DH and I DTD yesterday (Saturday) morning. Today (Sunday), I got a positive OPK at around 5:30pm. We have no further opportunities to BD during my fertile window because DH is away on business. What are our chances of conceiving, really? I know theoretically it is totally possible, but how likely is it to actually happen...?
Best case scenario: BD Saturday morning, surge Sunday evening, I ovulate Monday evening, and it's 2.5 days between BD and ovulation.
Worst case scenario: We BDed Saturday morning, surge Sunday evening, I ovulate Tuesday evening, and it's 3.5 days between BD and ovulation.
I know sperm CAN live in the tubes for 5 days, but I also know that they rarely do. More commonly, they live for 2-3 days. I also know that 2 days before ovulation is the best interval for BDing according to studies, but in both of the scenarios above, we are outside that window
