HELP! Advice needed, freaking out!

So, before I begin I appreciate I may be totally paranoid but I seem to be getting worse with each cycle. None of my friends are trying or have children so I have nobody to talk to!

Been using Clearblue tests and had peak fertility Tuesday morning. DTD Tuesday (night) and Wednesday (afternoon). This lockdown has definitely helped us reconnect and we did stuff (not sex) which ended in me orgasming. I went online (which I should NEVER do) and read the two horrific studies which SUGGEST orgasming prevents implantation.

Has this happened to anyone else? Any success stories? I know stress will be the biggest contributing factor to not conceiving this cycle so would really appreciate some support.

Thank you x

Sorry didn’t clarify - did stuff today (Friday) which ended up in me orgasming.

I have never heard that, and in fact have heard it helps!

Step away from google!

It's purely a theory and even if it's true it's based on orgasm contractions preventing the blastocyst from burrowing into the uterine lining - and you're not at that stage yet anyway! If you're stressed I've read that the benefits of orgasms to mental wellbeing outweighs the risks of it potentially hindering implantation.

Also if you think about it logically - most people will end up having sex during TWW and still manage to get pregnant all the time so chill!😁

No worries - I get into spirals like that too! I'm constantly reading into my symptoms and thinking I'm entering perimenopause (I'm 32)😅

Me too! I’ve even had all the blood tests and ultrasounds to check everything as my doctor feels sorry for me being so worried I think. I’m 29 so in the same boat!

There is a pretty well known theory that the woman orgasming during sex actually helps conception by hoovering the sperm upwards a bit.

That's complete BS! I had one with both of my pregnancies

After possible conception? If I have conceived it was probably Weds and the O was Friday?
