When "O" and when to BD?
| Wed, 08-20-2003 - 4:03pm |
How does it work?
If I have discharge today (none yesterday), that means I am about to ovulate?
Does it mean I am ovulating or about to?
When do I BD?
I don't take the temp, so that doesn't help.

As far as your CM goes, it needs to be either the consistency of egg whites(best) or watery(2nd best). Since we have CM during most of our cycle, you'll need to monitor. The egg white CM (EWCM) usually appears a couple of days before you O. This is the best time to BD.
Since the sperm need to "transform" for 12 hours and the egg dies after 12 hours, then BDing on your actual O date might not work. Most people on this board get Pregnant when they BD either 2 days or the day before O. This is because the sperm can travel and live in our system for up to 3 days in fertile quality CM (EWCM). They can be ready and waiting in our tubes when the egg is released.
Hope this all helps!!
