Positive OPK and a question

lp0lp0 member
in Trying to Get Pregnant

I took two OPK's today and they turned so dark after just two minutes! I've never had opk's so dark before. I've always had such a hard time telling if they are positive or not but there is no mistaking these.

I have a question though. O is supposed to happen 12 - 36 hours after a positive OPK. Should we wait and bd tomorrow instead of tonight? We bd'd last night and dh is working super late tonight so I know he's going to be exhausted when he gets home. I'm wondering if we should just skip tonight and bd tomorrow. I'm just confused because I had a temp dip yesterday and then it went slightly up today. We're just both so tired of all the bd'ing this week and DH has been so great lately that I don't want him to irritated tonight and then me get upset. What do you guys think?

    It's really a personal choice. If it were me and DH was up to it, I would have sex tonight and continue until a temp shift is confirmed. Yay for an obvious +OPK! I love those ones ;)

    Hey LP. Doing it EOD is fine. Give him the night off. Maybe do it in the AM before he goes to work!!! Good luck to you this cycle!

    Thanks for the responses. If it was up to me we'd do it tonight but honestly I'm so sexed out that waiting until tomorrow would be okay too. He went into work for 6:30am and I don't expect him until about 9pm so I know he's going to be exhausted. Not to mention that I practically raped him last night. At least he was laughing about it but I just don't want it to get irritating. This is the first month where he is actually into and excited about ttc. The last few cycles he didn't want to know anything about temping, o, or anything like that so I don't want to push him back into that mode. I'll test the waters tonight and play it by ear. Thanks again girls :)
