Oh yeah, if you're rearing to go and want to do it every day by all means have at it. :-) You just don't have to force yourself everyday if you don't feel like it.
is it true that the best day is the last day that you have EWCM? I had someone tell me that, but we just try everytime its there!! :)
Usually the day it's the stretchiest is the day you ovulate. Do you have any ovulation pains ever? I do, so that really helps! About the every other day for BD though, that is probably better than every day because it increases your partners sperm count. The day in between gives it time to build up. But who knows...
Most likely you might have missed ovulation this month. Dont worry though, you've got plenty of months ahead. Remember to enjoy 'trying' to have the baby to! If you think about it too much you can give yourself stress without even realizing it.
I tried with my husband for about 7 years to get pregnant. We went thru the whole doctor testing etc etc.. Than I met this really nice Asian lady down at my housing communities pool and she talked to me about life changes I needed to make.
She suggested to me to stop drinking soda completely, drink only water, walk at least a mile a day (I walked way more than that back than but still adding it here), and take prenatal vitamins. I was lacking a lot of essential vitamins in the diet I was on (folic acid) and poisoning myself with caffeine.
I did what she said for 3 months and wham I conceived. Crazy!
I think you would benefit by not counting your days and go for a "I want to be surprised when it happens" approach. A lot more FUN dont ya think? hehe
After you've been trying for a year unsuccessfully, than its time to see a doctor.
Good luck!
yes i have ovulation pains. usually they are about 1.5-2 weeks before my next period is due. This past time, there was some really stretchy EWCM. That was after i had my last period though. i think i was probably a week late then.
even before we decided to start trying we had a very healthy sex life. i do remember doing it a couple days before, that day for sure, and a couple days after. maybe if i wasnt pregnant then, i will be now. i work at a hospital and have access to a blood test, when do you think that i could get one done that would be accurate?
