| To BD or not to BD, that is the question
So, I had my LAP and Dye done on Thursday afternoon and since yesterday I have had very, very positive OPKs (confusingly for the second time this month!)
The question is - do I BD? Or, do I wait? Something in me just feels like, right now I could be ovulating and I know I could be ovulating and I am wasting an opportunity.
What would you all do? |

| It's a tricky one hun, but I had a quick look on google.
Some said to wait until you next natural period and others said after 2 weeks.
I supose it all depends on how you feel, but be careful hun. |

| Thanks Helen. I saw some of the same. Most said, until you stop bleeding.
It's just really frustrating that I might be ovulating right now. Its only been 3 days really and if some are saying 2 weeks it is probably too soon isnt it? |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I would say it was a little too soon after 3 days... BUT I know we didn't wait the recommended time (2-6 weeks, depending on which procedure), we just BD gently when I felt ok. It might be a little too soon to get pregnant though. |

| I have actually developed a UTI in the past few hours so BD is out of the question anyway.
Was going to go to work tomorrow but it hurts if I sit up for too long and the toilets are up four flights of stairs - not helpful for UTI. |

| I have a constant supply of antibiotics in my house. All I have to do is phone my doctor and he leaves me a prescription on reception.
(I suffer badly from UTIs, recurring, used to get them at least once or twice a month!)
Am clearly not ovulating either because I just got a positive OPK for the fourth day in a row. I am really quite pissed off because it happened last month as well. I am beginning to think it's the actual tests!!! |
