    I don't really see what else I can try - although am considering buying a learblue Fertility Monitor off Ebay.
    You seem to have everything covered:T
    I have my OH on Pregnacare too. It takes two to make/lose a baby;)

    Evenin' ladies. Bit low here too. CD36 and gave into the temptation to POAS. Picked up the 99p strips from HB and as expected, BFN. Looks like I'm out of the game for the forseeable future :(:(:(

    If EWCM is a problem, have you looked into Preseed? It's supposed to be a sperm friendly lube. We've been using it, not preggers yet though.

    Hi thanks for the welcome.

    We are using Conceieve Plus which is very similar to Preseed. It comes in a tube, you can buy it at Boots http://www.conceiveplus.co.uk I liked the sound of it more than Preseed as you apply that with an applicator. With the Conceive Plus I can even use a little of it without OH realising as it feels so natural - although we only use it when we absolutely have to.

    I have to say the Softcups are great. They look a bit scary but they are easy to put in and they omit any wet patches :p

    hi all

    gizmodo- they were ebay ones but i have used a regular POAS jobby but im not sure what make it was.

    i am incredibly tired today, i was last night too started nodding off on the sofa at about 7pm , not like me at all hmmm.
    I had a sore throat yesterday and saturday not majorly sore but still there so i thin ki might be coming down with something. I hope not :)

    i nfeel a tad deflated i guess, i really thought it was my cycle, that lil bleed i had didnt help, ( i thought it was implantation) i know it isnt over till the witch
    flies in but it doesnt help :)

    hi fairyshazza...i too took EPO this cycle, i dont think i took a high enough dose as there was very little difference, some slight EWCM but not as much as id hoped, so if i havent got my :bfp: this cycle i think i will up my dose :)

    FX'd to all x

    Well, it isn't over till AF shows. But it is easy to symptom spot and get your hopes up. I SS the first month and had such a huge come down when I got my BFN and was a week late. Last much I was much more chilled, I didn't test at all which I am quite proud of myself for! (hugs)

    Oooh thanks for that. So how does conceiveplus work then? Is it just like normal lubricant? I quite like using the applicator for preseed as it makes things less messy. I'm afraid our DTD is not spontaneous or natural at the moment as I have vaginismus, so the applicator doesn't get in the way of things at the mo. I think the tube I got for £11ish will last 8 BDs. Maybe conceiveplus is more MSE?

    Yep you use the Conceive Plus just as you would a normal lubricant so you can apply inside, or directly onto OH. It says it exclusively contains Calcium and Magnesium ions and is formulated to match fertile cervical liquid and semen to assist in creating a conception-friendly environment. It is really nice to use and feels very natural.

    I think it's about £15 in Boots but I brought a tube with 50 internet cheapie tests (you can chose a mixture of OPKs or HPTs) for about the same price as it is in Boots :) Have had it since the beginning of the year and have probably got another two or three months worth left in the tube (maybe a little more) so it is definitely quite cost effective.
