I'm Currently Feeling:  | Spermies!
According to several ovulation calculators/calendars (i know they aint accurate!) i'm ovulating today.
I wont be seeing my OH today but we  on saturday and yesterday so there could technically still be sperm alive yes?
I know obviously having sex today would up the chances of concieving but its not possible so is there still much of a chance for me? | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | tests suggest from the point of ejaculation the sperm have a two day swim to the egg, so you have as good a chance as any of conceiving, if the internal environment is right.
Good Luck! |

Good Luck! | Wow did not realise that. Maybe after TTC for so long I should have done LOL
Also I just started to use Pre-seed which can help them survive longer - worth a try if you know OH is not going to be around on OV day!!
Good Luck

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yes if you do OV soon you should be ok. Do you watch your CM for changes or do OPKs so you know you are? |
