Am I too late?

According to my planner I ovulated yesterday. If we DTD tonight will we be too late to catch this month?

TIA

Short answer: no!

I conceived 2 x dd after only dtd on day 23 of a 28 day cycle. .
Conceiving is a strange business!!

Longer answer (DH has just stepped through the door and taken DD2 from me): 12-24 hours post ovulation is actually a very good time to DTD.

Yippee! Was worried it needed to be before or on the day to get Oregon, thank you!

I think there is no harm in doing it today because the egg has 24 hours to live and you don't know when exactly you ovulated or that the app is right! However I have read it can take sperm anything from 15 minutes to 24 hours to get up to the fallopian tubes and by then it may have already missed the egg. You risk nothing by giving it a go tonight, go for it|!

I had a lot of EWCM today - does that give any clues to whether or not I'm too late?

DTD anyway and enjoy it :) Good luck!

EWCM indicates peak fertility. Usually lasts 2-3 days.
