Help... did we miss our chance?

June 26, 2008

Hello girls/Dr Q, This is my first month on clomid and first month charting and using OPKs.

I finally got my OPK+ on CD24, so had assumed I ovulated on CD25. Our last BD was on cd25, which I thought was the day of O, based on the OPKs. I know we should have bd'd again but DH was tired and I thought we were covered. HOWEVER, my temps didn't rise for another day, so FF is telling me that I ovulated on CD 26, which means we stopped bd'ing the day before I ovulated. Do you think this means we missed our chance? I am really worried as my cycle is so long, I would hate to miss the egg... and I know that even if we catch it right, there is only a 20% chance of a BFP.

Is it true what they say about sperm surviving several days? And do you think I should go by FF or my OPK to pinpoint my ovulation date, as there is 1 day difference between the two? I don't know if I am 3 or 4 DPO and I am so worried we missed our chance!

Worth noting that my temps have been erratic all cycle, and didn't rise above 98 until 3 days after my + OPK.

Please help! I have learned my lesson for next month if we wren't successful this time, if only we had bd's that one more time!! Has anyone got PG and not BD'd on actual day of O??

If u ovulated day 26, day 25 is an awsome day to BD to get preggo. dont worry. u did not miss ur chance

I would go with ur OPK to figure out ovulation. Sometimes ur BBT wont rise for a good 2-3 days after ovulation.

Uve done all u should this cycle
