Anyone know a good an easy site to tell you what days you should have sex an what days you should ovulate?

I was not rdy for this cycle to start i did not think the met woould work this fast for me so i have nothing. No OPK no BBT. No idea how to tell if my body is going to ovulate this time. Usally i dont ovulate so i never get any signs to look for.

I have been going to www.askdramy.com and it lets me put in my cycle day and tells me what day I should be ovulating.
It is a really informative site; Check it out and let me know if it helps at all!
Hope all goes well for you!

How far into your cycle are you? I always start my OPKs on CD 10 so if your cycle just started, you have plenty of time to get some. Ovulation symptoms differ quite a bit from woman to woman. Definitely start paying attention to your cervical mucus. When it's pretty thin, kind of like egg whites, that will usually be your most fertile time. If youu cycle is 28 days, you will most likely ovulate between CD 12 and CD 16. I have a 28 day cycle and I ovulate on CD 15 or 16. Some women get bloated around ovulation. I get tons of symptoms. My cervical mucus thins, I get bloated, I lose my appetite a couple days before, and I get pain before, during, and after ovulation. Each pain is different so I can tell what stage I'm at.If you get OPKs, start having sex every day for 3 days once you get a positive. You should also be having sex every other day before that just in case yo ovulate early and also to keep the sperm from getting too old. Sorry I don't know of a good site to refer you to. I would definitely suggest running to the store and picking up some OPKs though. Taking your BBT will tell you after you've ovulated whereas OPKs let you know beforehand which is why I highly recommend them. Good luck to you!!!

Oh good, you're still early in your cycle. Go get yourself some OPKs and, to be safe, start doing them on CD 10. And remember that it's not positive unless the line is as dark as or darker than then control line. It can't hurt to watch for other signs of ovulation as well. I hope this is your cycle!

I really like www.mymonthlycycles.com. You can chart your cycles, add notes (like when you BD'd) and it have a menstrual/fertility calendar that tells your next cycle date (based on your last) and when you should ovulate. I have found it coincides with my symptoms and such. It's also easy to use and has links to other sites (such as pregnancy, parenting, etc.)
Good luck!

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
