Ovulation due 27th January / Period due 10th February

So it's our first month ttc, however it's been in the pipeline for a year or so with me coming off the pill etc.

I generally have 30 day cycles and have been using my tracker app to track this which has been really reliable although I know it's not guaranteed. I am due to ovulate on the 27th January and due on my period on the 10th February.

I know the fertile window is 5 days before. Would you do it every day? Twice a day? Every other day?

SO excited to start testing in the next few weeks

Mine is due on the 10th February and my app is saying I am due to ovulate on the 27th January so it's " high now". Time will only tell I guess!

Is this your first time trying? Hopefully you will be fine and won't be waiting for too long!

Were 24 and decided last year we were ready but wanted to wait a year to make sure it wasn't a phase / were sure but a year on we are so decided to go for it!

OMG! I'm exactly the same! I can see myself getting fixated on this which I know is totally not going to help! The more I read the more I panic but I just can't help myself! Grin every tracker I use tells me different dates so I'm just going to DTD until 2 days past the fertility window this month and hope for the best. Period should arrive on feb 10/11 which now feels like years away. I'm 34 now and my husband is 40 and I'm terrified it will take us a long time to conceiveConfused

I know we avoid TTC so much when we are younger to only realise how difficulty and scientific it actually is to work! I come off Cerelle pill about a year or so ago and have been using the tracking app to avoid TTC! I have been using pre pregnancy vitamins. I don't want to get too fixated on it but we're not even a week in and here I am on mum's net looking at people's lines 🤣

I've been reading so much info on conception and learnt I clearly never paid enough attention in biology at school! Grinit's actually quite overwhelming so I hope I've understood everything and worked it out right! I had my coil removed in October so have only really been able to track my periods since then and they vary each month in terms of cycle days. If it doesn't happen this cycle I'll try ovulation sticks to see if that helps x

Hey! How exciting! We've been the same every day but it's getting quite repetitive now so in the likely event that we don't get a positive this month I think it may be every other day next month! X

Hi, this is my first cycle TTC too and have similar dates to you! I'm using an app to track which i know might not be that reliable but will and have been DTD every day since yesterday. Don't think I'd have the energy for more than once a day Grin
