ARe u saying that u are on cd 11?  It can not hurt to have sex if u think u are ovulating.  i would do it before he left for sure. sperm can life for up to 5 days.  Ew cm is a good sign.  IF your cycle usally is 28-31 days then this means u usally ovulate between cd 14-17. U get the lh surge 24-48 hours before u ovulate. THis means u should start test cd 12 if u never get af before cd 28. If u do then start at cd 11 to be sure u dont miss it.  I hope this helps.

Hi.Am cd 13 tday and hubby went this morning...on cd 12 went for follicle check and was told that i have one mature follicle19mm...how big is it supposed to get anyway..?we tried again last nite and i hvent left bed,still lying on a pillow...only got up for the toilet every now and then.I do feel a bit silly..what do u think?I dint bother doing the ov test since i went for ultra sound..an she told me it,ll pop in 2days.

ultra sound is better then pos/ov test anyways. 15+ is great for follicles.  Dont feel silly we all do stuff to help our chances. I usally lay there for 30 mis to 1 hr. When will dh be back? u should  bd as soon as he gets back.  I am praying that u hit your magic day. I wish i could go in for scans on my natural cycles but the insurance would charge me for those.

The follicle size sounds conforting.Mr is coming back in 10 days which i believe will be too late but wont hurt to....if he was here i'd lay there for just an hour or so bt since he wasnt...i thought i'll stay longer.We r lucky we can go for those check ups..we pay from our pockets since it isnt expensive..Thx for ur prayers and Gd luck to u
