Need advice on the big 'O'. . .

Here's my situation. My husband is out of town this summer at his MBA internship. I was there last weekend and we did the BD on CD 9 (recommened by OB/GYN). I had to fly back to Chicago on Sunday night (same day we did the BD). I have a VERY short cycle that usually is 23-24 days. I 'O' on days 11-13 depending on the month. I 'O' yesterday, Tuesday, confirmed with OPK on Monday afternoon.

Here's my question. We always read that sperm can live up to 5 days, but does anyone have any experience with getting pg in a situation like mine? I'm just wondering if I should even get my hopes up this month. I had no CM, no O pains or anything on Sunday.

I've been so let down for the last 4 months I don't want to feel it again. Is there any chance that doing the BD on the CD9 day and O on CD11 could result in a BFP on August 6th???

I also want to send out BFP vibes to everyone! You all have really made me feel better about all of this stuff over the past couple of months since I joined!!!

It's possible to get pg in your situation... in fact, it's best to get the BD done BEFORE your actual "O" date, so the swimmers are already "in position" when the egg is released.

Good luck, and stay positive!

Thanks!! I'll keep my chin up! I appreciate the response.

Go little swimmers go! I just hope they'll hang out, drink some margaritas and wait for my egg to join the party =)
