Hello everyone!! Just found this board today and I hope to get to know you all!

AF arrived yesterday so I figure I will be O'ing around August 9-13th. My question is when should be start trying? How often? This will be our first baby and I'm 31 years young. Thanks in advance for any info!!

Hi, Mindy! I'm so sorry your post was missed yesterday, I hope you're still around to see this!

Welcome to the board! It is recommended that you bd(baby-dance/sex) for about the 5 days before "o" is expected until a couple days after. If you don't know for sure when to expect "o" then you need to increase this. For ways to determine more accurately when "O" is occuring, click on the FAQ link at the top of this page and check out our board website~ it will give info on the basics. If you think there is no sperm count issues with DH, then bd every day during your fertile time. If there may be an *issue* suspected then bd every other day~ my Dr recommended this regardless of sperm count. This will give DH some recovery time to build his supply.

I hope this helps, and I hope your stay with us is a short and sweet one!

Hi Mindy,

Welcome to the board! I am also new here, and just about to start our first month TTC. (Of course I'm going nuts now because I'm a week late!). Anyway, I am also 31, and working on baby #1. I'm sure we'll see each other around.

Best of luck!!
