Anyone read this? It is a free leaflet on iBooks.

It basically says a lot of people stop trying too early after their positive OPK, and that ovulation can be delayed, so to try for 5 days after (missing day 4).

I'm trying it this month, anyone currently in their fertile period want to join me?!

I think the theory is that your lh surge can last for 72hrs (ie three days) do if you catch the beginning of the surge you get those three covered. If you catch middle/end of surge you have been doing it every other day so there will be sperm hanging around.

I think the last day is to account for variations in cycles and delayed ovulation to cover all bases! As the authour found that lots of people stop too soon!

Hope that makes sense.

Gutted :-(

Am camping at the mo so taken my mind off it a bit, will be day 10 when I return and check out OV.

Am convinced didn't do it enough after my Peak last month so will make more of an effort this time around!
