I'm not new to having children (I have 4) but I am new to figuring out exactly how cycles work. My cycle is kinda confusing to me and I am not sure how I should figure out when I am ovulating.
Actually all the technical stuff I see on here is sort of intimidating. I see everyone with charts and temps and the CM inspection. All I know is when I *think* I am ovulating based on the amount of CM I have on a particular couple of days around the middle of my cycle and kinda wing it by that.
My cycles seem to be about 30-31 days, from day one of my period to the next. What does that mean for my ovulation days? Do I have to chart to determine that?
Based on a 30-31 day cycle, my LMP was on Oct 1. I experienced the increased CM on Oct 15-16 and we did the BD on Oct 11, 15, 17, and 18th.
The reason I ask this is because I really have NO idea what dpo I am on. Is it just not possible to really know? I was kind of going on the assumption that I am on 9 dpo right now but now I am not sure.
Any advice? I am really hoping that I am pregnant and just waiting to see what happens. Last time that we decided to get pregnant, I got pregnant that first cycle so I hope its like that again.
