We've been ttc for about 6 months - I'm feeling frustrated as I'm 36 and got pregnant with DS straight away (he's now 18 months).

I'm trying not to let it get me down but I'm starting to wonder whether a more scientific approach is needed. So far, we've been doing lots of random BD'ing and not much else.

It's 17 days since my last period ended. Today I had a mucus-y discharge and I've just started getting pains (which I have always assumed are ovulation pains but I could be wrong).

My questions are; when should we be BD'ing? Poor DH turns pale every time I drag him up to the bedroom "for another try", so it would be nice to concentrate our efforts so we're doing it at my most fertile time.

Secondly, should we be using persona or something else to increase our chances? I'm embarassed to admit that I know so little about these things, but I feel like time is running out and I need all the help I can get.

I would really appreciate hearing anyone's thoughts before DH collapses in an exhausted heap!

i am laughing at myself, even though i have tried to steer clear of predicting and monitoring these last two months, i have just phoned dp at work all hysterical that my eggs are released and he needs to come home and impregnate me before our friends come over for the weekend!
OMG - im obsessed!
