Since I KNOW i'm over thinking this and I'm driving myself NUTS maybe a little input would help me stop obsessing.
I got a slight line on OPK today which means tomorrow i'll have a positive (usually) I should be Ovulating on either Thursday or Friday. Would you BD today, skip tomorrow and then again on Thursday? Or would you skip tonight and go for tomorrow, thursday & friday? I told myself EOD this cycle but I'm so paranoid about missing the best day. Today no EWCM yet just watery so far.
I know this might sound silly but i can't stop thinking about what to do- even though i told myself this cycle i would not over analyze. No flames please
Re: Over-thinking when to BD
Since you can't know for sure when you will ovulate, I would stick with EOD as planned. The "best days" are often debated, so I don't think there is such a thing. I'd say have sex tonight and go EOD until ovulation is confirmed by FF.
That's just what I would do! I'm not exactly an expert
Good luck!

Don't feel bad about obsessing. I am guilty of it too!!
I personally would BD today, Thursday, and Saturday. That way you have the majority of your bases covered. If you happen to ovulate early you cover it today. If you ovulate on Thursday or Friday, BDing on Thursday should cover that. I would also include Saturday just in case you ovulate late. I am religiously regular and this month I ovulated 3 days after I normally do.
Good luck!

Me too!! I am definitely guilty! Don't feel bad about it, sometimes its hard to line up schedules or life in general to BD so a little planning is required
I would say EOD starting today. Good luck this cycle!
Thanks for the input ladies! Last month I didn't obsess as much and I think we BD way too much as a result of just going for ED. It calms my mind a little to hear it from someone else instead of myself!

You sound like me this cycle. DH and I are trying EOD this cycle because we usually do ED *all the time* and decided to try and let him increase his supply in case we've used it up over the last few years. Or that was our thought. We had sex yesterday but today I saw EWCM and now I'm stressing that we should get one in today. But then I'm afraid of messing up the EOD schedule we are trying. I never thought TTC would be so stressful and I laugh at the things I have to think about. I have an OB appointment Thursday and I'm going to ask her opinion and really hope she's going to tell me I don't need to be this worried about it! That said, I try to just be zen about it and realize we have our bases covered. Easier said than done though!
