Stressed trying to figure when I ovulate

[XStardustX]

My bbt is indicating that I ovulated 4 days after my positive opk. We stopped having sex 1 day after my positive opk .I did also continue to have pains for about 2 days after peak. I'm just finding it stressful knowing when to have sex. I feel like we keep missing our window. Is it possible to ovulate this late ? Those of you who conceived before, do you continue to have sex for days after a positive opk or when do you stop

I also feel maybe this explains my long luteal of 17 days

That’s really interesting @XStardustX I had not considered that the LH peak and ovulation wee so far apart. I’ve been tracking LH, and this is my first month tracking BBT. I have just read that it is possible to ovulate 72 hours after LH peak, so 4 days doesn’t seem impossible. I saw a study the other day saying that the most fertile day was in fact the day of ovulation 🤷🏼‍♀️ most other studies say the day before is best. So, maybe time your BDing to day of the LH peak and the next two days. It’s a really tricky one. How long have you been trying?

If I was you I would just have sex every other day from when you start getting an increase in LH until maybe a couple days after your bbt rise, to give you the best chance until you know your cycle better.

I think these things vary person to person. I'm at the opposite end of the scale I literally ovulate a couple of hours after I get the first peak result and get a bbt rise the next morning. I usually get a bbt dip the morning of ovulation. The two times we've conceived was from sex 48 hours before opk peak/ovulation.

I used to stress so much about tracking my ovulation and timing our sex to right days that I had to stop for both of our sake. I become more relaxed and realised that I get more aroused and wet around my ovulation so I started making sure I seduced my husband on those days and it worked.
