduling appts.. and I don't want it to start feeling like that Chat Icon Can I just BD every day or every other day all month? Chat Icon

Absolutely, every other day is best advised I think, not every day. I just did it this way because I didn't want to over do it until we reach fertile time. My friend did every other day for a month and BAM pregnant.

Honestly, if you and DH have no medical conditions, you can just BD the morning after you get a smiley face and te next morning. That should do the trick.

I used PD app (Period Diary) and I swear that's how we got PG! (besides the obvious, lol) We got a BFP the first month we started trying bc I followed it. It was easy to use and it worked. This month is our first month trying and we are just having fun, but I might start using it next month.

Re: pointers?

for two months i was calculating everything. i decided not to, and just enjoy it. i didnt even think that i had sex on the "right" days and lo and behold, i got pregnant the month that i took the stress away. unfortunately i MC, but i got pregnant.

i stressed myself that i wanted to be pregnant quickly because of my age and if i wanted more kids i would be getting "up there" but you know what? life will do what it is supposed to.

just enjoy it! dont make yourself crazy, it only makes matters worse.

good luck!!

I'm very irregular anywhere from 26-37 days.
I started tracking in August using Mydays and Fertility Friend. December we finally did BD every other day stating a few days before pay predicted ovulation and I got a BFP this week.
Don't stress, have fun and good luck to you!!
