Be honest, timing stinks right?

I had my one and only + OPK yesterday (around 2:00 pm) and I think I may have O'd yesterday as well. Temp is up (but not much higher than CD 11) and not much CM to speak of, pretty dry. The problem is due to work schedules we didn't even see each other yesterday. We did BD this morning and will again tonight or tomorrow morning just in case I haven't O'd yet. So if I did O yesterday timing isn't too great right? I know CD 10 gives us a small chance. I wish we would have BD'd Tues but DH was tired and I hadn't had a + OPK so I didn't push it. Working seperate shifts makes it difficult.

On a positive note the only other cycle that I've charted and O'd this early is the cycle DD was conceived. Timing wasn't great then either.

Stop worrying! Your timing looks great to me. You have to remember it only takes one. You bd when you had ewcm so that is great. You also bd on the day after your positive opk, also great. Even though you see a shift on your chart your egg may have just been released. You have a little time after you see the shift where you are potentially fertile. I think you timed things just fine and still have a good shot at things.

Thanks. Definitely not losing hope yet considering I don't even know if I O'd for sure yesterday or today. On to the TWW.

Honestly, your timing is just fine.

I agree with Patty and Shawna, but wanted to say I understand your frustration of shift work and not always being together when you need to be. DH and I both work shift work, as well as out of town work so I'm often panicking and forcing him to BD at the most ridiculous times just in case!

I agree! Your timing looks great!

Healthy sperm can live from 2-5 (MAYBE even 7....but thats a stretch), so you are good!

Your timing is better than mine!!! I only had CD 11 and I think I O'd CD13 but DH left on CD12 for a trip so I'm pinning all my hopes on the one time despite that I've had really no fertile CM!
