Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi friends, first of all great place for the knowledge, I should thank all. My problem is that, I am not able to predict the ovulation date, as it is said after 14 days, but question
1) 14 days from start of first day of period or last day of period ?
2) we are trying from past 2 months and want a BABY sooon, can you help me to predict my date ?
My history, first date of period in last 3 months, 12 Sep 05, then 16th Oct 05 and then 22nd Nov 05, and also this month I am feeling that it has formed (though we tried hard, on the period of 05 Nov 05 till 10th nov 05). can you help me to know my period cycle ? is it 28 days or 29 days or 30 days or 31 days and more ?
Plz we want to HAVE baby soon.
3) It is said that, we should have intercourse while planning baby in a alternate days, for good sperm count result in pregancy ? but the alternate days is causing around 40-48 hrs gap in 2 intercource. what's the LIFE of the eggs released during the ovulation ? Plz help me with your suggestions.
Regards,
SP archie replied. for your point 1.
14th day from first day for a cycle of 28-29 days.
for point 2
your cycles are irregular, 34 days and 37 days. from what you told here.
predicting ovulation would be a task.
why not to try by bbt and cm methods combination. this will help you know when is ovulation time or fertile time.
for point 3
your egg will last as long as 12 hours. but good news is if sperms are already in fallopian tube they can survive happily for 3-5 days without trouble so your concern of 48 hours gaps should not be a big problem.
