Hi there!
I'm wondering if anybody here knows
what the chances are of becoming pregnant
while you're not necessarily "most
fertile". I'm always reading those
ovulation calculators that tell you when
your most fertile times of the month are,
and I know it's POSSIBLE to get pregnant
outside of that span, but I'm curious as
to if it's even worth trying when you're
not you're most fertile. Thanks so much in
advance for any thoughts!

The ovulation calculators are tough,
because they figure you have a 28 day
cycle. Most women have different cycles
and have other factors that can cause them
to ovulate at different times or not at
all. I have pcos, so I can ovulate
anywhere from cycle day 10-30. I use
ovulation predictor kits so I know if I am
ovulating and they help me to track my
days so I know when to do a pregnancy test
and such. Alot of women on here temp and
that seems like a great way to track
ovulation. I would say if you are not
doing any of those things, than you should
dtd all the time because you just never
know. I wouldn't rely on the calculators.
I have found also, that dtd just because
your fertile and no other time, can put a
strain on the relationship. I never tell
my dh what cd it is or say we "have to"
or don't have to. It would take all the
fun out of it.

Sometimes its tough to get my dh in the
mood during the fertile time, but I do
tell him about it. It makes it less
spontaneous, but we try to enjoy ourselves
anyway.
Outside of the fertile time, we don't
worry about our timing. We just have fun
when we feel like it.
