HELP! I need a new BD plan. ***UPDATE and new question
Here was the original plan:
On my 5th high day on the CBEFM (which would be 2 days before O) we would BD. Then BD my 2 following peak days, and the high day after that.
In other words, we would BD 2 days before O, the day before O, the day of O, and the day after O.
With the CBEFM, you're only supposed to get a max of 5 high days.
Here's the problem:
Yesterday was my 5th high day on the CBEFM. I thought I had it all planned and I didn't tell DH that O was nearing, and we BD'd.
Today, I did NOT get my peak! 
Now I don't know what to do.
I don't want to BD again tonight, because then what if I get my peak tomorrow? We will not be able to BD 5 days in a row. 4 days (as planned) was even pushing it.
But, if we skip tonight and then get my peak tomorrow, we'll miss BDing 2 days before O.
Please help me figure out what you think might be the best plan.
Here is my chart this month so far if that helps:
**UPDATE:
Tested last night with an OPK and it was POSITIVE!
We BD'd last night.
CD 13 - BD
CD 14 - BD, +OPK
Today is CD 15 and I got my peak on my CBEFM. This means I will O tomorrow.
So should we try for CD 15 and CD 16? (day before O and day of O) and then just give up because there's no way we can handle 5 days in a row in order to get in that day after O.

Re: HELP! I need a new BD plan.
You already know that your DH has healthy sperm, o I would relax today and BD like animals when you get the peak!

Re: HELP! I need a new BD plan.
OMG, just keep BDing. I think BDing even if you're not at your peak won't do any harm. Go have fun!

Well the problem is that we can't BD that many days in a row. That's the dilemma.
DH just physically cannot handle that.
So I am trying to figure out what our best options are.
We are in our 11th month and just want to make this work already.

Re: HELP! I need a new BD plan.
I think you should BD tonight anyway...I think I remember reading that it's more important to BD before you O, as opposed to after, so if you can only get 4 days in (which I TOTALLY understand...been there)...I would probably go for it tonight.
Good luck to you...I can't wait to see you on the PG board!

Re: HELP! I need a new BD plan.
i would skip today. DH and i BD i think 3 or 4 days before O and again when i got my postive OPK, plus the day after (O day).
if you get your peak tomorrow the sperm that was there from yesterday should still be there  i really don't think there is any need to BD tonight

this is true, but if she BDs tomorrow, assuming that's her peak day, that's still before O, not during or after.

I used an ovulation kit, there is one you can get that is a 30 day kit so you keep testing and a line shows up when the hormones go up and then really dark when before you ovulate.

I think this is a good plan. Looks like you planned things perfectly!!

Re: HELP! I need a new BD plan. ***UPDATE and new question
It is so funny because after reading this, it seems like you don't O until 48 hours after your +opk and I find this with myself too.
