CBFM.....did we BD on the right days?

[shoefay]

Hi, help please!
Have been using a CBFM for a while, this month I got my peak days on day 13 and 14. However, we only managed to BD on day 13......so may be too far away from actual ov? Or will this be enough? Anyone else conceived when they have not BD on all their peak days, or the day before ov?
I know that sperm are supposed to be able to survive for a few days but I am always convinced that it is better if you do it on the peaks just to be sure!??

Thanks ladies, this is driving me nuts, 2 years TTC and need to get my BFP soon!!!!

Not exactly sure how the cbfm works - if it shows peak on day 13 is that like having a positive opk on day 13? Meaning you will ovulate sometime over day 13-15??

If so, then you have done the deed at the right time, but you know yourself you could have upped your chances by doing it day 13/14/15 and possibly 16 too or even day 12.

Did you do it on any other days except 13?
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply! It works by giving you usually 3 'high' days followed by 2 'peak' days. Think the last peak day is when you are supposed to be ovIng. So today is not day 15 and it is showing just high again, I.e think I may have over so we may have missed it???
We also BD on day 11 as well as 13. But now starting to think I may have timed it all wrong this month!
Thanks for listening!
