Should we have sex today or tomorrow (OPK question)

[momo01]

Sorry to ask so bluntly!

I took an OPK just now, and the test line was slightly fainter than the control line, but a lot darker than it's been this week. It's day 18, and my cycle is usually 30, though 35 last month.

I know ovulation will happen 12-48 hours after the surge, so am I - are we, rather - better off having sex tonight or tomorrow?

Please don't say both. TTC sex is not the most romantic, we're absolutely shattered this week and I just don't think we'll manage both.

Thank you, TTC experts!

Both 😂

(Couldn't resist sorry...) but surely twice is twice the chance?

we've already done it twice this week! I know that doesn't sound much, but we already have a toddler and it is EXHAUSTING.

Maybe tonight then Sunday? Sort of sandwich the ovulation?

Anyone else want to wade in? I can take a pic of the stick if helpful 😬

I did the test half an hour ago, and the test line was almost as dark as control when I looked. It's now darker. Not sure if it's because it's been left out, or if it means I am surging?

Help!

I'd do it today

I would do it today and if too tired for tomorrow i would try again the day after

Today. Then if you're really too tired tomorrow it shouldn't matter. Can always have another go the day after tomorrow just incase.

Both to be sure.

@momo01 well that's twice more than me and DH and I don't even have a toddler to blame!

Today, but try make time for tomorrow also

Both but go for tonight if you can only manage the once - normal sperm live for 5-7 days so better they’re there waiting for the egg so to speak .

Ok tonight it is then. Will try again tomorrow or Sunday if we can manage it...

I very much admire anyone who has sufficient stamina to do the SMEP.
