I have two children (3, 1.5 years) that were conceived without "trying." Right now, I am hoping for #3...and started trying to get pregnant. I am using an ovulation predictor which came up positive today -- so if I understand the instructions correctly, I will ovulate within the next 24-26 hrs. Unfortunately, my husband leaves for a business trip early tomorrow morning and doesn't return until late Thursday night. Does this mean all bets are off this month? Or if we try tonight...or tomorrow morning (pre-dawn hours) could that work? I feel silly asking considering I have 2 children, I just never had the need to research this before. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thanks so much ladies. We'll give it a go! :)

You are actually most fertile 2-3 days BEFORE you ovulate. So definitely have sex now! Good luck, and have fun trying!!
Don't get too hung up on dates/ovulation prediction. Especially as you have had no fertility issues before. I got pregnant with my second very late in my cycle, when according to dates and my cycle as tracked with test kits it should have been impossible! Regular sex and staying chilled out about it is the best way, unless you are actually having problems. Good luck!
I have done this myself. Try tonite and again in the AM if you can. Stay on your back for 20 minutes do not get up. Trust me I did this and my son is now 3 yrs old. Tell your husband no Hot showers just warm to cool water this keeps the cells active. I read a lot on this. I was trying for a boy since I had a girl and I got my boy. :) Good Luck!!! :) :) :)
I would try tonight and again tomorrow, why waste the opportunity. If you don't conceive this month, try again next.
Good luck!
