Random Trying not to overthink we couldn't BD during LH peak

My fertile window officially opened on the 13th. We BD on O-5, O-3, and yesterday, O-2. But unfortunately my husband had to go out of town today and I woke up to a positive OPK test and a massive dip in my BBT, which signals I will probably ovulate tomorrow. He'll be back tomorrow morning, and we plan to BD then.

For reference, I am 29 and this is my fifth month TTC. Unfortunately had a chemical back in July.

I know that O-3, O-2, and O give me pretty solid chances this month and I'm probably just being obsessive about O-1. Was hoping anyone could reassure me/share their success stories of BDing further out in their fertile window. Thanks ~

Really hate when life doesn't want to cooperate 🥲

In my case, he is going out of town to see his dad, who is desperate for a grandchild. I am like, if you want one I need you to leave us alone for a bit pls 😂😂 We can't have one if he is always hanging out with you

I know it’s tough!!! But there’s still high chance it could happen!

I feel you, my hubs is traveling for work during basically my whole fertile window this month. It sounds like your BD plan covers the bases as best as you can, and that’s all you can do!
