Hi

I also posted this on the "trying to conceive" board.

I had a positive OPK yesterday afternoon. DH and I worked late last night, and he went to work early this morning. We plan on BDing this afternoon when he gets off. Will this be too late?? The OPK instructions state that you should have intercourse within 24-48 hours

of testing. OPKs predict your ovulation right? So i should be ovulating now if I tested positive yesterday? i'm confused.

You are right - ovulation happens 24-36 hours after a positive OPK. Yes, you should probably be ovulating today or soon. In general it's best to BD in the days BEFORE ovulation so the swimmers have already "made the journey" and can meet the egg when it comes out... still, you may have a shot this month. Go to it, and have fun!
