Peak day but burned out :(

We’ve been TTC for a while now. However this is only the second cycle that I am tracking LH/ovulation. A couple months ago I had a health issue which threw off my cycle a little bit. So I wasn’t certain if my LH would have a high peak this month. As you can see from my attached chart, my husband and I kept at it and had sex in the days leading up to CD14 which is when I thought I would ovulate, however here I am on CD18 with a dye stealer ovulation test (second photo attached), but with an incredibly burned out husband since we’ve had sex for 2 days in a row after only 1 day break following 4 more days of sex. But today is officially ovulation day and he is so tired the poor thing :( He is a free spirit and likes to keeps things spontaneous but has been such a team player with trying to time sex this cycle. It’s just come to a point where it feels cruel of me to ask him to do it again tonight. What would you do? Should we just count on the sperm from the last two days? Is there a point in having sex tomorrow in the hopes of catching the egg?

The LH surge occurs just before ovulation as far as I am aware. The egg will be released 24 to 36 hours after this. So you'd be good to wait until tomorrow?

Having sex on peak day gives you your highest chances because you can guarantee that sperm will be waiting for the egg to be released. However, if you had sex yesterday that is fine! You're still in with a great chance.

Ovulation happens 12-36 hours after peak and since your peak is this morning ovulation is most likely to happen sometime tomorrow morning. If you were to have sex after ovulation has happened your chances of those sperm making a difference is slim.

Have tonight off if hubby doesn't feel like it. But still worth asking the question if he is up to it. But pressure free. Explain that you've covered your bases if he wants a night off ❤️❤️❤️ xxx

Sadly Desperate

I’ve been a step mom for over 6 years now and it seems like this year it has all went to hell. My relationship with my step kids, my feelings as a stepmom and everything else in general. I love my husband and he supports me every way he can I just don’t have anyone else in my situation that can help or understands what I’m going through. If anyone is willing to listen or just give their thoughts I would greatly appreciate it 💜

Can you re use a pregnancy test

I did it and it came out positive the second time?
