6-7 DPO and obsessed!
DH and I are trying for baby #2! I stopped taking BC in February and had 2 wacky cycles in February and March. April and May have been normal 28-30 day cycles. After an unsuccessful month in April, we tried the SMEP method this month. For the first time I used OPKs. I ovulated around CD 15-16. We BD'd every other day, starting on day 8. We BD'd for three days in a row on CD's 14-16 and then took a two day break, due to DH being out of town, and then one more time on CD 19. This two week wait has been awful. I thought that using OPKs would have made me less crazy, but I think that I now have a HUGE addition to POS.
I just don't know that I did everything that I could this month. I am also not sure that my CM has been the best to conceive. Although, it doesn't seem to change much. TMI, but it is usually is watery. On CD 19 it was very creamy. Other than that, it hasnt changed.
Now what? I feel like I am going to be very discouraged if this isnt our month.

I feel the same way, I am only 2dpo but this cycle I did almost everything I could, using OPks...preseed, soft cups and basically doing the deed every day in my fertile period. I am sooo scared I am going to be let down this month again knowing I basically did all I could. Not sure if my boyfriend can endure another month. Mentally and physically it is exhausting but you have to remember to tell yourself everything happens for a reason and good things come to those who wait. Good luck!

I agree with that. After we had DD, I kept telling everyone around me trying... to relax and let it happen. Now, here we are 2 years later and I am just as obsessed and stressed. What is soft cups? I have heard of preseed and since my CM never changes, maybe that would be something I could try next cycle. I feel like people are getting pregnant around me left and right. I am keeping my finger crossed and I am next. Good luck to you!!! I love being a mommy and can't wait to do it again.

I am trying for number one! A lot of women are becoming pregnant on here so that is reassuring. Soft cups are really used for ur period...women are using them for fertility now by inserting them after you do the deed,.this will hold the semen up close to your cervix...and sorry if tmi but after that if you orgasm your cervix will basically suck them in. This makes it a little easier for the semen to travel and quicker. I do a little pre seed in the cup as well. This is my first cycle trying the both of them so we will see. It can't hurt to try though.

I soooo know how you feel! It's our 2nd cycle trying after having my daughter. It's my 3rd cycle postpartum since I was breastfeeding.
I am 9 dpo, bfn this morning.... I did BBT and opks. I feel we just didn't bd enough....
Prior to pregnancy, I had 26 days cycle and conceived my daughter on the first try. Now, I have 32-35 days cycle and I feel it's not going to be that easy!
I am feeling obsessed and super stressed to! My cycles are just soooooo long now!

My cycles changed after my daughter too. I went almost two years without a period. I am not sure if I was ovulating during that time. With DD it took three month of trying, but I stayed busy and wasn't able to obsess during the month we finally conceived. I know they say to try and relax, but is it really possible? I just dont understand why it has to be so hard?!?! I don't want to get discouraged. I wanted to buy more OPKs and pregnancy tests. But, right about the time I do that will be the time I get my BFP.
