Hi there, just looking for any advice on getting timings right for conception. Sorry for dumb questions! We have been trying almost a year now. I just turned 37, he's 35.
This month I tried the Clearblue Advanced Digital OPK - it's the purple one - I got a flashing smiley face on Thursday and then solid smiley face on Friday eg saying that I am surging and then managed to DTD on Saturday afternoon. Does that sound like good timing? We don't have loads of sex due to work and lifestyle, although when we do it's great
Dr Google is saying that you normally release egg 24-36 hours after surge, then the egg stays around for 24 hours. Is that right? Excuse my ignorance
I haven't been tracking ovulation that closely and obv this new kit gives a new level of detail eg difference between surging vs just presence of hormones - and mainly we DTD before ovulation rather than during... hoping maybe slightly later will work for us.
In the meantime decided to be more proactive and checking ourselves into fertility clinic this month for tests. X
