Best time to DTD

[allthingssparkly]

So me and my partner have already started DTD this cycle, I'm on CD9 and still getting "low" readings on my OPK's. Are we wasting our time in DTD with me not having reached my peak yet? Or is it beneficial to DTD now in the run up to hopefully getting my peak in the next few days 🤞 I want to be able to maximize our chances so any hints and tips send them my way!

How long are your cycles normally?

Otherwise it depends on your sex drive - you wouldn't want to burn out too soon and then not be able to have sex when it counts the most.

Your most fertile days are the three days before ovulation so it's definitely worth not just waiting for a peak reading (especially as you could ovulate the same day as the peak) but perhaps once you figure out roughly when you tend to ovulate you won't need to start quite this early.

For reference my average cycle was 27 days and I'd start DTD around cd11.

@Juno231 My cycles are 29 days 😊 This is the first month of me using OPK's to try and understand when exactly I'm ovulating.

The Pre Mom app is telling me my fertile window starts tomorrow, and that my ovulation date is CD15 I suppose that may vary though I think that's just going off an average.
