Hi guys!

I know this gets asked ALL the time but I wonder if anybody else has had a BFP after BD 4 days and 2 days before O? My husband and I did this and now I am starting my 2ww. We didnt BD on ovultation day though as we were both so tired (and he starts to get moody after BDing twice in a few days - he doesnt want to do it again for another few days!). I read that BDing every other day during your fertile window gives you a good chance of conceiving but I still dno if we may have missed it due to timing of O? I think I O'd yesterday (based on pos opks for 2 days before) which is cd18. We BD'd on cd14 (at like 1am) and cd16 (at 11pm). Going by opk results if I O'd then it could have been anywhere from 11pm onwards on cd16 (as I tested neg opk exactly 24h after pos the day before). Do you think the sperm made it? I also lay with my legs up in the air for 15mins afterwards when we BD on cd16 lol. I have polycystic ovaries but have not got any symptoms of PCOS except irregular cycles (vary from 33-45 days). I feel positive about this month but I dont want to get my hopes up asking around if anybody has any words of reassurance!

Good luck to everyone else trying out there! Who knew it would be such a horrible process getting pregnant. Others make it seem so easy (although we dont know their stories)!

@DontCareBear sperm can survive for up to 5days in wait for the egg so there is every chance that you could be pregnant. The timing seems pretty perfect. Best of luck!

Yes, we had sex 5, 4 and 2 days before ovulation the month I conceived this time.

Yep, we dtd weds morning and my husband was away after that until the Monday. I believed I ovulated on the Saturday. Wasn't expecting it, but got my BFP that month Smile

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed this is our month! TTC baby#1 and I wanted to fall pregnant when we got married in Oct 2015 but here we are still trying (although for a good year and half we were not trying properly)! I will keep you guys posted. Thanks again 😊
