When to DTD

According to my flo app I will ovulate next Monday, based on that would it make sense to dtd every other day from today until Tuesday to make sure we've covered the fertile period? Or is that a bit much? Or too little??

Very new to this!!

Every other day should be fine, providing that you know the predicted window is accurate? The app will probably assume you ovulate ton cd14 which not everyone does, ie if your cycle isn't the 'classic' 28 days. If you don't do opks then I would probably dtd every other day for a bit longer. For example my cycle is roughly 32 days but I don't ovulate until usually around cd18, if I stop when the app predicts ov at cd14 then will prob miss it completely!

Thank you!!

Good to know. My cycles can vary slightly in length, the apps now show it as around 31/32 days. So it's showing ovulation to be cd17, with today being cd10. So maybe every other day until at least cd20 might cover it.

I've bought a clear blue fertility monitor but someone on here told me they take a few months to accurately predict ovulation so going to use it alongside the app and see if they're similar.

Thanks for your help :-)
