    I just don't get it...

    Okay there are probably a thousand posts exactly like mine, but being new to all this TTC stuff I am so totally lost. What is CD, DPO, EWCM and HPT! I am so confused

    Is there someone or something to tell me when hubby and I should and when we shouldn't!

    Whats the best and whats the worst, every day once a week... where do I even begin!

    Help?

    CD= cycle day.. refering to what day of your cycle you are on. DPO = days past ovulation.. referring to how many days since you ovulated. EWCM = egg white cervical mucus.. the fertile kind! & HPT = home pregnancy test.

    HTH's

    as for when to DTD... Close to ovulation. So you need to track your cycle & work out when you think you are ovulating. Then go like mad LOL ORRR just go like Mad all the time! hehehehe

    ETA Snap JM...I was too slow.

    Here is a list of the acronyms and abbreviations for you.

    Fertility friend is a great source of info on all things fertility but basically DTDing around ovulation time is the go.

    Learning about your cycle is a great start as everyone is different.
