OPK + Now what?

I just went out and bought some OPK tests and took one and it's +. Both lines showed up right away. When is the best time to BD after getting a positive, right away or wait a few hours? This is the first time I have ever taken one and am so excited that I got a positive. I want this to be the month. Thanks.

Well from what I know (which is minimal!!) a positive means you will likely ovulate in the next 24-48 hours, with the norm. being around 36 hours...so I guess it is best to bd the day of the positive as well as the next 2 days? Or at least the day of the positive and maybe take a day off and then bd on the 3rd day for insurance. I got a positive too this month but I don't think I timed it right. I got a + on Monday and I had bd'd Sunday, Monday and Tuesday but if I remember correctly, I was crampy on Wednesday and Thursday so I am pretty sure I o'd then (which would have been closer to the 48 hrs. for me) and I just don't think the little guys made it this month :-) I could be wrong, but I've been spotting off and on and I just have that very distinct PERIOD FEELING :-( So good luck to you - learn from my errors!! :-)
