Lauren- thank you for responding! I can't believe that I've managed to get so confused over one of the most "natural" things there is!

Wow, so OPK twice a day. didn't think to try that, that's a helpful tip. So, about BD: I know it's supposed to be every other day, but how far in advance of OV? I think I have read that BD after OV is relatively useless, so would it be like every other day 4 days in advance? 6 days? I know everyone must think I'm crazy asking about these specifics, and I hate to sound like an idiot. But it just kills me when DH looks at me with those tired puppy dog eyes and says "again?" like it's such a chore.

thanks again, and I'll go stock up on OPK's!
