TRYING TO CONCEIVE

[kambryd]

When is the best time to have sex to conceive when you are using the test strips to find when you ovulate?  Also, What is the vaginal discharge like before ovulation and during ovulation?

Well the month I used and OPK we started BDing every other day then when I got my positive OPK we BD that night and the next and it just happened that the night before I got my positive we BD as well then we did every other night again after that for like the next week.  I got my BFP that month and am now 30 weeks and 4 days so it worked for me.  Also I made sure to lay down for at least half an hour before getting up.  My CM was very thin like egg whites the night before I got my positive OPK and stayed that way for about 2 days.  After ovulation it went back to just a creamy CM.  Good luck!!!!!!

I'm taking the test stripes as well and have yet to get a + so I'm going more by what smj says my mucus and days that ida od last month. But I have a question for u smj y every other day? Is everyday bad? Or does it make it less likely to get pregnant?

For a few days around ovulation you will have an egg white like discharge, clear and stretchy. It's best to have sex every other day around the time you will ovulate, and trying to make one of the days the day you are supposed to ovulate, it's easier to do if you have a regular cycle, but if you have an irregular cycle than just have sex every other day from a day or two after your period ends. You ovulate about 14 days before your period is due to start again so if you count back 14 days you'll know about when you ovulate (you can ovulate a few days before or after on any given cycle but most of the time it's 14 days). The test strips tell you when you should be ovulating anywhere from 24-72 hours later depending on what the test strip pamphlet says. Different tests tell you different time frames for when you'll ovulate. But in my opinion if you know when your period is due and you count back 18-20 days and start having sex every other day from that day until about 10 days before your period is due you will cover any day you could have ovulated.
