Have been wondering about this - when I get the smiley face on my ovulation test, might be today, might be tomorrow - is it still worth while having sex tomorrow evening, or will I have missed boat by then? Realistically, we can only manage twice during this time (getting on a bit!) so should it be twice today, or today and tomorrow! Never thought I'd type something with so much tmi in it!! Thank you for any tips!

id wait until your cervical mucous is like raw egg white.

afaik from reading on here those tests can be wildly inaccurate.

Thank you for tip! Hoping I've not missed this month's boat.

do you know how to check if it's right consistancy? (i didn't until a year ago)

if not, then heres how.

insert 2 fingers inside, scoop aroung the cerix and bring some mucous out. if it can stretch for more than an inch then you're ovulating.

Good grief. No I didn't, and I don't think anyone would have told me! Thank you very much. (God I wish I was a man )

Do it now. Sperm takes a while to travel up your fallopian tubes, no point releasing the boys if they won't get there in time and your egg has already passed go and not collected a baby.

Now, tomorrow and the day after.

Last time I conceived we had sex day 10 and I ov'd day 12 (we weren't really trying that hard I admit).

Thank you all! Love the Monopoly allusion. Have passed this on to DH who was
Had a shot this afternoon, will try to entice him again tonight I think rather than tomorrow. Don't remember it being this difficult when I conceived DS (but older now of course)
