when you O, do the spermies already have to be in there waiting for the egg, or if you BD after you O, can they still catch it? If so, how long do you have to get them in there to find the egg? Sorry for the stupid question.

No *stupid* questions on here :)
From what I know, the egg only lives for about 24 hours after you O, and the sperm need approximately 12 hours to morph their heads to be able to penetrate the egg. So, your best chances, by far, are to BD ahead of time so that the sperm are primed, ready, and waiting when that little eggie comes down the tubes! I think it is possible to still catch it after O, but not very likely for most people. I hope this helps!
Cheers!
