How much longer should I continue to make sweet love to my husband?

I got my first +OPK Smiley Face this morning around 6:30 a.m. I tested again around 5:15 p.m. and it was negative, and was negative the two times I tested yesterday.
We had sex yesterday morning and this morning, so just wondering if we got enough in, or if we need to have some insurance sex.
BTW - is having a positive and negative OPK in the same day normal? Thanks!

Re: How much longer should I continue to make sweet love to my husband?
Yes, it's completely normal to have a pos and neg OPK in the same day. It just means you caught the tail end of your surge.
Sounds like you had sex 1 day prior to a pos OPK and again this morning. You're fine in the sex department IMO but if you want to have sex for insurance purposes then go right ahead so long as you DH doesn't have a low sperm count. GL!
Yes, definitely normal to get a + and - in the same day. As PP said, your surge could be short, or you could have caught your surge late, or your urine the 2nd time could have been diluted.
Keep sexing it up for a few more days. Unfortunately, you don't have many temps recorded, so trying to catch your temp rise might be difficult. We keep having sex after a + OPK until I confirm O with the temp rise.
Good luck!
This.
In addition to what the PP said, also keep in mind that you can O 12-36 (or 48?) hours after your first +OPK, or sometimes not at all. Keep having sex to be safe.
Also, just curious why you stopped temping? That would let you know when you O-ed so you could take a break from sex.
One last thing, and not to be picky or overly sensitive, and I only mean this with the best of intentions - Some women might take issue with the word "raping". I know you what you meant and that you probably didn't even think about it, but there could be a few here who might not take word to mean what you are using it to mean. You may want to think about being a little more sensitive withyour word choice in mixed company who may have some very negative experiences related to that word.
GL with catching your O!
ETA: sorry to repeat what others have said regarding word choice - the PPs posted while I was typing.
All of this, I would edit your title.
Well dang! (this is in response to your title - it's as far as I got reading this post)
ETA: Good idea changing the title.
I am offended by "sweet love" we are a wham bam thank you ma'am. sexin duo. Nothin sweet, just straight up sass in our bedroom.
J/K Thanks for editing the title. I wasn't personally offended but I can see others being offended by it.
I'd continue to have sex for another 2-3 days post +Opk
Sheesh - I can't please everyone.
I thought BDing was "bedding" for the longest time, and ever since I found out it meant "baby dance" I just can't bring myself to use it.
Bedding! Ha! That's a new one.
I prefer the term "knocking boots" myself. Another favorite is "bumping uglies". Usually though, MH and I just say "doing it" - so juvenile we are!
Psh "doing it" would be mature for us. We call it "banging it out" or "doing the nasty"
Bedding...too cute.
My husband and I say hanky panky.
This made me laugh out loud. Props to your DH.
This, mine was positive for almost 3days, i got tired of humping lol
Just had to comment since people think they have the most immature terms for sexy time...
MH and I often say Snoo Snoo because of a Futurama episode we saw once hahahah.
You win!
