Success when BD 2 days before O?
I’m looking for success stories from people who got their BFP after BD 2 days before ovulation, but not the day before or day of. It seems like this happens each cycle where my husband just isn’t in the mood near O day no matter what I try, so I’m feeling a bit frustrated and down. Just entering my TWW and looking for a bit of hope when I’m losing it.

Ur timing is perfect! U want the sperm up there before the egg comes out. Plenty of women get pregnant from sex before O. Many get pregnant when not wanting to becuz they had sex 3 or so days before their body showed signs of impending ovulation. Sperm can live for up to a week in ideal conditions. I really wouldn't count urself out at this point. Tbh, I'd feel less positive about an O day only sex than a 2 day before O sex. That's just me tho.
Good luck! Chin up!! =))

Thanks! I’m so hoping! The last couple cycles it was 3 days before and those were all failed cycles, so I’m feeling a bit anxious. Even though I know the 2 days leading up are the most fertile, and there’s only about a 20% chance each cycle anyway. Ugh! TTC can be such a stressful time!
