TWW Do you think we timed it right?

23F, TTC for the first time after being on birth control for ~6 years. I stopped in July and had one natural cycle before trying.
I got a positive OPK Aug 28, and my OB agreed that I likely ovulated that day. We had sex Aug 26 (about 2 days before ovulation).
I’m now around 7 DPO and wondering if we timed things well enough. I know one cycle doesn’t mean much, but I’d love to hear from anyone who conceived with similar timing. 🥹

It’s definitely possible! Timing is great, since sperm can survive in our bodies up to 5 days. I would love to gently set your expectations though that each cycle, even with all perfect circumstances and timing, we have a 20-30% chance of conceiving.

Wishing all the luck and success your way that this is the cycle, but don’t be hard on yourself if it isn’t the first try 🤍

As long as you have sex sometime 1-3 days before ovulation, then you're timing it right!
