Please help me figure this out**Updated ***8/8/08
Hi ladies,
Many of you know me but I have a few questions. I feel a little a shame not knowing when I can get pregnant. So what better way than to get a fake screenname. (LOL) Okay here goes....
First day of my period was 7-24
Ended 7-27
?? When should we start BD?
Thanks ladies for the support you give everyone.
8/8/8/ ( Lucky day for me so far)
I took the OPK test and I got a BFP. So now what. ( I know Bding but how often) I don't know it DH is ready for this.

Re: Please help me figure this out
the only way to 'truly' answer your question is to figure out when you ovulate...
do you have a regular cycle, and if so - when do you normally ovulate? (do you have any idea)
I ask, because some girls (myself included) can feel it - i get cramps like you wouldn't believe....

Re: Please help me figure this out
How long are your cycles, that's really the only way to be able to begin to figure out when you ovulate.

Re: Please help me figure this out
by how long was your cycle we mean:
how long from your first day of a full blown period to the first day of your full blown period THE NEXT MONTH?
That number of days is important...

OMG - don't be sorry - i was just trying to explain it the best way i could think of.. 
You said you felt no 'ovulation' symptoms. Do you know anything about CM (cervical mucus)?

Typically with a normal cycle and luteal phase, you should get your period 14 days after you ovulate. I would venture to say you ovulate anywhere between CD14 -CD16. If you are using OPKs, I would start testing for ovulation on CD 11 to be on the safe side.

Re: Please help me figure this out
Since your period ended yesterday and you dont know if/when you ovulate, i woul suggest getting an OPK and start testing around CD10-12(the 1st day of your period is CD1 (cycle day)
So for you- today is cd5.
When you get the + on the OPK, make sure you have sex those days

Re: Please help me figure this out
How aggressive to you want to be this month?
I would suggest going to Target and getting Clearblue Easy Digital Ovulation Predictor Tests. Start testing on Monday 8/4.
In three days, start to have s e x every other day. Once your ovulation predictor gives you a smiley face, have s e x that day and the following two days.
If your period doesn't come by 8/23, use a pregnancy test. I recommend first response early result.
Best of luck!
