Reassurance please
After much thought and discussion about number if attempts and swaying V conceiving, we went for 2 attempts, Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening.
I OPK tested 3 tines a day and hot my first positive at 1pm Wednesday.
I resisted the temptation to DTD again last night.
I know that it's very possible to get pregnant with even one attempt, but I still worry that we didn't do enough.
I expect that I ovulated yesterday or today.
Please reassure me that our chances of conception are OK, even if last attempt was 2 days before ovulation.

2 days before ovulation is among the two highest days of conception. Both 2 days and 1 day before ovulation have conception rates above 30%.

Thankyou. Chances are 30% from either one of these days alone? They are equally as good? Or is that from BD'ing on both?

BD 2 days before O (and not afterwards) accounts for something like 33% of all pregnancies.
BD 1 day before O (and not afterwards) accounts for something like 32.5% of all pregnancies
THere is not the level of info for me to be able to say, yes these people had X numbers of attempts and so on. That wasn't covered in that study.
But it is absolutely, totally, completely and thoroughly possible to get pg from one attempt provided it is on a day with good odds of conception. ONe shot of sperm has more than enough swimmers to impregnate millions of women.!!! Questions?? Check out the NEW and improved Complete Index !!!

Excellent! I'm feeling good about a BFP this month, and as time goes on, that's becoming more important than swaying, although if course I'm still hoping for pink!
You may remember that one of the reasons we were going to BD more was because DH thought we weren't trying enough.. Well, to keep the peace, last night, 9pm Friday, we DTD again. Would you count that as an attempt? First positive OPK was Wednesday 1pm.

I would count Fri as a third attempt, yes, but most likely it was after you Oed.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

If it was after I O'd, would it still count? I know it's unlikely to conceive BD'ing after O, so I hoped it wouldn't.
Hopefully wednesdays sperm caught it before!
I had been more relaxed this month, but then obsessed the whole of ovulation week, which I know is bad for my sway, so now in worried about that too!
I've had a fun cheat day yesterday, and now I'm going to try to relax into another 2 week wait.
Thankyou very much for you support and for answering all my questions!
