Hi,
I did a positive opt on Tuesday, and then we did the deed on Thursday (my partner is rather busy)! According to my ovulation calendar, I was due to ovulate on Thurs or Friday. So is it too late? Or is that ok? We did have intercourse on friday and saturday, but my partner never finished off (a rather frustrated humph, though we did have fun)!
What do you think?

Well with + OPK it usually indicates that you will O in around 48 hours (give or take) - so you would have BD on the day of ovulation, you may have caught the egg on it's way down. It's best to BD around 1-2 days before ovulation as it takes the sperm a little while to reach the egg. But thats not to say you're not successful.

Good luck. Remember for next cycle if you don't get a BFP to BD a couple of days leading up to O - the more BD sessions you can get in right before O the better!

i m not too sure if you saw it in on your last thread i posted so i m just copying and posting again for you.

Q: Once I detect my LH surge, when should I have intercourse?

A: It's best to have intercourse the day of the LH surge and the two days after. Also consider "insurance" sex for one more day in case you ovulate late. Perfect timing would be to have had intercourse the day before the LH surge as well, but that can be hard to predict for those with an irregular cycle. If you don't know when you might ovulate, having sex every other day from cycle day 10 through a positive OPK. If you are taking your basal body temperature, you should have sex through the first day of your temp rise to make sure you cover all days (though after the rise is usually too late).

Hope that answereit for you x
