If you were using ovulation testing, when did you get pregnant?

... if you know?

I'm just intrigued by others' experiences - if you're testing with the ovulation strips/clear blue and then got pregnant, do you know which day you'd actually had sex on which then created the pregnancy?

I know they say the days leading up to ovulation are the best to have sex and then obviously when you get the peak LH surge it means you're about to ovulate within 24-48 hours, and the egg can then survive for up to 24 hours, so keep doing it regularly. But noone really knows how long after the LH surge the egg is actually released.. I'm just wondering what other women's experiences are. I guess it's tricky as you're all having sex regularly if you're testing, but on the off chance anyone can pin point it because you only had sex once around that time for example. Was it one of the days leading up to the peak ovulation? Or the day of peak ovulation? A day after? etc..

Grateful for others' experiences!

You are right, it is almost impossible to tell - I started bbt last month, and it was eye opening. If you combine OPK with your temperature you will get a feeling for when you approximately ovulated. A friend of mine actually ovulated before the positive opk, that is so wild, right? She also had it confirmed by her GP with tests. I seem to ovulate two days after peak, or maybe 1,5 days after.
The first month I got pregnant I really dont know because we had sex frequently. The second time we did SMEP, so one of those? I still think the day of positive OPK and the two following days are the most important. And, if possible, one or two days leading up to it.
