Thank you Atomic, I would try to start earlier this month. The only problem is dh. I think the stress of ttc is getting to him. I am not sure he will be able to have a lot of attempts. When so you suggest we start having sex? I'm on cd3 now. Thanks for your help.

The key is to have the three attempts in the fertile window if at all possible. So just try to time it for that to happen, and if some of the earlier attempts have to go, that's ok.

Atomic, I also wonder if stress is affecting my ability to conceive. I started a new job the month I started ttc. It wasn't expected and since then the job has been very stressful for me. I am considering taking a week off work after ovulation this month. Do you think that would help?

I don't think this is necessary. We don't know that it would help you at all and it may be that it causes stress coming INTO ovulation OR 7 DPO when you have to return to work right when you're newly pregnant. (it's not just after O that stress can affect your ability to conceive negatively). I mean, if you have to do extra work to make up for it, if your boss is a jerk about it, etc. There's just no proof that this would help at all and I can see it being very likely to only create more stress.

Hello Atomic,

I'm on cd12 today. I have already bd cd 11(pm) and cd 12 (am). Please take a look at my test. Is that positive? How should I continue my bd pattern?

Thanks for your help

It's close. I'd have attempt starting tonight, unless you're super invested in timing. I suspect positive will come later today, but may not be till tomorrow. So if you're very concerned with timing you can start attempts tomorrow, but I would start today!

Hello atomic,

So these are the tests from this afternoon. It doesn't look positive, but I forgot i had to and I had a drink of water about an hour before testing.

I've already bd cd 11, 12 and 13. I have a 27 day cycle. What do you suggest I do?

Thank you Atomic,

But I'm in so much pain right now, I guess it's ovulation pain, I don't know if I can bear sex right now. Will acetaminophen be ok to take?

Yes just take an acetomenophen. If that doesn't work, take ONE ibuprofen 200 mg but no more than that.

Sometimes orgasm relieves O pain.
