Ok I got a + on my ovulation test on Saturday afternoon. We BD Saturday and Sunday morning. We did BD yesterday do you guys think that we could have missed the time. We are going to BD tonight and probaly every other day until AF or + HPT. I just would hate to have missed it by not doing it yesterday. How long does the egg surive? I really want it to happen this month just as we all want it to happen every month. My mom's birthday and my birthday are this month as well as it being Christmas. This would be a great birthday/christmas present. I hope everyone else gets theier BFP this month! We all deserve it!!!

Well I think you two are certainly doing your part :0) That is def good news.....and to answer your question I believe they say that the egg has a life of 12 to 24 hours so you should be good. I hope that it works out for you this month as well :) Hugs and lots of baby dust to you!!!

Thank You ladies! Should I stop BD at some point? I have read that you shouldn't BD in 2ww but when should I stop to be safe?

I think it is no BD if you are doing IVF and procedures like that. My doc. says BD from the time AF leaves until she shows up again or in best case scenario you get a + HPT!

Sperm can survive for up to 5 days in a womens body. So If I were you I would BD before you get a positive OPK and when it turns positive. After you ovulate the egg can survive for up to 24 hours but your best bet is to have the sperm in you before you ovulate so it is waiting for the egg. I would stop BD around 36-48 hours after a positive OPK. Best of Luck

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
