Why do you have to stay off it after positive opk? I'm sorry for all questions, I've gone peppermint tea facts obsessed x

None of us would ever know anyway. But, what could happen in that scenario is that if any sperm were living, they would have already fertilized the egg before the O Day shot could have capacitated. So, try not to worry about it.

NO one knows if estrogen even sways. It's just a theory with barely any data backing it up.

and no one knows if pep tea raises estrogen anyway. In fact I kinda doubt it does since it mucks up people's cycles like it does

Two reasons. firstly because in medicinal quantities (more than like 2-3 times a week) it may possibly be harmful to pregnancies, and secondly because if you haven't Oed, and it's delayed, then adding it back in is only going to make it WORSE.

Thank you atomic. Can I just say what an absolutely lovely and amazing selfless person you are. You go out of your way to answer each and every one of us with such detail.
I love this site, everybody here is so friendly and helpful. Unlike another swaying site I can think of x

Thank you so much! I need to hear that some days and this was one of those days LOL. :) :heart: Appreciate it.

Ah sorry atomic I forgot to point out that our second attempt was the day before positive Opk, not on it. So I'm guessing that attempt would have had time to capacitate and join the potential 3 days before attempt. Oops :(.
Depending on when I ovulated I either had a 4 day and 2 attempt before O, or a 3 and 1 day before O. It's the 3 and 1 I'm concerned about x
