My wife and I are trying to get pregnant. Last month we misscalculated the ovulation time. This month we feel confident that we got it right. 8th aug.-11th. The 11th being ovulation day. We had intercourse on the 8th. She is due to start(or not) her period on the 25th. Tuesday of this week she had her annual pap and was tested(urine) which was neg. Then on thursday she was tested again neg. As well. Then today....She told me that she felt very wet....Like af was there, or ovulation cm....She said it was clear. Could this be a poss. Sign???? :d .....So far this is the first unusual sign that we have noticed....

When ttc your best bet is to have sex every other day (gives your sperma chance to build back up, rather than everyday)
start around day 7 or after her period is finished (although rare some women do ovulate right around their period)
by having sex every other day, there should be sperm hanging round even if you don't actually have sex on ovulation day.
But it does seem that the harder you try the less likely it will be.
So best of all have good sex and if one of you isn't interested that day, so be it, don't push it, just enjoy it.
Hope you get the answer you are hoping for Wink

She might be pregnant and the tests are just not picking up her hcg levels, I got negatives before my missed period but about a week after my missed period, I got a positive! I think its best to test after she misses her period.

Sounds like you guys are charting, if you are, I recommend (highly) www.Fertilityfriend.Com (it was suggested to me by another user) anyway it is great, i've been charting, taking my temp, and when I plugged in my last month's data it seems I ovulated 4 days earlier than I expected! Which means even though I thought we were having sex at our optimum days we were actually late!

And there's a lot of good information on the site. To answer your question about the possibility of ovulation cm being a sign, they said (based on analyzing thousands of charts) that the only clear charting symptoms of pregnancy is an elevated temperature at least 18 days post-ovulation...Or a positve hpt!

Hope this helps and best wishes

Lol don't I know about the raised temp, since I got pregnant I have been soooooooooooo hot, sometimes even to the point of feeling ill - fortunately my nice boss lets me have a fan on the customer service desk Cool

Hi stephned,

hope you're not giving your loving wife too much pressure. Pls remember you 2 are working towards the same goal. It's not her (nor yours) fault for her not becoming pregnant. You would never understand how a woman be that disappointed when her period comes while she's expecting herself to be preg. I heart was in the bottom of a valley when that happened to me.

Good luck to you both Smile
