Sorry but this is not good advice because how do you know if you're average? There's no way she can know unless she tracks ovulation.

If you get your period regularly, it is good advice. Subtract 14 days from your cycle length.

Sorry but you are wrong. I get my period regularly. Every 34 days. My luteal phase is only 11 days, though, so if I used your advice, I would miss my ovulation completely.

Luteal phase is less variable and is generally 13-14 days.

True for everyone? No. A place to start without documented issues and easier than temping etc? Yes.

True about LP lengths...mine can vary between 11-13 days. OP, if you want to make sure you are in your window, just BD every other day after your period until the end of your cycle (or maybe till CD 24ish).

Is there a reason you want to do all that right out of the gate?

This is terrible advice.

I second the person who says read Taking Charge of Your Fertility. If you don't want to spend the money, then spend some time reading the e-book available for free at FertilityFriend.com -- I found that site to be an AMAZING resource when I was TTC my first and am going to read it again now that I'm starting again hoping to try for a second 3 years later.

Unless you are quite old I wouldn't bother with that stuff for a few months at least.

I get my period regularly. But I ovulate around day 23 or 24. Not good advice. If you really want to TTC quickly, you need to get a lot more precise. If you don't mind if it takes a long time, then sure, you can just aim for somewhere around the 14th day and you may get lucky.

LP length varies. It's not good advice.

Read Taking Charge of Your Fertility -- get it from the library. It's really eye-opening. You don't have to do everything in there (personally I track cervical mucus but I don't temp or check my cervix) but it will explain the many options. And it's good to know what your body is doing.
