OPK positive yesterday. Sex yesterday - Was it too late?
So, I got a positive OPK yesterday morning (Digital one). We had sex yesterday around 10 pm when my husband came home from work.
Today I keep getting positive OPK's too (Still digital) and I have read that it can stay positive for two days.
I have 2 questions for you ladies:
1. Was it too late for us to have sex on the very same day the OPK turned positive?
My husband wasn't home for 2 days prior to that so we had sex saturday and then yesterday on tuesday. I know saturday was probably way off but could we still get pregnant having sex yesterday or was it too late?
I'm wondering because I have read that you should have sex 1-2 days BEFORE ovulation.
2. When does the ovulation actually occur? Is it when the OPK turn negative again?

Hi Zvjezda,
Here is my understanding of it...
Opks test for a luteinising hormone surge.. when the OPK is positive this usually indicates ovulation will occur in the next 12 to 24hours. It is a good idea to have sex in days leading up to ovulation (this is difficult to predict) as sperm can take a little while to swim up to the fallopian tube to wait for the egg. Sperm can survive for up to 5-7 days in a fertile environment though and an egg can survive for 12-24 hours after ovulation so your timing may have been perfect. Fingers crossed and best wishes
