    DTD advice

    This is our first month TTC and I have a question (or two lol):
    According to my LMP I should ovulate around May 17-22, I'm usually very regular and very fertile. When should we DTD? I'm considering buying opks today because I really don't want to miss my window but I don't want to DTD everyday during my window and raise my Ph.

    I've never used RePhresh or any similar product. Are they easy to use and suggested during this window?

    I wouldn't worry about raising pH. Just do one attempt at first positive OPK and J&D. If you aren't familiar with them then I would suggest a digital one as the ones with two lines can be more stressful than they are worth.

    Are you temping? If not I highly recommend you start immediately, so that you can confirm actual O.

    My Ovulation Chart     currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    What about every third day DTD until after O?

    I haven't started temping yet, this month we are just taking it easy and seeing what nature has in store :-)

    If you want to do that I would DTD every 4th day... Especially if you fall PG very easily.

    one attempt is very very important esp. if you are highly fertile. I really do not recommend any pink swayers DTD every 3 days.
