LH surge , when to BD

[Amy190]

hiya,

I’m having my LH surge right now, but I can’t have sex tonight as my Husband is at work! We will only be able to do it around 9pm tomorrow night

Will I miss our chance!? ☹️ We had sex last night so hoping that counts. X

Hi @Amy190, sperm can stay in the body for 5 days, so if you did it yesterday, you might get a lucky winner. Also the egg once released can survive and wait to be fertilised for about 12h. Now, the tests are qualitative, they don't tell you exactly when the surge happened or is happening and there is also a time delay between the surge and the release of the egg. So tomorrow night still counts. Have fun and lots of baby dust!

Hi Amy. You may be ok, as that is an indication when it is about to happen. You egg will live for 24 hrs, so hopefully you will be in time. Good luck. Diane

You have definitely covered this month. Good luck with the 2WW hope it doesn't drag and you get a BFP 🤗Xx
