    Again, thank you True Blue and maidentomother for advice. Will follow and BD again on Thursday (although, the holidays caused me to cheat savagely on my sway. However, as Atomic always says, you never know when Goldie will show up - argh!) Maidentomother, does my cycle info mean anything in regards to this?

    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    I think it's time to switch to every 4 day method, so BD unprotected every 4 days throughout the cycle.

    AAhhh, BD'd Thursday and just checked in again today.....so Atomic, just so I'm clear, if this month doesn't take, after AF departs, BD every 4 days and just disregard OPK testing altogether? Any other advice that would be helpful as well?

    You may want to try having an orgasm or laying flat longer.

    Ok, so fifth attempt was a big fat fail AF paid me an unwelcome visit. Going for change-up and will BD every four days this month. I was thinking I should only try this for two months and if it doesn't work, go to what worked for me in the past: several attempts just before and in the fertile window. Just worried about age here, people. Thoughts?

    Also, could a moderator or vet please respond regarding instructions on posting. I'm totally lame in this department. Should I keep rambling in the same thread? Or find a thread more related to the topic I'm discussing? Or start a brand-new thread when I have a new/different question or thought? Help!

    Maybe try every 4 days this cycle, and if that doesn't work try every 3 days next cycle? That's what I would do. I will be going to every 3 days next cycle myself if no luck this month. If no luck from THAT after 1- 2 cycles, I will try every day from CD1 until 4DPO!

    Just curious, what is the reasoning behind starting on CD1? Isn't that way too far in advance of ovulation?
