Hello, I had my merina coil removed three weeks ago to try for our second baby. I know it's not 100% but we have a boy and my husband and I would like a girl so we thought we'd try the shettles method. Was planning to use my period to start to guess when i'll probably be five days before ovulating and then start using kits to make sure and get a sense of my cycle. However, I was hoping my periods would have started by now and they haven't so I have no idea about my cycle. I'm worried about having sex in case it's the wrong time (I.e. too close to ovulation) but at the same time we want to get on with it. So are in limbo! So i am just wondering.....I know that there are usually signs you are ovulating..... but are there signs you are five/six days before? Or will i havr to wait until i have regular periods to know?And is that fact that I've not having a period yet means I'm not even fertile yet! Sorry to be asking silly questions about cycles etc? Biology was not my strong point at school!!
