Advice please!!! Tips!!!

Looking for some advice...input... really anything. My hubby and I have two beautiful boys (aged 4 and 20 months) that were not planned at the time but graciously welcomed. We are actively trying to add our 3rd. (Hoping for a girl)

My last period started June 13th which lasted 6 days and since it ended it has been 13 days. 10 of those day we have had sex. Out of those 10 days we have had sex 14 times. The wait is killing me. Is having that much sex helping or can it hurt because its lowering his sperm count? Also what is the earliest any of you have tested and gotten a BFP?? Actually trying is stressful!!!!!

Are you doing anything to track ovulation? Such as OPKs or temping? It's way better to know when you ovulate and have a ton of sex then instead of just doing it a lot over the span of 10 days. It's also best to have sex the day before ovulation, so that the sperm is waiting for the egg. Good luck!!

There are a few lucky ladies that get their bfp at 10dpo and other have to wait till they have missed their period. I would say to be save and not get disappointed with a bfn, try to wait till about 12dpo and so on...good luck

I should also add that i have been feeling some weird pressure in my lower abdomen along with slight cramping on my left side. Not sure how fast you can feel pregnancy symptoms after conception.  I cant remember with my first 2.
