I'm Currently Feeling:  | BD days before OV
Just a quick Q, how likely do you reckon it is that you could get pg if you only BD'd 4-5 days before you O? Has this happened to anyone?
I know sperm can live potentially for up to 5 days (or 7 depending on the source of the info) so I'm curious |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | well, ive heard of it happening but i wouldnt go by that myself. I know bd'ing everyday or twice a day doesnt necessary help your chances..but I would at least still stick to bd'ing at least the day before ov to be sure....
Good luck, hun and sorry if its not what you're looking for.. xxx
ps. I got pg from bd'ing only on 3 days and 1 day before ov.... |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I think it's totally possible but unlikely.
I'm pretty sure that although sperm can live for up to 5 days, they usually live for more like 3.
But hey, only one needs to survive and get through!! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I've heard of it happening.
I think with Aids like preseed it may be possible, as it is a very sperm friendly lubricant and therefore helps them live longer.
Is there a reason? like timing to see DH or something like that?
if it's possible, I would try to BD around 2 days before, like I said though - if thats possible. |
