How do you time your shagfests?

We are switching from shagathons timed before during and after ovulation, to the 3 times a week every week NICE recommendations.

The reason for this is because my cycle has suddenly become irregular so ovulation is not so obvious. I haven't done temp charting yet but that will be the next stage.

Due to my age and condition if I don't conceive within a year I will be referred back to my specialist. And if my cycle gets much beyond the current 40 days I will ask to be referred asap Hmm

Wondered how others approach the SWIing? Which method do you reckon brings the most success?

(Obviously, if we shagged twice a day every day that would increase our chances, but it would deplete our energy too!!!)

Not much help but I've been wondering this too. We've just starting TTC and as I was on the pill have no idea how long my cycle is. We've agreed to SWI at least every couple of days, although at the moment it's every day Grin

Not sure how long we can keep it up though!

hi tigereye and ladygonegaga
how are you both
to tigerseye ive never been 28 or 26 days in my life well as far as i can recall
i found my calender for 2008 as it was me to you bear one and i collect them so ilooked at it my periods were from 30 days to 38 or before
anyways now im bewteen 30 and 40 days with last month being 48 days
and month before 38 i think and the month before that i was 30 days and month before that iwas 26 days but that was from spotting for 3 days then had porper period 3 days later
just had enough of it all basically
my periods have been up the creek since april or before ... ihad cin1 then 6month later they checked me again and it turned into cin2.... in jan 2010 i had aloop excision i reckon since then my periods been messed up nightmare
i dont know whats wrong !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and also i bleed from 2 weeks on
this month was 10 days now if iwould of been any longer maybe wioudnt of had the 3 bars this month or if i had adone i wouldnt of able to try to make baby x
dont give up anyone
we all here to support each other x:)

Mine used to be 32 days like clockwork, I have endometriosis so went on the pll back to back for 10 years, came of it then for 3 months reverted to the 32 days clycle, then 34, 34, then 40 Shock

I am 37 so it makes me paranoid that I am heading straight from the pill to menopausal decline...

I hope it settle down this year. Will try the tips above this month and see if anything happens...

Hope you get some answers too :)
