Mittleschmerz and TTC

Hello everyone! I was feeling moderately painful cramping on my left lower abdomen today and thought it was weird bc I am mid cycle. It lasted a couple of hours. When I researched it, I realized it was probably Mittleschmerz. I took an opk, and sure enough, it showed my surge today. How else can I use this signal to increase my chances of getting pregnant? We have been TCC for our first since March, but due to my husband's work schedule, we only get to baby dance about 2x a week. We did it yesterday just for fun - should we do it on purpose to TTC in the near future or is it tool late?
