Ovulation day BD

Stuuuaaart

I use FF, OPKs and CM to track O. How important is it to actually BD on the day of O. We BD 4 days before O, and then the 2 days before O. I'm pretty sure yesterday was O but my hubby had a work event until very late and I was asleep when he got home. Is the day after O still a good time to try? I read conflicting information.

Due to how long the sperm can survive, I think it is typically good timing to being able to anywhere from 4 days before O until the day after O.  Sounds like you got a few good tries in this cycle!

Thanks! One more question. Usually the day after O, I only get one line again on the OPk. I use wondflo. Today I got 2 lines. The bottom line was dark but not as dark as the top line. Positive or negative?

For it to be positive with the OPK the test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line.

I saw a study showing that having more sex can improve fertility, even if outside the fertile window, possibly because it improves the lining (your body becomes more receptive). So even if it's a little late, it doesn't hurt.
