ok so how do u ladies know when u ovulate? i got a positive opk on the 6th which i guess means i could have ovulated on the 7-9th??? is that correct? DH and i BDed on the 7th, and 9th and i had a little creamy white CM on the 8th... very confused... please offer me any insight :)

creammy is not good cm you want the egg white cm which indicates ovulation. When you get a + is when you should BD! Your eggs only live for 12 hours and it could of been 12 hours prior to your last test. Taking your basal body temperature insures you catch ovulation. It is good to BD a couple days before you O, the day you O and the next night just in case it was later and you catch it at the end. 24 hours after your test means and you have had your temp rise means it is too late. Sperm can live in good cm for up to 3-5 days so before you O is better then after! You would not have any eggs living by the 8th or 9th. GO to fertility friend .com and it tells you everything you need to know. You can chart for free even after your free trial and don't have to give credit card info. It has a course that goes to your email to help you learn.

Sometimes I can tell because I get cramp like feeling on my left or right side.  I can tell better sometimes than other times.  Also my I get an EWCM.  I think if you got a positive OPK on the 6th that your ovulation was between the 7-9th like you thought.  Good luck and I hope everything goes well for you.
