Our "Fertile" days are around the same.Mine is coming up soon as well i think anyways.Hard to say when looking at a calendar without tempting and charting for a few months but seeing as everyone is still TTC here its hard to say for anyone since we are all hoping the same thing.
So my Period calendar is showing me I will becoming fertile on Friday leading to my Ovulation on Monday and will stop being fertile Wednesday. Do any of you ladies have any tricks or any tips to send that sperm to an egg!
TTC #2
What i'm trying: Seed Cycling,Fertility Friend,&Charting.
Thanks @crowqueen03 it's really hard TTC its made me a bit crazy because I'm still trying to have my first little bean. And I wanted to see if anyone has a positions they done in TTC. Ugh hate not being able to get pregnant 4 years of trying and nothing. I was Diagnosed with PCOS but still I guess its not my time yet.
Iv'e been doing "Doggy Style" since its a bit closer to the cervix also i don't produce a lot of CM and hardly any EWCM so i take Evening Primrose oil and Mucinex for that.Also trying baking soda...some people will recommend some are against it and Pre-Seed to help the swimmers up there.

Thank you and i really hope your journey comes to a close soon.Just remember to take it one day at a time.Buy some OPK's and most women on here would suggest fertility friend and a BBT to start charting if you don't get KU in a couple months.

I recommend reading Taking Charge of your Fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help explain your body.
Also those period apps are worthless and just guess at when you may be fertile. If you want to get pregnant without tracking your body (CM, BBT, CP), I recommend having sex every other day that way you'll hit your fertile window no matter when it's occurring. However with PCOS I highly recommend temping your basal body temp to ensure you are ovulating. If you're not ovulating contact a reproductive endocrinologist.
^^This.
The reason the "calendar method" (eg the apps) is flawed is because it assumes a lot about your cycle. Some will simply say "28 day cycle=ovulating CD14= your fertile days are xyz". Unfortunately our bodies don't follow calendars. Even 3 women with similar cycle lengths could ovulate at different times.
Taking your body temperature every morning is the only way to confirm ovulation happened (and then when you need to test and fx get your BFP). We recommend Fertility Friend. If you're mid cycle, I'd wait until the next cycle but you can check your cervical fluid. If it stretches a few inches without breaking, then that's the best and most fertile. This isn't a guarantee but it's a great way to be aware of the changes of your body. Of course, you can use ovulation predictor kits as well.
If you chart, you can always ask for a chart stalk and the ladies on here are really helpful. If you search chart stalk on this board, you will get some great insights on temping etc.
It's clear you haven't lurked. If you want to know all the science behind conceiving, look at the "if you can tell a newbie anything" thread and use the search function to search the boards.
Hello and welcome. It looks like you are relying on the calendar app, which is not accurate. You need to learn to chart your cervical mucus, opks and temp to actually know when you are ovulating. If you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility, by toni weschler, you will be so amazed at what you learn.
As for getting the sperm to the egg, I've heard ejaculation in the vagina is the best way. Lol.

No offense but there is actually no proof that any position is better for conception. The male ejaculation is forceful enough that the sperm can get where it needs to go. But have fun!
To all the really rude people on this post, serious piss off. Clearly 4 freaking years of trying after doctors and doctors telling you that you are fine, isn't anything I've taken to surprise. I've been to a RE, I've been every where wondering whats wrong. I've done everything clearly a penis in the vagina works but my vagina has not been working because I DO NOT GET PREGNANT. I've done even the clear blue test to see when I ovulate, charted my temp and my husband has perfect freaking swimmers. So excuse me if my post was in the way. Next time read my other post maybe you would realize I've tried to conceive since 2011. Thanks for such nice comments no wonder people now in days can't go on the internet. Bunch of bullies seriously how its 6 am and I'm annoyed at the slick remarks and how this shot has me annoyed with all the hot flashes and all my mood swings And most of all my short temp for people who try to be really mean on the internet. Yes I've tried anything to have a baby but I guess having one isn't in my journey thanks for all the GIFs it honestly was nice to feel the way I feel after years and years of trying thanks ladies you know how to feel a girl really welcomed. Goodnight and Please if you have nothing nice to say don't bother replying. Frustration, don't need to add more stress on my life.
If you're concerned about getting sperm to an egg, maybe ask your RE? They should have better answers for you if you want more than just ejaculating into the vagina.

You say all this like we should have known, we don't know you. You're new on this forum and haven't participated and then ask a question and talk about ovulating according to a calander like someone who has no idea how their body works. I'm not sure what you want from us. The answers you got made sense for the way you posted your question.

QFP
If you had given details of your TTC journey in this post, you probably would have gotten a better response. How are we to know that you posted something somewhere else? Your name is unfamiliar. We cannot read EVERY thread on here to know your background story. As PP said, your question seemed like an it was coming from someone that knew nothing about their body or how their fertility works. We get a lot of that... Try lurking, interacting with everyone and supporting others... then, when you ask a question like this, you will get better feedback because people will know you.
You are new and honestly, I skip a lot of threads with subjects similar to this one when posted by someone that is unfamiliar because its usually a drive by pity party or random pee stick. No thanks, I have better posts to read and interact on like a GTKY thread for example...
Sometimes the best way to help yourself is to support others. The ladies on here do that if they see someone taking the time to lurk and interact. Now pick yourself up, dust off your shoulders and start over...
EDIT: looking at your post history, I can see you are not actually new. With that said, I've only been here about three weeks on the regular and your name is still unfamiliar. Just try to interact more. That's all I can say.
I'm confused. You say you've been trying for 4 years and have tried everything? Yet you haven't read a book on conception and you are still relying on a calendar app to tell you when you're fertile? Also, fyi, you are not the only member here who has been trying for years and you received some awesome information.

Did it ever occur to you that you've been missing your fertile window this entire time because the calendar method is crap?
Sorry to be a pity party pooper but that is all very contradictory. If you have been trying for four years and seen an RE, you would know the answers to your questions plus a whole lot more. There is NO WAY you would be here asking us. Your RE would have your cycle monitored even if he couldn't find anything wrong with either of you. There would have been steps taken by now, like iui. Either the OP is not being honest or OP, please, please, PLEASE get a new RE!
