What are my chances?

I just read how someone got a BFP and they only had sex one time and it was 2 or 3 days before Oing... Dh and I were able to BD about 3 or 4 days before I think I O'd and then he deployed... SOO... what I'm asking is, WHAT are my chances that the sperm could have actually made it? I've read that sperm can live UP to 5 days, and I even think I had fertile CM the da y we BD'd, but I'm scared to hope too much. I did lay there for almost an hour with a pillow under me. (i felt like a fool, lol, but hey, if it works!!)

I mean, are the chances slim or what?

Thanks!

It is possible...depending in the quality of CM. How's that to keep you obsessing for the next two weeks??? Good luck, and keep us posted.

LOL, no joke Lisa!!! I asked a friend about it and she was like, "No way, two days is the max" and it totally crushed me (even tho I don't really believe her!!) I guess even if I say I'm not going to get my hopes up, I can't really help it!! Thanks, Lisa!!

2 days is NOT the max. It can last up to 5 in really fertile cm, its not likely, but its definately more than two. HOWEVER, your chances of concieving right off bcp arent as likely that you reached the egg. I hope you did though! Good luck!

hi..

if you look at charts in FF, there are many who got a BFP when BDing was 3 days before.. and a few with 4days... I haven't seen one with 5 however. I'd say if you're sure of your O date, and had good CM, you have got a good fighting chance!

best of luck!

Well, I've been off the pill for 2 months, I know that it can take longer for your body to get back to normal, but I've seen enough ppl get BFP this soon to not really take the pill into consideration anymore. One thing I'm going to do for sure though, is not test until I'm late (unless I'm throwing up constantly or something, LOL)

Thanks for the hope! :)

Thanks, Cathy!

I'm not POSITIVE of my O date because I haven't been charting or anything, but I did start to notice watery CM starting the Wed night that we BD'd (before BDing) and then up until the day after I think I O'd. (I'm guessing I O'd Sunday night, which would be four nights, but I say five because, who knows, maybe I O'd Monday... or maybe I didn't O at all, or maybe I O'd Friday, LOL! I was so mad because his boat left earlier than expected so we lost a few days of BDing that I was counting on! Stupid boat!)
