@Witchinaditch Thank you, hopefully we have nailed it this month.

For anyone reading, My period ended Friday 25th October, we DTD 26th, 28th, 31st October, then 2nd and 3rd November. And I am 98% sure I ovulated yesterday going by my CM but can't be 100%, so if we continue as we have until period is due, do you think we have given it our best shot? DH really does not want to do every day as he says he loses the mood for it lol, so I would never want to make him feel pressured. But would you all say we've done OK so far?

I hope so! Good luck to you. Also I mostly go on my CM that’s been the most useful for me, so it sounds like your in tune with your body.

@Witchinaditch Thank you so much. So many women talk about the OPK's and I was beginning to feel like I wasn't doing good enough by not using them but, I really don't want the stress and so many of my friends way back when we were in school (15 years old mostly), got pregnant accidentally so evidently it can happen easily without tracking !

That link is great thank you! I came across that website once and then my internet went off, I tried to find it again and couldn't ! So thank you I will save the link. Cervical Mucus Type 3 is what I had yesterday AM, and then it turned more streaky/clear like egg whites and very stretchy. I never used to monitor these things and genuinely knew nothing about it until we started TTC !

We tried to dtd every other day during fertile time. The month I got pregnant we only dtd once all month though so I think there's a large element of luck/fate! Took us 6 months after ending bc

I worries I didn’t use OPKs I just got to know my Cm by reading articles like that! Really hope it works for you too
