Ovulation

July 17, 2008

Please Dr. Q or any other Dr. I need some advise? Ok I tested at 7am on the 16th and it was positive and My husband and I BD the day before the positive results and at 1:00am which is technically the day of the positive reults. However we did not BD last night and I wanted to know if we still have a chance to get pregnant if we BD today after 5pm? the test I took said once a positive is identified that the window of fertilization is 24 hrs-48 hrs so I was thinking I actually ovulate on the 18th. Is that correct or when do think I will ovulate being that I got the positive test result on the 16th? Do you think we still have a chance of becoming Pregnant even though we didn't BD last night? Please help?

U have a great chance! Sperms can live upto 2 days during fertile period. Also, u ovulate about 24 hrs after ur + OPK and the egg lives 12-24 hrs.

Ok so if the test said positive at 7am I would have ovulated at 7am today and I still have a 12 hour windo to BD which would be at 7pm tonight?

Hi Peejay, Cannot pinpoint upto the hour but typically 24 hrs. So, u could have ovulate late last night or this morning and yup and have sex this evening as early as u can. U still have a good chance. So, dont worry...

Thanks you guys but I am so panic and very nervous that my chances are slim to none. I am trying to keep a positive attitude and keep my faith in God as I always do but its so hard for me mentalyy being what I have already experienced previously. Its confusing with the ovulation test and not really knowing exactly when you have ovulated and though Dr.Q send me baby dust that I so greatly appreciated I am still not sure of this all.
