I ovulated on CD 17. I BD on CD13, CD14,CD16,and CD17. Did i miss out on my chance to catch the egg? I heard that its best to have sex the day before ovulation, but i didnt because i was too tired =\
sorry i ovulated on cd 16. BD on CD13,CD14,CD16 and CD 17.
 
It's possible to get pregnant before,after, or during ovulation. Once you ovulate, your egg usually lasts 24 hours. Sperm usually stays alive inside of you for 48 hours. The exact time doesn't really matter as long as sperm meets up with your egg any time dring the 24 hours it is alive.
 
It sounds like you did everything right. Sperm can live in the female body for up to 5 days, they have to swim to the egg as it is released therefore the window for conception is surprisingly small. It sounds to me like you covered all the bases. It only takes one. Good luck!
 
Sperm can live for up to five days so there is still a good chance you will catch that egg. Your best days are the five days leading up to ovulation. It would have been good BD on cd 15 but there is still a good chance. Take care of yourself during this 2WW and let us know.
