Hello everyone
Would it be possible to be able to concieve if dh and I bd a day after I ovulated? I am sure that the day I did ovulate was feb 4th.. When is the egg actually released and how long do we have to bd before the egg dissolves?
Thanks in advance... baby dust to all

It is possible - but not very likely. The egg supposeldy only has a couple of hours to catch a sperm. Did you bd at all before ovulation? That is your best bet!

Yeah we also bd'd the 4th, then early morning on the 5th, like a few hours after... maybe like 5 or so hours ( 2-3am on the 5th). Thanks so much for your knowledge on this. I have been reading through some old posts and you and all these other ladies know your stuff! I hope all goes well for you. So how long is the time frame from when temps increase and the egg is released? I thought I read on here, like 24-36 hours, maybe I read it for something else, please correct me if I am wrong on this.
Take Care
