Ttc for 3rd month

Linzy88

Hi I am new just wondering if my projected date for ovulation was the 29th of July or the 30th of July, could having sex on the 23-25th, 27th, 29-31st of July and the 2-3rd of August, could these be the right dates to achieve conception? I have had 3 dreams in the past three days that have been centered around babies, and it's also uncomfortable to sleep straight on my stomach.

Yes, if you have sex on the days prior to and the day of conception (as you think you have), you can "achieve conception".  

Bonus help:  If you've had three dreams around babies, it's because you're obsessing about TTC.  If you can't sleep on your stomach, you probably have gas, because if you're not even 7 days post conception (which is actually farther than you think you are), the egg hasn't even likely implanted and it would make exactly zero difference in your sleeping position.

1.  the dreams you have and the way you sleep have nothing to do with it. 

2. Where are you getting July 29th or 30th as ovulation dates- are you charting?

Well I know that my cycle is normally around 29 days and I chart my cycle but not bbt or opk

So, how do you chart then?  Where are you getting your ovulation date?  Cause if you are just  counting 14 days in to your cycle, it doesn't exactly work that way.

Are you recently off of bcp?  Experiencing any stress?  A change in your routine?  An illness?  Disrupted sleep?  These can all affect your cycle.

I'm cackling.  And I don't take cackling lightly.

Well... yes, you have the dates down.  Having sex at or around the time of ovulation is how you attempt to get pregnant.  Not sure why that's a question.  But baby dreams and stomach discomfort a mere 5 or 6 days after ovulation aren't signs of pregnancy.  I'm not saying that you won't wind up pregnant (there is a 20% chance of conception when sex is timed perfectly) but you definitely aren't right now.

I would have sex those days. But just bc you do doesn't guarantee pregnancy. Good luck.

Btw my baby dreams did not start til third tri and boy were they crazy.

Hmmm... Could work out. Also, I slept on my stomach pretty much until 39 weeks and only stopped then because I basically stopped sleeping all together due to contractions and all around restlessness until the birth.

So... you're saying you guess when you're ovulating.

Dude, the calendar said she was ovulating and we all know calendars dont' lie.

This is the definition of not charting. FYI.
