Fern test + BBT charting, cont. [Cycle 7]

We are officially past 6 cycles ttc, so we are planning to make our first trip to the doctor to find out if there is anything preventing us from conceiving. At the moment it is difficult to hazard a guess other than our ages, in particular mine. I am 36. DH is 33. This cycle we will try focusing our intercourse on the night before and the day of ovulation, skipping the 2 days before these, rather than doing the recommended every day / every other day in the fertile window. The idea is that in this way the egg can only be fertilised by fresh sperm, and not older sperm. We are again using the fern test to track estrogen levels, and bbt charting to track progesterone. Here are the first saliva samples. Bbt chart to appear.
