Ok, so I BD'd on Thursday nite ........

.....and today have tons of ewcm - and I mean tons (sorry tmi) so am guessing I'm ovulating. Hubby is away so can't grab him again! Does anyone know what the chances are of Thursday's little swimmers still being around and a bfp in a couple of weeks?

I think swimmers can live for 5-7 days in extreme circumstances but I believe 3 days is more likely. Also they really need the EWCM to allow then to stay alive, so you'd need to have had EWCM when swimmers arrived. Probably not what you wanted to hear, sorry.

Damn it all!

Another qu - sorry. How long before or after first seeing ewcm do i actually ov?

[mibbes]

could be the same day or up to 3-4 days later, depends how many days you have it for. When it dries up you can usually assume you have ov'd.

Thanks mibbes. I've only just had it and DH is back on Thursday so i shall just have to keep my fingers crossed!

You are still in with a chance, even if EWCM seems to have dried up worth a try as you can still concieve for a few hours after ov - best of luck.
