We're TTC a girl and doing the timing sway. So far we've had 3 unsuccessful months. Part of the issue is I have developed slightly irregular periods which makes ovulation difficult to predict.
I read a book which said to start with 7 days before ovulation but there was no chance of that working! Then I tried to aim for 5 days before but ovulated late that month so was out of my fertile window - but I was too afraid to DTD later in case I ended up right on ovulation!
This month I used clear blue dual hormone and it gave me 7 high fertility days before my peak so again I was just guessing when to actually stop DTD. I wanted to aim for 4 days before but it ended up being 5 days. I'm waiting for AF now and all tests negative so it didn't work.
Basically I want to DTD up to 3 or 4 days before ovulation this month. Does anyone have any smart ideas how I can get that close but not go too close when I have an irregular period and find ovulation hard to predict?
Nightmare!
