just got Af and analyzing

hi, well I just got AF, and now I am going over my calendar (I don't do temps) and trying to figure out if we timed BDing right. Am I wrong to assume that I would have definetly O'd 14 days ago, does it vary? I usually go by cm and figure that the last day of ewcm is when I must have O'd. This month I had good ewcm for 2 days and if I count back 14 days that means I o'd on the first day of ewcm? By not doing temps I'm worried that I could be way off, can anyone please share their opinion with me!!! Thanks Lisa

I am by no means an expert, but it is my understanding that while everyone's LP is different, it is usually consistent month to month for the individual person. I don't know if that makes sense? Your O dates can definitely change, which is why some months have longer or shorter cycles. Let me use myself as an example. I think I have a 14 day LP, and I have cycles that range from 27-31 days. That means I O anywere between CD13-17.
Without using OPK's or charting, it is really difficult to pinpoint an O date. Last cycle I thought I O'd on CD14, but it turns out it may have been CD16. I think I missed it. I guess it is all hit and miss though. If it was an exact science there would be no such thing as "trying" to concieve! The best thing I can suggest (and DH has to be willing) is to BD for at least 2 days before and thru to 2 days after you think you will O to make sure you catch it. Or at least every other day in that time frame. Just my thoughts on the process! :)
