Hi Louise,

One thing constant about the menstural cycle is that period will arrive (if not pregg) 14 +/-2 days after ovulation and ovulation can itself happen anytime. Usually if one is regular, it happens at the same time every month.

So, if you Od on Cycle Day 8, then you would get AF or + HPT on CD 20-22. OPKs are more reliable than BBTs. Next cycle (hopefully u get preggo this time), start doing OPKs early enough since it you think u are ovulating early.

The chances are 0% if u have sex 24 hrs after ovulation. U need to start having sex every other day 5 days prior to O and then day of O and next and next. Yup men do get these issues coz of all the pressure and stress on them. Good luck and hope u get preggo soon.

One thing about trying to get pregnant is that it requires sex on demand. This takes all the fun and mystery out of it for the man, making them feel like they are being forced to love their wives. I find it helps if you are playful about it and don't mention a word about babies or fertility. Hype him up throughout the day and then play hard to get. I know it is a lot of work but it is better than missing the important days. Remember, when making love men want to focus on you, they don't want to think about their families because it reminds them of other responsibilty and makes them feel responsible if it doesn't work out this month.
