We had sex yesterday afternoon; this evening I *think* I see a positive on the OPK (which I was expecting today, or maybe tomorrow). Should we have sex again tonight, or wait until tomorrow afternoon. I don't want to end up having sex yesterday, today, tomorrow, then the next day (for sperm count reasons, even though I have no reason to think there's a problem but last 2 months we tried every day and didn't get pregnant).
Would you try tonight, or wait until tomorrow? |

| You can wait until tomorrow. You shouldn't be ovulating until tomorrow at the earliest, anyway. |

OP here. Well, this morning I had a clear, strong positive on the OPK....but my CM seems to have dried up. I wonder if this means I have already ovulated. Going to have intercourse this afternoon, but I feel like it 'might be too late

| My CM dries up the day before ovulation. |

| And it's harder to get preg with dry CM, right? So does this mean it's more difficult to get pregnant by having intercourse the day before you ovulate, or the day you ovulate? |

That's what I've read, so I purchased pre-seed to use this time around. My CM dries up the day before I ovulate as well. |

| And did the pre-seed work for you, or are you in 2ww? |

| I go to SG, and their instructions for using OPK are different than the instructions on the box. SG says - as soon as you see any positive line, even if its faint, have sex that night, the next next, and the morning after. |

| OP here. I'm wishing we would have done it the night we got a faint positive. But sex every day wasn't working for us for ttc, so I didn't know what to do. I have 2 weeks to wait it out, though, I guess. |

We used Preseed the first time around and now that we are trying for #2.
This month we did it every day there was a line on the OPK, faint or not, which was about 6 days in a row, and the day after. It's a lot but that's what we did the cycle we got pregnant with #1. I saw a very faint line this morning on the pregnancy test, so faint it's hard to see. I am 12 days dpo, last time I was 13 days dpo when I got the first positive, so I think it worked again. |

| I am the OP .... BFP at what I think was 10 dpo. Very tender breasts at 8dpo (a sign that maybe came earlier because I'm still nursing). |
