Sorry to be a pain. I generally ovulate on day 18 of my cycle. When is the best time to dtd to conceive? My partner and I have been trying for a while and I'm wondering if we are doing something wrong. Thanks

@allthingssparkly many thanks and I will give that app a go. Last cycle ovulated on day 18 but not sure if I dtd at the right time.

@claireday03 maybe try an alternative app or use OPK's to get an indication of ovulation in your cycle, are your periods regular? I have just started using this app called OvTracker going to see how I get on with this and also go off my CM rather than using OPK's which I did last cycle. I think it's a timings thing for us as I always thought I ovulated earlier than what I do but it appears not.

Good luck to you 🤞

DizzySquirel90 thanks for you response. What days are you calling your fertile window if you ovulate on day 18? I do track my cycles on the Flo app and I feel like it's out on when I ovulate as it says I ovulate on day 16 but last month was 18. Thanks for the help

How are you tracking ovulation? The cycle we conceived, we dtd everyday during ovulation week and my ovulation was on CD18

To add. My ovulation was within the same 18 or so hours of my LH peak, it's not always 24-48 hours after

Every other day or every day if you can for 3/4 days before and after to cover all bases?
