    Right I appear to be the only BE member to do a test this morning and get a BFN! I was sooooo convinced it was going to be positive (too much PMA) that I could hardly sleep. I am cd 33 14dpo so hoping for AF to hurry and show up now so I can start month 7!!

    Anyway before I start the month that is going to result in a BFP (never learn!) I would love to hear how the lucky BFP ladies did it??? Did you do anything different this month??

    Please share!!

    This month I used EPO from AF to OV for increased CM but can't say that it really worked for me. I also used preseed on the day I think we conceived, only 0.5 and DH didn't know anything about it so I'd obviously recommend that to anyone who dosen't get any EWCM or have much CM generally.

    We only BD'd on CD7, CD12, CD16 and CD22 and because I got my first peak on CBFM on CD12, I think that was the one that worked. As it was during the day I laid with bum in the air for about 20 mins after BD'ing but then was up and about, felt like I had quite a bit of leakage too.

    I reverted from drinking grapefruit to orange juice this month. I didn't touch a drop of alcohol in the 2ww and neither did DH but then he hardly drinks at all anyway.

    No idea of course if any of this helped but thought I'd let you know. Wishing you all the best of luck, hope you get your BFP's soon xx

    I got a BFN this morning too, but I'm not sure if / when I ovulated this month - cbfm says day 21, ff 34. I'm on 42 now I think so who knows!

    I am so envious of those of you who have regular or short periods, if ff is to be belived mine'll be about 50 days this month. Sigh..

    the month we did it (month 8 of trying) we bd'd less- only every 2-3 days. The time i think worked I had a quickie then rushed out to meet the girls and drank wine all night! I had been doing temps so knew it was about the right time. Temping was very useful as i was oving around day 21 rather than 14 as they say you should.

    Hope that helps- good luck!!

    19 weeks today!

    I have been off the pill since August 08 and trying since oct/nov but really could have fallen pregnant at any time with not being on the pill. I have had really irregular cycles since august, some 24 days some a mammoth 60. So realised that in OCT/NOV/DEC/JAN had no idea when i was ovulating. So in FEB-MARCH decided to use ovulation sticks. I have had a couple of cycles of aroun 40 days so took that to be the norm for now and started bding every other day from aroun day 10 of the cycle. Then started using the ov sticks too. Made sure I had every day for 3 days around when I ovd and a couple of days after. Also, and this may be TMI did not let him get any saliva down there as apparently it is not nice to sperm! Made sure I put my legs up on the wall after or a cushion under my bum and did not move for at least 30 minutes. It has been like a military operation!

    I do drink but not heavily and had previously given up but was getting so stressed with not getting pregnant that I have been drinking a few glasses of wine at weekend. I eat fairly healthy, but I am a vegetarian so have to eat fruit and veg! I have been taking sanatogen for pregnancy. I just can't believe it ....i really hope it is firmly in place and not going anywhere!!!!!!
