Our first month we just had daft amounts of BD, the second month you should have more of an idea but expect it to be different (probably shorter) but you never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325984 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:14:49 +0000 pui 1325984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like PPs have said, you are much better getting BD in before you O rather than after! That way sperm is there to meet the egg when it arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325764 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:37:54 +0000 LindsayInNY 1325764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: Personally, I wouldn't stress about it this early. I went by the generic chart dates and it was totally inaccurate for me. I have never Oed around CD 14, always 19-21 or so. Plus, although this isn't the case with everyone, my body/cycles were really out of whack my first two cycles off BC. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325761 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:36:48 +0000 deactivated_account 1325761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I don't know what you mean about really getting into it, but you can use OPK sticks and then temp if you want to do that every day. But I'd start with OPK sticks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325745 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:34:04 +0000 snowjewelz 1325745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: Haha true. We haven't even actually start TTC yet... It's just when there is so much information here and on the app I can't help but start to get obsessed already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325722 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:31:26 +0000 snowjewelz 1325722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: I have not started doing anything else.... I downloaded FF more to track my period but then I got into reading all the little things so that's where I started wondering. </p> <p>@LindsayInNY: See above! December was my last pack, and the I had my period and this is the 1st month off it. </p> <p>@PawPrints &amp; @Mrs.Someone: It seems like it is better to let the sperm hang out there before the egg comes! </p> <p>So there is really no way of know when I might ovulate unless I really get into it and track? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325693 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 14:28:15 +0000 whatsarahsaid 1325693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love these charts! Since my first MC in December 2012 I have been O'ing between CD 18-21...BUT I think my body finally re-set itself because I ovulated on CD15 this month which is when I O'ed before my MCs.</p> <p>I was TOTALLY not expecting to O that "early" so we only DTD on -3, -1 and +1. At first I was totally freaked but looking at this chart I think I may be in good shape! YIPEE! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325403 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:34:38 +0000 deactivated_account 1325403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: @Mrs.Someone: I love those charts! </p> <p>@snowjewelz: when in doubt, baby dance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325326 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:17:53 +0000 PawPrints 1325326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Interesting, just did a quick search and it looks like there is at least a little differentiation between the results that various studies have had on this.</p> <p><a href="http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/14/7/1835.full" rel="nofollow">http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/14/7/1835.full</a> </p> [attach=1908/14/mz1mx7.440x342.F2.medium.gif] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325273 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:05:24 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1325273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PawPrints: I think the issue with putting it into a guide is fact checking. I found it via a Google image search, and haven't looked for the study it came from :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325253 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 13:00:54 +0000 PawPrints 1325253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: I've never seen that before. That is fantastic info. Could that be put into a TTC guide if it isn't already, @mrbee?</p> <p>I had no idea the chance of conception 2 days before ovulation was way higher than the chance on the day of ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325145 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:23:26 +0000 LindsayInNY 1325145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: How recently did you get off BC? The fertile dates, depending on the app/chart you're using, are likely default settings and may not be accurate. Are you doing anything else to confirm O? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325123 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:17:33 +0000 MrsKoala 1325123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: Seriously loved that chart when I was TTC. It was the first thing that made me think we had a chance with only O-4 timing!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325097 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:09:34 +0000 Snowdrop 1325097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: ooh like the chart, that like peak on day -4 is interesting, I wonder if it was a small sample size. Either way, a great illustration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325080 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:03:49 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1325080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Behold, the best chart ever (for TTC) </p> [attach=2137/14/mz1jed.300x225.ovulation-graph.gif] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325078 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:03:26 +0000 Snowdrop 1325078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are you tracking ovulation? My first cycle off BC I ovulated late and didn't get and EWCM. I got positive OPKs though. Have you joined the POAS boards? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325060 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 12:00:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1325060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Snowdrop: Yes it does, thank you! Then I better get the husband into bed if my ovulation day is tomorrow....</p> <p>But then again, I just got off BC , I don't even know if my days are accurate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325031 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:53:39 +0000 Snowdrop 1325031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The egg only lives for twelve to 24 hrs and some research shows sperm needs to go through a maturing process in order to fertilise the egg which might take about 10 hrs so you stand the best chance of conceiving if sperm are ready, waiting for the egg. Statistically the best days to conceive are 1 and 2 days before ovulation. Hope this helps :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertile-days-and-ovulation-day#post-1325011 Tue, 07 Jan 2014 11:45:27 +0000 snowjewelz 1325011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am using Fertility Friend app and there are 3 days that I am fertile, and then 1 day after that's my ovulation day (according to the calendar &amp; legend). I thought you are fertile AFTER you ovulate? Technically, which day out of these 4 days would give the highest chance of conceiving? </p>
