Anyone got bfp by dtd cd12

Hi all as the title says just wondering if anyone got a bfp by dtd just once 2/3 days before ovulation?
I'm due to ovulate either tomorrow or Monday. Could only dtd once this cycle and that was last night (Friday) just wondering what my chances are.
Thanks Smile

Yes, you can get pregnant by having sex a few days before ovulation. Sperm can live in the Fallopian tubes for up to 5 days. Good luck

Yep, have just happened to me. Dtd on CD9, the only dtd that month and I'm now 6 weeks preg.

Thank you. And congratulations.
I have just done opk (first time using) it was negative. Would this make a difference or could I still be in with a chance? I'm a little clueless to all this haha

What’s your cervical mucus doing? Sperm can live for up to 5 days, but I think it’s only if the CM is right. They absorb into your vagina walls (sexy) after a few hours, so if you don’t have watery/EWCM right now then they don’t stand much chance of getting to your egg in time. Xx

I've had ewcm yesterday and today. Not had loads but it's def there. I usually have it for about 3 gays then stops. So really hoping I've got a chance xx

My DD was conceived by having sex 2 days before ovulation, She's now 12 months. Good luck Grin

Emma198 · 28/04/2018 20:18

Yep we had a busy week, did it once on the Weds when ovulated on the Fri x

Stephisaur · 28/04/2018 21:17

3 gays 😂

I think you’re in with a chance if you’ve had EWCM. I didn’t do ovulation sticks but monitored my CM. We dtd once in my fertile window, which was my last day of EWCM and got our BFP.

Everything crossed for you! X

Kee80 · 28/04/2018 21:44

Congratulations to you all ☺️
I've never used the opks before, always gone with CM too and got caught both times... sadly miscarried both times last year. Really hope this is my time xx

LookingAtTheStars89 · 28/04/2018 21:50

@Kee80. Oh My god lol I meant the three gays thing tickled me Blush

LookingAtTheStars89 · 28/04/2018 21:51

@Kee80. Sorry for your loss

Kee80 · 28/04/2018 21:54

@LookingAtTheStars89 I know haha don't think I'd get very far with EWCM and 3 gays Shock 😂.
Sorry for your loss to xx

Kee80 · 28/04/2018 22:17

Just a little more advice please. I did opk Saturday which wasn't as dark as control line, did one yesterday which I think was positive then also did one this afternoon which was negative. Would this mean I could have ovulated yesterday?

OP posts:
seven201 · 30/04/2018 20:47

I think it means you'll actually ovulate today or tomorrow. As opk's predict the hormome
Surge that comes before ovulation.

Kee80 · 30/04/2018 21:00

@seven201 sorry for the questions quite new to this 🙈
So I got a total negative no faint line today about 5pm would that mean I most likely ovulated today?

OP posts:
Waitingonasmiley42 · 30/04/2018 21:07

There's no way of knowing exactly when you ovulated just using ovulation tests. Roughly 24-36 hours after the positive test is usually when it happens. If you got your positive on Sunday then could be today or tomorrow.

Kee80 · 30/04/2018 21:25

Thanks for your reply @Waitingonasmiley42 I must sound really dumb with it all. Just never used them before and worrying a little that due to only dtd once this cycle (Friday) I may be out this month

OP posts:
Waitingonasmiley42 · 30/04/2018 21:36

It is all confusing. Smile I got pregnant with DS2 from sex the day before a positive. If last time was Friday the odds are probably slightly against you, but you are definitely still in with a chance.

Good luck!

Kee80 · 30/04/2018 21:45

@Waitingonasmiley42 it sure is. I got pregnant with my son without even trying didn't find out till I was 10+5 weeksShock. Well I've read sperm can survive in the right conditions between 3-5 days. I've had EWCM from Friday to yesterday so hoping there's still a few there waiting haha
