ovulation and timing BDing

[tlc92]

Me and hubby BD two days before ovulation and two days after is it possible for me to get pregnant like that?

Do you mean 2 days before a opk and two days after? If so, i think yes.

I've only just getting the whole opk and BD scenario... i mean this month we BD about 4 days before opk was positive, and we also BD the night it was a positive but i have just realised that once you get a positive opk you ovulate 12-24 hours later... so i dunno if i have a good chance or not.

to be honest i would bd a few days before +opk, also the same day you get a +opk and 2 days after.

I've been temping for almost a year and I know I ovulate on day 13 every month so I don't use opks To answer your question better I O'ed wed and BD Monday and Friday.
you should have a good chance of getting pregnant cause sperm can live up to three days in a woman Good luck and hope you get your BFP soon

Sounds like you're doing it at the perfect time! I read a study recently that said women are more likely to get pregnant by DTD 2-3 days before ovulation than on the actual day itself. It's good to do it once or twice after as well, just in case O was delayed x

I'm going to start trying to SMEP method next month. I've read about people getting good results with that. It's every other starting from CD8. On CD10, you start using OPKs and you keep doing every other day until you get a positive OPK. Once you get the positive, you BD that day, the day after, the next day (3 days in a row), then skip a day, then BD again. It's a lot more BDing after O than I have been doing, maybe that's what's missing. I figure it's worth a shot!

Sounds promising tlc92 good luck!! It sounds like you answered your own question! if sperm can live for 3+ days, if you bd on mon and od on wed you are well within the fertile window!
