You actually ovulate about 2 weeks after your period, assuming you have a 28 day cycle. Technically though it is 2 weeks BEFORE your next period (which works out the same, only if your cycle is 28 days). Since you cycles are 26 days, that means you ovulate around day 12 of your cycle, which would have been around July 5. So you started a little early but since sperm can live up to 5 days, the timing was probably pretty good. Hope it happens for you this month!

well i think your chances are as good as anyone elses... my doctor told me two things that you might want to know... if you are going to keep your hips up after sex... hold them up ATLEAST 20 minutes...like with a towel under your hips... and when i asked her if the sex position mattered... dh on top or me on top, she said it didnt matter as long has you have the sperm in you and then you put your hips up for 20 minutes or so, your chances would be good... also you both might be in good health, but you may have some sort of unbalancement in your diet, or maybe your bf sperm is to thick... which is not uncommon... but can be treated... let us know how you do.

It sounds like your doing everything right, with the corrections the ladies above gave you! Just remember that it can take a healthy couple an average of 1 year to conceive and that there is only a 25-35% chance every month that it will happen...some ladies on the board it has happened the first month and others have been trying for years...be patient, try to relax (although its hard, I know), and have fun practicing...keep things exciting and fun for you and bf! Best wishes and baby dust!
P.S. Are you charting bbt, cm, cp, OPK, and/or ovulation microscope? These tools/techniques can help you to pin point ovulation.
