this is my first month trying and i KNOW my questions must sound so dumb to you...but for those of you who have gotten preggo...did you do it every day for a week or two?...did you use the ov strips and do it a LOT for the two or three days that it says to?....or did you just say 'F it' and do it whenever you felt like and hoped it would happen?
i want to get PG, but i don't want to get like nut about it either (and i can feel myself becoming obsessed with it!!) just wondering about how the process affects other people. thanks guys!

Re: tmi...how much do you do it?
I guessed when I would O, we did IT every other day for about 5 days (total of 3 times) and then I wasn't sure when I was O'ing so we did it a few more times...so all in all, in a 2 week period we did it 7-9 times

Re: tmi...how much do you do it?
When I got PG I knew when I was ovulating because I was charting, so we did it everyday for the 4 days before I ovulated. We got PG the first month trying.

Re: tmi...how much do you do it?
Our situation is the most bizarre... basically (and I'm embarrased to say this), we only did it once in the week I was ovulating... I was sick with strep, then he was sick with strep, and then he went out of town for 5 days on a business trip... I had assumed I was ovulating while he was away, so I pretty much gave up hope for the month of November... but, despite our illnesses, when he came home from Cleveland, we BD'd, and that was the only day even close to ovulation time, on the very tail-end, so I'm assuming that was it! Every other month, we BD'd every other day during ovulation (one month I used an ovulation predictor kit, the other month I just guessed when I thought I was ovulating based on my cycle)...

I just got the opk kit so I know exactly when I'm ovulating - so during that 48 hours we will do it a few times.

Re: tmi...how much do you do it?
The first month we tried we BD's every day for 10 or 11 days - I was charting and for some reason I ovulated very late that month so we just kept doing it until my temp went up, indicating that I had ovulated. The next month I got the ovulation strips. We did it the day before, day of, and day after ovulation (total of 3 times) and it worked! You don't have to do it constantly - just time it correctly. I highly recommend the kits. That's what did it for us, and it took the pressure off of watching the thermometer every day.

Re: tmi...how much do you do it?
I had highly irregular periods (can range from 1 to 4 months in between each!) so figuring out when I ovulated would have been really stressful. So we just aimmed for BD every other day, and it worked in two cycles. (Of course two cycles for me meant four months!)

Re: tmi...how much do you do it?
This is the first month we did it every day around the days I was ovulating (I used the Clear Blue OPK) and i didn't work for me...in the past we were trying every other day with no luck....
