Any chance?

I've been using OPK this cycle, and I think I got a postive on CD 16.
But of course my boyfriend wasn't at home that day, and not the day after either. So we didn't have sex until on CD 18 in the evening!
But we did have sex the evening before I got positive OPK...
So do you think it's any chance I could have become pregnant this cycle?

Here is a picture of my OPK this cycle.
As you can see on CD 16, it's not quite positive so I think I had a really quick LH surge and basically missed it since I only test once a day....
What do you girls think? Do you think I ovulated around CD 16? Or maybe I haven't ovulated at all?
And if I missed it, when could I had ovulated?
OPKs predict LH surge.
An LH surge is approx. 36 hours PRIOR to ovulation.
So, if you have a pos OPK on CD16, your ovulation should be approx 36 hours later... approx. CD18.
So yes, there is still a chance :)
About me:
3 fantastic kiddos conceived with no probs in 1st or 2nd month of trying. We thought we were done, DH got the snip. Changed our minds in 2008, 4 cycles of IUI (no meds) using DH's frozen sperm - all BFN.
So, we are dealing with DH's frozen sperm, and my AMA (41 years old, we have no idea if that is a problem yet or not).
Starting IVF#1 - short protocol starting stims around May 1.

Well, took another OPK and the test line is clearly fading! It's barely visable this time!
One thing I was wondering... when you say I could have ovulated yesterday on CD 18, I noticed that my cervix fluid was eggwhite and thick around the weekend... on CD 15 and 16, should that mean that I ovulated then? Or does the fluid get that way BEFORE you actually ovulate?
