The other cycles it seemed perfect, but wasn't. We got pregnant on cycle 4. Like @Mrsjets, we used NFP/charting to prevent and give me a better understanding of my cycle.

We DTD 6 days prior and 4 days after as we are not everyday people. We also used NFP (and PAP) to prevent and it has never failed us.

I got a positive OPK. We had sex about 15 minutes after I took it. Boom. Knocked up. illumina on "BFP v BFN - how do you usually feel like your timing was?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-v-bfn-how-do-you-usually-feel-like-your-timing-was#post-910936 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 11:20:08 +0000 illumina 910936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Honestly, the BFP cycle, I still do not understand how it happened- because we only bd'd twice and both times were well after I noticed the positive OPK, so I was sure we'd missed it. The month before, when it didn't happen, we bd'd at least once a day through the whole 2wk middle of the month time! delight on "BFP v BFN - how do you usually feel like your timing was?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-v-bfn-how-do-you-usually-feel-like-your-timing-was#post-910932 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 11:11:12 +0000 delight 910932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I always felt like our timing was "so-so". We definitely weren't an "everyday" couple. The first time I got pregnant we DTD on 0-3 and 0-1 and had a mc. The second time we got pregnant we were 0-3 and O. I'm a firm believer in it only takes one time! The 5 cycles spent TTC we only hit 1 or 2 days during the fertile window.

First one-- DH had an unexpected business trip and was gone for the 2 weeks in the middle of my cycle, I knew there was 0 chance. Second and third cycles trying I know our timing was very, very good. BFN for the second, BFP for the third. I was charting my temps and could confirm that the timing had been spot on for both. mlm2934 on "BFP v BFN - how do you usually feel like your timing was?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bfp-v-bfn-how-do-you-usually-feel-like-your-timing-was#post-910905 Sun, 07 Jul 2013 10:29:28 +0000 mlm2934 910905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ When we tried before, I felt like our timing was ok, but there were "problems" with the first two months. The 3rd cycle when I got BFP, it felt like we did everything right. So here I am at cycle trying #4 (1st post-MC), feeling like our timing was perfect. Do you usually feel like your timing was great or have cycles you consider "duds"? How did you feel about it the cycle you got your BFP?
