Im beginning to become frustrated,

I recently bought these
Ouvulation test strips, but I have not gotten a positive result yet, I'm meant to be most fertiole now, but nothing, no cervical mucus either, is there a chance I could have ovulated earlier in the month?

Because there was mucous then, but this was only a few days ofter mentration had finished?

:(

It is possible... some women do not ovulate according to the norm or the date they get on the ovulation predictor websites. I know I don't!

It is quite possible that if you tend to ovulate on the early side you may have noticed a change in cervical mucus just a few days after your last period. Often, the mucus starts to change a few days before ovulation so that sperm can survive that long waiting for an egg.

When you do another round of ovulation sticks, try starting several days earlier than what is recommended on the package. Some women end up using two kits in one month... for a few months (yes, it can get pricey) in order to catch when they are most likely ovulating.

I'm 26.
I have a daughter who is 2.
Do you think I should stop analysing it, and leave it to nature,

Will I get pregnant if I don't chart when I'm ovulating.

We have intercourse on average twice a week usually. Is this enough

Most women will become pregnant at some point, just from a matter of eventual odds... although waiting for it to happen can be frustrating. It usually isn't considered suspect unless you have been trying for over a year or so.

Most women do not chart or use ovulation predictor kits... they just happen to hit the right time in any given cycle.

Twice a week is enough if it happens to coincide with when you ovulate. When actively trying, some couples will try for every other day or every third day just to close the gap a bit more... you just want to be sure not to let it become a chore. When you have a fairly good idea of when you might be ovulating... maybe just increase the sessions a bit more around that time... might tack on a few days before for good measure.
