i am on cd 6 now when do you think would be the best days of my cycle to ensure i bd? I was thinking definately days 8,10,12, 14,16 and any days i have o pain or ewcm, do you think this covers all the bases or do you have any suggestions? oh and i don't chart temps i would become far to obsessive if i did

I think your pattern would definitely cover all of the bases... no matter how long your cycle is! It's a great plan...best of luck and baby dust to you!

Plus, DH will be a very happy man.

weepy,
I am with you when you say that you'd become way obsessive if you charted.. I think thats why I feel half crazed at times

. The only suggestion I have is to BD everyday during that fertile phase or every other if you'd prefer. I agree with tglenn though, looks like you'll have it covered

Take Care

How long is your cycle? If it's in a normal range (24-32 dayish), then I'd say start at cd 8 until at least cd 19.

If you use standard day counting method for avoiding pregnancy you avoid cd 8-19, why wouldn't it work in reverse for TTC??

Tracking your temps doesn't help with TTC. It just lets you know that you've ovulated and your chances are over. It doesn't help you know when ovulation is approaching. So your idea of dancing on EWCm days are right.

You might want to go daily once you reach ewcm too.
