So I just wanted to make sure I am reading it correctly. When you get a positive on your OPK when should baby making begin? Every website I read says something different. I dont want to do it too much and lessen our chances but I want to make sure we're making good use of time.

    When you get a positive OPK, you'llnbsp;likelynbsp;ovulate 1236 hours later but you won't know if you did unless you're temping,nbsp;so you should have sex that day. Ideally, you should start having sex in the days before your LH surge because sperm can live in ideal conditions for a few days.


    This. Also, I typically O the same day as my first opk, so we go for EOD for the week before I expect to O and then ED once I notice fertile CM.

    having it too much will not lessen your chances unless DH has a known sperm issue....so feel free to HIO whenever!

    This month I got my first + OPK on CD 14.  This was also a dip in my temperature and FF says I O'd that day.  If I waited until then I may have missed my FW.  We started a on CD 12 and hit, O-2, O-1, O, and O + 1.  If I waited I would have only hit O and O + 1 and I hear its better to hit before O.  If you know around when you get a positive OPK I would start a day or 2 before to be safe.  Good luck.  
    ***SIGGY WARNING***

    DX: Unexplained
    6 Failed IUIs (Clomid and Gonal F).  
    IVF #1 began August 2013- BC, 4 days of Estrace, stimmed with Gonal F and Menopur, Ganirelix, 9R 5M 5F, Medrol and Doxycycline, 5 day transfer of 2 early blastocysts- good quality, Progesterone, Estrace, and baby aspirin, BETA on 9/20 BFN,   IVF #2 began September 2013, stimming with Gonal F (higher dose) and Menopur, Ganirelix, 18R 14M 9F with ICSI, 5 day transfer of 2 BBs one was starting to hatch, 2 frosties: 1  BB and 1 AC, BETA on 10/21, BFN BETA was a 5- chemical 
    Getting some more testing and trying to figure out what the issue is before FET in December, started acupuncture on 11/10, RLP and some other BW nothing major to report except slightly high Prolactin. Prolactin was slightly high when I started with my RE and I already had an MRI which was Neg.  Endo biopsy=negative.  WTF is wrong with us???
    12/18/13 FET of 1 BB and 1 AC.  Hoping for a miracle.  Beta 12/26 Low BETA-8 2nd BETA 5- chemical
    After 3 failed transfers IDK where to go from here.  Still no real answers as to why this isn't working.  Getting a second opinion in February and looking into immune testing.  
    2/14- NEW RE- Immune testing showed a partial dq alpha match with DH- On prednisone and did intralipids prior to transfer.  3/14 Lupron, gonal f, menopur, HGH.  ER 15 mature all 15 fertilized!  5dt of an early blast grade 1 and an expanded blast grade 2.  BETA on 4/21.  1 grade 2 embryo frozen

    I temp and I get my positive either the day of O or the day before. Rarely 2 days before. So if I get a positive or even close to a positive, we have sex.
