Ok, so I read this post from Atomic over and over again...and over again! LOL.
This is exactly what we did as I am in late 30's. Dh did FR for a full 10 days before attempts but we did several attempts in my fertile window, yet Now I am afraid I bd in the blue zone and not in pink...for the love of G-- what is wrong with me...am I turning neurotic now that I got a BFP!
Help!
here was her post:
FR + many attempts: If you read the TTC blue section, you may recall the fertile window – the 5 days around ovulation where intercourse is most likely to yield conception. (O-3, O-2, O-1, O, O+1.) And you may also recall the microwindow (O-2, O-1, and to a much lesser extent, O Day) which are the days most likely to yield conception. If you are doing FR, you have the option of having attempts on more than one of these days in the fertile window in whatever pattern you like. 2 days, 3 days, all 5 days, alternating days, 10 attempts in 5 days – it’s up to you. There are so many options (prob. with as much difference between them as a dime vs. 2 nickels) that I won’t even list them, but I do strongly urge you to BD on either O-2 or O-1 or both for the best odds of pg.
Be sure that you have your DH release 7-10 days in a row before your FIRST attempt. There is nothing magic about just DTD 7 days in a row, you have to deplete his sperm numbers by having him release 7-10 days PRIOR to attempts. Some people have thought to include their attempts in this 7-10 day time period, but this has the potential to sway blue because DH will only have a couple of releases before the earliest attempts that might get you pregnant. His sperm numbers will just not be depleted enough without the FULL 7-10 days of release before the earliest attempt in your fertile window.

Try not to stress. You can't change it now. If you did what Atomic said, then you did the best you could.
I hope you have a pink bean in there!

Glad I put your mind a bit at ease. I remember second guessing our number of attempts as well. I really hope you get your girl!!!
