I found this on a website i was reading. I didn't realise that OV can be so short, like literally 6 hours. So technically if you OV early in the morning and don't bed untill the evening you could miss egg.
OMG everyday it is then lol


How long can a human egg survive?

Most ova probably survive about six to twelve hours after ovulation. However, for the purposes of contraception, you must count on a 24-hour survival period, plus an additional 24 hours in case there is a multiple ovulation.

thats odd i just came across this whilst looking at ovulation calendar thingy.

"The egg can survive for about 24 hours without being fertilized and then disintegrates."

Jeez i wish these "experts" would make up their minds :roll:

Thats why we bed every other night from the time AF goes until the time AF arrives again coz the sperm can live longer.

Yeah i understand why its best to BD every night but i always thought the egg lasted 24 hours not 6 hours how crazy!! xx

We bd every other day as the swimmers are meant to be able to live for a while in fertile cm. x
