Was on it for 11 years?! Originally went on for acne... Don't know what to think really as normal af symptoms are new to me too but we dtd about 8 times mid cycle so I could be really lucky. Just not going to get my hopes up until see that bfp. Don't even know when to test... Will just go for 28 days since withdrawel bleed and see how I go :)

LoopyLa · 16/12/2014 18:32

If you've not had a period yet then presumably Ovia will go by averages? So a 28 day cycle & ov-ing on day 14?

You may be very lucky (it does happen!) and find yourself getting a bfp by the 23rd or you may find yourself waiting until AF arrives. How long were you on the pill Boyle?

Boyle1884 · 16/12/2014 12:10

Ladies ... Hope you don't mind me jumping in! I'm useless at the whole 2ww thing and need some advice.

This is only my first month off the pill so it's the first time I've hopefully ovulated and will have a normal af. I have no idea when I ovulated as not tracking because it's early days...

So my ovia app says fertile window was last week and since the 12th my bbs are killing, I've had lots of cm on 12th and 13th with blood streaks, and I've now had constant cramping and back ache for three solid days. Are these just symptoms after ovulation?! Af according to app is due Tuesday 23rd.

Just don't know what to expect. :)

Tidge! That's so great! Congratulations to you! Going to start dtd tonight day 8 of cycle and keep going every other day for as long as possible, that's my method! 2nd cycle doing this, hubby loving it...! Praying it works!

toohardtothinkofaname · 16/12/2014 08:38

Sakes; not on a 2ww yet! Only 2 temp rises (1 booze induced). Lots of cm started up last night though so back to DTD! OH has been really supportive & getting down to it when he's tired because I haven't quite fathomed out my fertile signs yet!

ditzzy · 16/12/2014 08:04

Great news tidge!!

I think I'm just about back on 2ww after cp too.

To Jackandjilly's question, I'm definitely keeping up dtd past ov this month mainly because I'm not 100% sure of ov timing, so don't want to take the risk... Last month I started feeling really bloated and queasy from about 7 dpo, so really wasn't in the mood after that anyway.

LoopyLa · 16/12/2014 05:55

I've only just seem this, congrats tidge!! I'm on the first 2ww since my cp so hope I get a sticky bean too Smile

Hi ive been following this thread and just seen you ask about how soon you can test. I ovulated on day 10 of my cycle so i had 18 days to wait till AF was due. I tested 7dpo and got a BFN tested 12dpo and another BFN so was upset as loads of sites said you can test that early and get a positive. The day AF was due i had 1 test left so thought may aswell try it and i got BFP :-)

So even tho its hard i think your better off waiting till your due to avoid any disapointment from a false negitive.

Cozza123 · 15/12/2014 13:19

Sorry AF 24th

Cozza123 · 15/12/2014 13:04

If I ov on the 8th so I'm about 7dpo when is the earliest I can test, coz I've done SI this month so it's bought ov earlier but I'm still guessing av will be 24th could I test on Sunday or would it be to early

toohardtothinkofaname · 14/12/2014 09:05

Jackandjilly; I do it until I get confirmed OV by 3 high temps, just every other day though. We started off doing it every day at beginning of the week but was too much!

Cozza123 · 13/12/2014 20:38

Congrats tidge hope some of that baby dust rubs off on me

jackandjilly · 13/12/2014 20:28

Congratulations tidge Smile

Can I ask you knowledgable ladies a question? Do you carry on dtd all the way through your cycle or stop once you think you have ovulated? I don't know exactly when I ovulate so don't want to stop too soon iyswim

deeplybaffled · 13/12/2014 19:31

Congratulations tidge - definitely a lucky thread :)
toohard - I'm going to try to hold out till Christmas eve, I hope......maybe!

tidge; ignore my message! I've just seen the OP and realised you created the thread and you were 5dpo when you did it.

SO pleased the thread brought you luck too!

toohardtothinkofaname · 13/12/2014 16:52

hey tidge, congratulations! - how many dpo are you and any symptoms?!

I'm so happy (and hopeful) for all the BFPs this thread has brought :D

welcome deeplybaffled, do you think you'll hold out that long? (I don't think I will!)

Eurghhh got a strong feeling I'm gonna be out this month :( I don't know why tho.. We will see eventually it's just waiting! Not getting hopes up this cycle! Popping to town and getting the tampons in tomorrow maybe reverse psychology will help ;)
