I have irregular cycles, but tracking them has helped me to determine pretty much to the day when my period will arrive, and when exactly I am fertile in my cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2232640 Fri, 10 Jul 2015 09:13:23 +0000 krispi 2232640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I'm not on BCP, I can definitely tell. My cycles have always been like clockwork. I have obvious fluid changes and can feel ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231406 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:26:27 +0000 mediagirl 2231406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I had no idea either until people started talking about it on boards I joined! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231401 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:25:15 +0000 Foodnerd81 2231401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before and during TTC I knew because I was temping and by tracking my cycle. Then I didn't get a period while I was breastfeeding until about 18 m. The first month after that I knew from feeling and fluids- much more noticeable post baby. And I know I was right about my feeling since I'm 17 weeks pregnant now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231400 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:24:35 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2231400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I didn't know until I read "Taking Charge of Your Fertility", but I have very obvious bodily fluid changes when I'm ovulating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231397 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:22:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2231397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tracking cycle, ovulation cramps, and CM. My cycle is very consistent so it's easy for me to pinpoint ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231374 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:06:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 2231374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oops I meant to also check OPKs and forgot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231371 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:05:49 +0000 Cherrybee 2231371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are somewhere between avoiding and NTNP right now and I know because I track my cycle - but I can also tell from CM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231369 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:04:27 +0000 catomd00 2231369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I track my cycle and it's been consistently 31 days for the last 6 months with cramping on CD 18. I am guessing that's O or close to O day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231365 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:03:22 +0000 lovehoneybee 2231365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, when I was TTC I knew by OPKs, CM and BBT. Not TTC, I could tell by increased CM and sex drive, and occasionally random cramping. I never paid much attention to it when I wasn't TTC, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231363 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:02:12 +0000 autumnlove 2231363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Temping, opk, fluids and tracking cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-when-you-are-fertile#post-2231362 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 11:00:56 +0000 mediagirl 2231362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whether TTC or not...how do you know? </p>
