How long after you "O" are you fertile enough to get preggo??? Cause I "O'd" on Friday and DH and I have been too busy to really DTD so I was just wondering how long I have that we could possibly still try and catch that egg?!?!?

The egg lives about 24 hours after you O, that's why it's important to get busy before you O, because sperm live up to 5 days.

Usually the lil eggie only lasts for 12-24 hours before it is reabsorbed into your body, but there's nothing like having hope ! Good luck and baby dust !

yes, 24 hours, and conception is not as likely, as when the sperm is there BEFROE the egg. still possible tho! are you sure you ovulated? Keep BDg just in case!

Well we were BDing like crazy everyday right before I "O'd". Im 100% positive I "O" cause I had really heavy EWCM for about 3 days then after the third day I had really sharp cramp only on my left lower groin area for just a couple of hours. Then the EWCM was gone!! So here's to hoping that the spermies were there and waiting!!


(my DH and I were TTC for about 5 months then we decided to wait till be buy a house in the spring but we're just leaving it in Gods hands, so whatever happens happens. So were not trying but not preventing. My head is telling me to wait but my heart wants another baby. I am always reasoning everything in my head and if anyone really thinks about it, they can always find a reason to not get pregnant, so we are just letting nature take its course.... thats what hapened with our DS.)

Amen, sister! My DH and I decided not to prevent pg because it will never be the "perfect time" to have a baby. That said, "not preventing" turned into "full on trying" when we got used to the idea! LOL Best of luck to you!
