I really think I o on the night around 7-8pm on the 10th so was I still able to conceive yesterday around 6pm. How long does your egg live?? I thought it was 24-48 but I'm comfused. I'm hoping the 8th making love helped. Help. I don't want to get my hopes up to much but it's so hard when I want this so bad. So any advice will help. Thanks for being there.

From what I read the egg lives 12-24 hours. So, it's possible. It's actually probably more possible that the bd on the 8th did it though since sperm can live up to 5 days and was hopefully waiting there when you o'd.

Good luck!

Check out this online ovulation calendar. It will show you dates that you are fertile.

From what I have read you are fertile the day after ovulation as well as about 3 or 4 days the days before ovulation.

I believe that I ovulated Friday. We did it Tues, Friday and Saturday So I'm hopeful too.
Let me know what you find out!! Good luck
