AHHHHHH another pregnancy question for ya!?

Okay, so this is mine and my husbands forth month of TTC our second child. We got pregnant in May, but unfortunately had an early miscarriage:( So now that we are trying to conceive again, I am back to my regular 30 day cycles and for the first 3 months, nothing was really planned out. We had sex when we could fit it in, and that was that. After getting my period on October 6, I put my hands up and said screw this, I'm buying and OPK. Lol I was so sick and tired of not getting pregnant and getting my period. Well throughout this whole month, my husband and I have had a boat load of sex. Probably because I had a 6 day weekend off of work, so I was home to have sex with him. We had sex on the 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, and 23. I got positive LH surge on 21 at around 12. We had sex at 1 PM, before I had to leave for work. That evening at work, I felt a strong cramping sensation on my right side lower abdomen, and it made me wonder if that might have been ovualtion and the egg releasing. I wasn't sure, but since my husband was sleeping when I got home, we waited til the morning, around 10 AM to have sex again, and then had sex on 23 in the afternoon kind of as our last dithc effort for this month, since after that, all we can do is wait and see what happens. If I ovulated on the 21, I would be 7DPO right now, and 6DPO if I ovulated on the 22. Today, I woke up feeling generally normal, except I was having shooting pains in my breasts. I didn't touch them at all, and wasn't wearing a bra, and they just started aching. It's not constant though, and they aren't very tender right now, but now I'm just driving myself insane. Do you think with the amount of sex we had and the timing of it, that we stand a good chance of getting pregnant this cycle? Thank you ladies!!

Update:

Just wanted to add that although having sex every day could decrease a mans sperm count, there is not enough scientific evidence to say that it decreases it by that much, and most doctors tell you to have sex every day, especially over ovulation, because the more sperm added the better, and with everytime a man ejaculates, newer sperm is sent out, rather than letting it sit in his testicles for a few days where it ages and becomes slower. So I just wanted to mention that. I also had sex for like 7 days straight the last time I got pregnant, so it does work! Just wanted to throw that out there. And I wasn't getting excited over sore breasts. I know better than to get excited until I have a BFP in my hand! Haha too many times of being let down!

    well, they say that if you sex everyday the man's sperm isn't always strong or plentiful enough to get you pregnant, as sperm can live in the body for around 5days (depending) they say, the best time to have sex is between the 11th and 17th days or your cycle, every SECOND day, to give his little swimmers a fighting chance...

    good luck sweetheart, i'll cross my fingers for you...

    oh, and babe, don;t get too excited (hate to be a joy kill) but, you know... a lot of things can cause what your feeling... but, i'll still keep them crossed for you :) xx
