(Think) I ovulated on Sunday. DTD several times at the right times(I think!) so it’s just a case of waiting now... boy oh boy, I’m driving myself nuts!! DH has no idea when I ovulate(don’t think he wants to know as it puts the pressure on him) so I’m flying solo on the 2ww. Which is where you guys come in Grin
Anyone else in the same boat? Fancy talking each other down from THAT shelf in the supermarket??

Gem173, please can I ask which calendar you are using? Is it an app? :-)

I am silently addicted to the idea of it. Part of me thinks should I test Thursday that's only a 4 day wait!

Hmm now that I’ve added the day I ovulated to the calendar, it’s saying I’m 6 days away from being able to test. Tempted to do one tomorrow. Pretty sure it’ll be negative though as still early.
Anyone else testing(too soon) tomorrow?

Looking back now it doesn't look like I tried hard enough during my fertile days :( so pregnancy may not be as likely as others

First one in Sep is me coming off pill on 21st followed by withdrawal, the had sex a few times then bought opks and started testing. On 12th oct I got pos opk so on 13 I ovulated. Had spotting on ovulation day and 3 days later had UTI and lots of pain. Now here I am waiting for day 26 Af day

So what I see is you came off pill then bled from 5th to 9th. The ovulation sign isn't on there. When I got my pos opk I put the symbol on there that I ovulated. Il show you

After I got my pos opk I counted 14 days on and that made my cycle 33 days hence why I put it to 33 days

Somethininthewater · 21/10/2017 14:25

Mines based on when I got the positive OPK I think

Lollylollypopxo · 21/10/2017 14:24

I'm gonna force myself to wait until the 27th before I take one unless af pays me a visit lol

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 14:15

Mine says test in 4 days haha but that's because I based it on a 33 day cycle (which I may or may not have)

I got a few one step preg tests to take so just gunna take one every other day. Then on my period day take a poundshop early test then after take normal ones and then if it all works out go clear blue lol. Obvs playing it by ear as I could have af sooner or later :p when I see a bfn I don't get upset because it's only cycle 1

lgh05 · 21/10/2017 13:33

What are people's plans, are you waiting till you are due on or taking it a few days earlier? Not sure I can hold out till next Friday! Ever day feels like a year! Hate the TWW! This is my first month trying for baby number 2- I am so inpatient!

This would (WILL) be my first baby too :) I'm 22 and never wanted a baby until the past year but now that we're trying it's all I ever bloody think about. Think it probably doesn't help that I've finished my degree and me and my OH have moved in together properly for the first time in years

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 13:20

Sorry have to say I laughed when you said you get pregnant everytime he looks at you haha hopefully il be the same

You’re a spring chicken. You’ll be fine, I’m sure. I’ve alwYs got pregnant as soon as DH looks at me. Hope it happens the same this time... got a nagging feeling though that it won’t happen as easily

Nice! I'm sure your eggs are fine, I know they say the older you get the less fertile you become, but I think it just depends on your body, no ones gunna hit 40 and be stripped of fertility. All depends on your own body rate. This would be my first if I conceive. I'm 20 and am very excited to start a family with my oh :) although it's early stages so I haven't got a clue if there's anything wrong with me just yet !
