Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum. I am 33 and my fiancee and I have been not trying, not preventing for close to a year with no results. Finally after convincing him, the past two months we have been actively trying. I am using the Clear Blue Digital Ovulation tests (the regular, not the advanced).
I am also tracking my cervical mucus, however I have been experiencing some dryness recently so I also purchased Preseed and we have been using that the past few times we have been intimate. I started to notice some egg white cervical mucus on Friday and I would have loved to start trying with my fiancee right then but he was out of town Friday, Saturday and did not return until late Sunday. I kept using the Clear Blue OPKs and saw a smiley face on Sunday late afternoon (around 4:00-5:00 p.m.). My fiancee was too tired when he returned from his work trip late Sunday, so we did not have sex until Monday night.
From everything I have read it seems like it is best to have sex BEFORE ovulation. I have also read contradicting information about how soon after the LH surge you actually ovulate. Some sites say 12 hours or possibly less and others say 24-36 hours. I am REALLY hoping that it is on the later end because then I may actually have a chance. However, my gut is telling me it was probably too late. I am praying that I am wrong because I want this so badly! What do you guys think? Has anyone conceived from sex on the day after the smiley face? Let me know. Thanks!
