OK. My cycles are 24-25 days long. Accroding to that I should ovulate anywhere from the 9-11. I read that its better to bd a few days before ovulation. What do you guys think? When should we bd? We havent been using anything since Jan but this is our 1st month of counting the days and all that so I am nervou. I need all the help I can get!

Thanks!

Oli,

It’s hard to say when the best time is to BD. It depends on a lot of things. One of the most important is CM. I would BD any day that I had creamy or egg white CM. Prior to those days I tend to BD every other day. You may want to pick up a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I did last month and it answered all my questions about TTC. Hope this helps and good luck!

Definitely BD as much as you can before O. Some say every day others say every other day. I think that all depends on DH's spermies. Sperm can live up tp 5 days in fertile CM. Don't just wait until the day of ovulation to BD. It might help to chart your CM. Then you'll get an idea of when you are ovulating. I chart my CM and temps and it has helped me alot.

Best of luck!
