when should we BD after + OPK?

hello everyone!

i'm so happy to be here - i'm new to the boards and i've learned so much so far - also it's nice to be able to share with women in the same boat. here's a little about me:

i'm 33, my sweetie is 45 and we can't wait to have a bunch of beautiful, plump babies. this is my 2nd cycle TTC. last month, i was charting on a calender and this month i've begun using OPK (clearblue easy - the one you pee on the stick and get a smiley face when you have your LH surge). anyways, i started testing on day 6 and yesterday i got a smiley face! we had fun about an hour after the test and again last night around midnight. should we try again tonight and over the next few days? when should i expect to ovulate? the ivillage fertility planner says since the positive test was yesterday, then today is my day to O but should we continue to BD the next few days? this whole thing has me confused!

*side note - last month i had a ton of egg white (i know TMI) but we didnt BD until a few days after. this month, i've had more of a very creamy, lotion like the past few days and i don't know if there's been egg white because we had a lot of fun last week (if you catch my drift).

any feedback would be greatly appreciated - thank you everyone so much!
and buckets of babydust to all!!!

HI


welcome!


I would suggest you bd until you get clear signs you O'd (temp rise and EWCM dries up). You can O up to 48 hours after a + OPK so in fact you may not O until tomorrow so yes Bd tonight and see what your temp shows tomorrow. GL!
