Did we miss it?

[kellyesjester]

ok my DH and I have been ttc for 5 months now. No I haven't been temping or anything just cuz he asked me not to cuz he feels pressured if i do. S I have just been trying to watch my CM and tried a month of OPK'S Last month. Well I had one OPK left and on the 21st I had a lot of EWCM. So yesterday evening i took my one OPK I had left and it was barely a positive. Due to some issues we didn't BD till last night. I amd pretty positiv I O'ed the 21st. My question is did we completely miss it? R we out till next month or do u think we might still have a chance?

I think you have like a 36 hour window.

The opk was positive as in the test line was as dark or darker than the control line, right?

With a positive opk, its more likely you did not O on July 21 but will be Oing today.  You normally O 12-36 hours after getting your positive opk.

I would BD today if at all possible.  Whether you have a chance partly depends on if you BD'd before the 21st too.  Sperm can live up to 5 days, so while its ideal to BD on O day, BDing the days up to then can also do the trick.

Yes it was positive. I has a lot of ewcm on the morning of the 21st. Had alittle the 20th....so I took it I oed on the 21st. Unless u o the day after the cm? Idk. I just hope and pray we hit it this month. That is y I asked if u think we r still good? Do u o before or after the ewcm? Or during?

 there is no for sure way to know unless you track your ovulation with tests and temping.

We bd'ed on the 15th, 17th, and last night. We don't get to bd as often as we like due to some issues but I am very excited and hoping that we hit it. I was hoping u ladies could give me some hope by what I have told y'all. We are on month 6 of trying.
