How many times should I inseminate?
So, if your fluid was most clear and stretchy 12 hours after the OPK positive, and then the fluid changed back to sticky/tacky by 24 hours after the OPK positive, then the best time for you to inseminate was 12 hours after the OPK positive – 24 hours later would have been too late.
