when to dtd?

[love being a mummy]

I went over my chart for my last cycle.
CD14 - creamy
CD16 - watery
CD18 - EW

Would I have O'd on CD 18?
Should I dtd when the watery CM starts?

Depends how many days you have ewcm for, you can also touch your cervix to see if the opening has become wide enough for the tip of your finger to go in.

Usually have EWCM for about 2 days but last cycle it only lasted a few hours due to L-arg.
I have a hard time reaching my cervix.

Will you be using opk's? If you squat down in the shower and insert your middle finger you may be able to reach the back. So if you dtd when you have watery cm, then again when it turns ew, that would be like the O-2 + O.

Yes I'll be using opk

I'm sorry I just saw this - I don't always check this section thoroughly so if you want to attract my attention, be sure to post in the sway section.

Do you usu. ovulate on day 18?? Or is it later than that?

You can try to DTD every 2-4 days thru your cycle and then try to fit in two or three attempts in your fertile window. So I would try to time it to BD when you get a pos opk and then again the next day and just not worry about what CM is doing because the supps can screw up those patterns anyway.

Thats ok I know how busy you get.
I don't expect you to be able to answer every post.

The last 2 cycles it was CD18

I am CD 12 now, I think creamy/cloudy CM might be starting.
We DTD CD9 and CD11.

I think CD 16 and 18, O-2 and again on O!

This sounds like a great plan but I did want to let you know, it's ok to DTD 2 times in a row because sperm count won't be lowered much if at all - for frequent release to sway pink, they have to DTD for 7-10 days in a row and for some guys not even that is enough and they have to release twice a day.

Point being, you can DTD on O-1 and O day rather than O-2 and O if that feels safer. It WILL raise your odds of conception.

I think that is what i am going to do.
