or Very sad , and dh keeps telling me to stop worrying it will happen when the time is right argh, I feel like he doesnt understand .. Anyway my question is to you all . Has any got any tips on how to conceive Question , I have a 28 day cycle and I am regular every month. I am beginning to think it seems ridulous to only have sex when u ovulate :d especially when it doesnt seem to get me pregnant . I have also been having my legs up in the air ater bd does anybody think that is really nessary Question I havent been charting all I have been doing is checking ecwm and when I am fertile we bd . And wait for a few weeks hoping for the best, but of course nothing happens .

Hope someone can help, as we are all in the same boat . Maybe someone can be a waiting partner with me Question when can I take the test ?? And how long do I have to go without urinating Question before I can test Question

Hey,

welcome to the forums

to be honest with you I do pretty much the same thing you do and both times i've done it it has worked. My cycle is 28 days. I usually have sex 10 days before the first day (4 days before ovulation) of my last period till about 17 days from the first day of my last period because you only have 12-24hours for ovulation (the time the egg actually is able to become fertalized) it's smart to have sex a couple of days before you ovulate so the sperm is there waiting for the egg just incase your not able to have sex on a certain day or whatnot (sperm can live up to 5 days). You should ovulate around the 14th day however some ppl do ovulate at different times. The best way to predict that is by charting your bbt or by maybe getting an ovulation kit. That can help incase you might be ovulating at a different time. I usually don't put my legs in the air rather my hips. I put a pillow two under my hips and just lay like that for about 20-30 mins. Some ppl say it doesnt work but I say it does. As for taking a test it would be smart to wait till the first day of your missed period even though there are tests out there that allow you to test a day or two before your period. For best results you should test using first morning urine speically if your going to test before you've missed a period. However most tests these days will tell you that you don't have to use first morning urine. You should wait 4-7 hours though and don't drink too much water that will dilute the urine and may give you false results. Don't worry too much most Dr. Won't be worried until a year of trying has passed before they run any tests. Give it a couple of more months.

Good luck
