I'm not only because I never wake up at the same time so I was all over the places with temps :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-29056 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:23:25 +0000 MaisyMay 29056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most advice I've read says to BD the day before and day of/day after, so you should be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-29052 Wed, 07 Dec 2011 00:28:12 +0000 tequiero21 29052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not a lost cause! sperm lasts awhile! good luck! and you still have tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-29047 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:47:08 +0000 carrieknitscake 29047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Far from it. Sex before a positive OPK is encouraged. I think you're in good shape with BD there. Also, give him a rest. Every other day gives his spermies a day to cycle through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-29011 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:58:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 29011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the quick replies! I guess we will see what happens! Cross my fingers, cause he is out like a light! &amp; he goes to work early (430) so im thinking tomorrow am is probably out :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-29007 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:53:08 +0000 Rubies 29007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it tomorrow! But the sperm from yesterday might even do the trick - apparently sperm can live for up to 5 days or something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-28999 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:31:44 +0000 yoursilverlining 28999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't lose hope!! I didn't realize the sperm lived for a few days, so we had sex, several days later got the positive OPK and used a condom (we were going to start TTC the next month) and well....here I am 14 weeks pregnant. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-28982 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:00:30 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 28982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't lose hope. Sperm can hang out up there for a few days. I've read a lot that having sex a couple days before ovulation is a good thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-28972 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:40:19 +0000 lovehoneybee 28972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I only had sex time, 2 days before I ovulated and the day before I got a positive OPK, and we got pregnant this cycle, so definitely still a chance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-28962 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:20:21 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 28962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not lost! I would still do it tomorrow morning or night to be safe, but the other 2 should be good too.</p> <p>My surge just happened right before I O'd and I had my IUI this morning after O. Some people get a surge a day or two before O. The egg lives for about 24 hours...</p> <p>Are you charting too? That will help you confirm when you're ok to stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sex-night-before-positive-opk#post-28956 Tue, 06 Dec 2011 20:14:29 +0000 sorrycharlie 28956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So DH and I had sex Sunday night and Monday night. Tonight, Tuesday night, I got a positive OPK--and DH is asleep and won't wake up! Any idea if this cycle is a lost cause? :/ I'm ready to knock him out haha! </p>
