Question

Ovulation...

So I've had a few different calculations when it comes to when I'm suppose to be most fertile and ovulate. It goes anywhere between 5/7 to 5/11. I started BD (baby dancing/intercourse) yesterday, along with doing OPKs starting on 5/2. How long can sperm last, & if I do ovulate on the 7th will the swimmers still be able to fertilize an egg? I don't see hubby til Monday night so I'm worried I'm gonna miss my O day.. :(


-> please forgive any typeos, i type fast without checking and sometimes i'm on my phone. thanks! <- & User ImageUser Image

You should use OPKs to confirm (especially if you really need to know due to your DH's schedule) every women is different and most of the calculator are just based on averages. Good luck:-)

Ovulation is usually 14 days before your next period starts. So if you have a 32 day cycle you 'should' ovulate about CD18. I say 'should' because we are all different and you may have a longer/shorter luteal phase.
The best way to tell you are ovulating is to get an OPK and test daily (twice daily is better) and note when you get your positive. If you don't want to spend money on the OPK, try charting your CM. When you get egg white cervical mucus, it's a sign that you are all go :)
Good luck! I hope you catch it this month! xx
