    Discouraged

    It is hard to know when to try, not everone has a 28 day cycle. The book taking charge of your fertility is great because it helps find signs that you are close to ovulation. I conceived on day 28 of my cycle, had I not been doing temp. charting, I would have assumed I already ovulated.
