I had sex the day before I got my positive OPK, and every night for 4 nights. Once your temp shifts higher, then you have ovulated. You want to have had sex before then. It's best to have sperm waiting on the egg than the egg waiting on the sperm since it only has a 12-24 hour window to be fertilized.
Ok. We did have sex the day before the postive opk and then last night and I did another one today and it was still postive so we will do it again tonight. sorry tmi.... My husband as allergies so bad so if not for that we would do it this afternoon too! lol.. dang allergies... my temp hasnt went up yet... i Keep watching it. as this is the first time I have ever charted temps. I just dont know how women dont get pregnant easier if they see when they are ovulating and they have sex... is it the egg and sperm dont get implanted?? so confusing. lol..... another personal question did you have sex any certain way? Ive read missionary and my sister n law just had my neice 3 days ago and she told me doggy style.... I read just not to be on top, and did you also lay there w/ a pillow for 20 mins after?? Im really hoping to do everything I can to make this happen. lol. thanks for all your helpful information.
If you do watch the Great Sperm Race, it puts it into perspective. IF some 250,000,000 sperm are released upon ejaculation, only a handful actually make it to the fallopian tube. Once there, they have to be there at the right time. Then the egg has to be perfect, and so does the winning sperm. Any abnormalities, it probably won't implant. It's amazing when you really study reproduction that ANY one ever gets pregnant much less has a baby.
We always had sex missionary. Its the best baby making position. I also made sure to have an orgasm after my DH, as the motion of the cervix during climax help scoop up the sperm. It also alters the Ph to make it more sperm friendly in the vagina or uterus, can't remember which. I ditched the pillow because if you get too much angle then the sperm is going to pool behind the cervix. But I do stay in bed, since we always have sex before bed.
For me it was a CM issue. I didnt' have enough, and didn't realize it till my 8th cycle. When I got pregnant in December, I had been reading some racy romance novels to get in the mood, and it made a big difference to the amount of CM I produced that day. Since we only had sex that once, I know exactly when I got pregnant and what I had done differently. So this month I did the same, and it worked for us.
