Ttc- but how soon do i try and what method to use?

[law0427]

Hello everyone!

New to the site and seeking some fellow TTC ladies to assist me with some questions!

My husband and I are in the process of trying to conceive, hopeful for a little girl (of course we would be just as happy if we have a boy!)

I just recently ended my period on Oct 10th and my fertile window became open (if my app is correct) today. We had sex the night of the 10th unprotected, however there was still a little bit of residue left over from my period afterwards even though it hadn't been that way at all that day. Then on the 11th, I bled a little bit the whole day, but not enough to need to change a tampon but once. It was strange.

My question is, was that too soon to try? Maybe I wasn't technically fully off of my period.

Also, should I stop trying right before my actual ovulation day and the day of? It says I should if I want to have the best odds for a girl, but I'm afraid if I don't try on my actual ovulation day that I wont get pregnant!

Thanks in advance for any help!
