Re: I dont know where to start
Welcome. Well, this site is certainly the best site to start with. If your not too sure as far as when you usually O you may want to start with www.fertilityfriend.com to give you a general idea but I just recently learned about Ovulation Kits which you can find at your local pharmacy near Home Pregnancy Tests which tell you exactly when you are O.
You should bd every other day from day 10 - 20 which is what my gyno suggests.
I hope this helps, GOOD LUCK!

Really Quick
Look for stretch cervical fluid start BD'ing. Af is Cycle Day(CD) 1 Around CD 10 start using Ovulation predictor Kits(at any drugstore) test until you see two lines of the EXACT SAME COLOR-This means you will O within 24-36 hrs. Start having $ex that night and for 2-3 nights after. Wait 9 months I hope its that easy for you. Good luck!

Ditto! I got the book Taking Charge of your fertility..I found the book wonderful and easy to read and understand. I also bought the software from the website and use that to track any signs of AF and my O date. CHECK IT OUT...TAKING CHARGE...Fertility
GOOD LUCK!! We all have tons of questions and EVERYONE is great on here ask away!!
