Question

When to BD?

Hey so was wondering how long after you get a positive OPK do you ovulate? We are trying for a boy so want to get as close to ovulation as possible. Wasn't sure if we should do it right after a positive or wait a certain amount of time? Again I know that its not 100% that we will get a boy we are just trying it out. If we have a girl we will be just as happy so please no judgment. Really appreciate any feed back!! Thanks

It varies person to person. It could be a short as 12 hours or as long as 72 hours after first positive. Me personally it is 48 ish houts after my first positive. I only know because i temp and have for quite some time now. If you want to have a boy, bd a lot fromwhen your opks get pretty close to positive until the day after ovulation.

I usually do around 10am and 6pm and when im close i add in another in between somewhere. I dont ever do fmu for opk or hpt. I know people think you have to because its more concentrated but really its not. Do smu with little to drink. That has always worked better for me.
