Goodluck TTC, the pillow thing is a good tip, I would lay like that for at least a 1/2 hour before getting up. Knowing your cycle is a good way to pinpoint when you are ovulating too, it's roughly 2 weeks after the first day of your last period. I never really charted my temps or discharge, I went by my cycle (I am normally very regular) and I did happen to notice the discharge changes when I would get to my ovulation days, so I just went by that, but there are lots of sites that can help you learn how to chart in more detail. If you do decide to temp, take your temp first think in the morning before eating and even getting out of bed, your temp should be consistant but will rise slightly when you are about to ovulate. Then the next 24-36 hours are the best time to BD. Because I didn't use the temping, that's just going by memory...if I'm wrong someone please post where I made my mistake. If you aren't already taking them it's important to take folic acid or prenatal viatmins ask at the pharmacy what they recommend for TTC. Best of luck, keep us posted.
