Seriously How Could I Not Get Pregnant...Rant cause I'm Sad.

So I am 13 DPO today...tested with kind of sorta FMU using a dollar store 25miU/ML and it was BFN. I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a 2 pack of FRER tests...pee'd on one as soon as I got home (couldn't help it) and another BFN.
I am either supposed to start today or the 21st....I have not started AF today, however I do have cramping and other AF symptoms...which I had when I got pregnant with my younger son.

I have not been on any BC since 2007 when I conceived Conner. My Boyfriend is healthy 28 years old and has 2 little boys from a previous marriage, so I know his swimmers work...well at least they did 8 years ago lol.

My LMP was Feb 19th...lasted about 4-5 days which is the norm for me. Ovulation Predictor sites said I possibly Ovulated between the 2nd through the 9th.. We BD every day...until the 10th...to be on the safe side. I really think I ovulated on the 5th of March because my sex drive was really really high (BD 5 times that day) and the Ovulation Calculator site I use said my highest fertility was the 4th and 5th.

So how could I NOT be getting pregnant? I never had an issue before, hence having 4 children already lol. How long should we actively try before I speak with an OBGYN?

I do have major AF symptoms...which I am guessing I will probably start tomorrow or the 20th. I have the lower abdominal cramping, back cramping, lots of clear kind of slimy discharge(TMI sorry)! I have been very fatigued for about 2 weeks, and have had some major nausea for at least 2 months now....

I am just at a loss.....I really really really want another baby. This will be the last baby for both of us, and we really want it to happen before we both turn 30 lol.

OMG girl it has been forever! How have you and the babies been??

I actually recalculated and I am due on the 19th...so tomorrow. Not sure if I already stated that or not lol. And if I don't start AF tomorrow I will wait until the 22nd. If I am going to start AF she should be here by the 21st, I don't think I have ever gone a 32-33 day cycle so we will see!

And yeah 5x in one day...he was pretty wiped out....No pun intended ;)

BTS~ OMG... 5x in 1 day? my dh could never do that! I'd get lucky for 2x in 1 day.

lol. The others have given you good advice and it seems like your doing the right thing. so you know when I got my BFP with Mason, I'd tested the day before and got a bfn....

Yeah, but having a lower sperm count also increases the chance for a girl, since girl sperm usually lives longer and when a man has a lower sperm count due to a lot of BD'ing the majority left are sperm with the female chromosome. Besides we only went the 5 times once. Before and after that it was once a day.

Im sorry your upset,
But when you BD every single day the "sperm" count actually gets less. Try every other day thru out the month, and the 3 days b4 Ovul. BD every nite...... :) Thats what i read somewhere........ Good luck TTC.....

Do you always have that discharge?  Sorry....TMI... but I am having it too right now..... AF is about a week away I think......  But hoping that the cramps are implantation cramps since I ovulated between the 11th and the 13th.......  Good luck to you!!!
