Ovulation issues

I found out last week that I was going to be away from DH on a trip during our most fertile time... that is my prediction anyway. Last month, I ovulated on CD16 and had a 31 day cycle. So, this month, CD16 will be this Friday. I will not be able to BD until Sunday. Here is my question... how consistent is ovualtion time each month for you? I have only been keeping track a short time. Will it be possible to "o" on Sunday at CD18 or does it ususally stay pretty consistent? I know the egg that is released can only hang out for about 24 hours, but that only puts me to Saturday if I "o" on Friday... any thoughts??????

Thank you in advance for your reply and baby dust to ALL!

You need to BD before you ovulate. I read somewhere that the chances of getting pg when you ovulate THEN have sex is very slim (unless it's timed really close together). Sperm can live inside of you for up to 3 days, so if possible BD up until you need to leave on your trip. BD when you get back too, just in case :)
