This will be our first month TTC so I am a little confused as when to start BD. I am only CD11 of a 29 day cycle. My OPK says to start testing tomorrow. I have been of BC for 1.5 years and I am really regular I am usually on a 29 day cycle sometimes its 28 though. Should we start BD now? or wait till I get a positive OPK also when should I take the OPK? Is it ok to do in the morning? I drink so much water during the day I don't want it to mess up the results. We plan to BD every day I may be fertile. I have Preseed and also plan to get and use an Instead Softcup (I want to cover all my bases lol). I just need some guidence this is all new to me. I don't temp and I really hope I don't get to that point.

@MarryMeTiffany:  OPKS are supposed to work best in the afternoon with concentrated urine that you get from not drinking and not peeing for several hours before testing.    I posted a nice little chart from www.peeonastick.com on the "First-Timers" thread that you can check out to see when the best time to begin using OPKs is.  I suggest using 1 per day at first, and then using two per day as they start to get darker, since normally you will have a fade in.  I tested with FMU and then after work on the days I tested twice.  As for the BD timing, there is no reason to abstain now, just keep doing what you would normally do and when you get a positive OPK take it up a notch.  Also, I would like to add that temping is also a "point I didn't want to get to" at first, and I regret that.  I should have started temping as soon as we started TTC, it is by far the most informative fertility tool and will only help you to understand your body and cycles better.  

@skipper2010:  I agree, if you have sex about 3 times a week, that should just about cover it :) That way, you won't have to worry about which week is the right week!

Good luck.....very exciting!!!

Thanks ladies :) We did the BD on CD10 but not CD11. We are now on CD12 and I informed DH we will be BDing every night until CD18 lol he had no arguements as long as I keep it fun and not just for baby making I think I can handle that ;)

I would start BDing now, if your luteal phase is 14 days you should be ovulating soon.

DH and I had sex EVERY day during my fertile week. So about 5 days before ovulation, then the day after, we also used preseed and it worked. The month before while trying we did every other day and it did not work, it obviously could have been coincidental but I beleive in doing it everyday unless your SO has a known low sperm count. I would suggest BD BEFORE your positive OPK just to cover all your bases, then obviously during the positive, and after the positive(when you ovulate)...good luck to you!!
