(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??

Omg just had an amazon delivery for a water bottle, and the driver opened my door chucked the parcel in and slammed it shut! Fucking cheek mind! Didn't even wait for me to get to the door!! Angry

Complain and get freebies! Grin
If I ovulated on 15th(positive OPK) af would be due 2 weeks later, right? But my ‘period’(withdrawal bleed from stopping the pill) was 5-9th. So confused!

@Somethininthewater
Is this your first month straight off the pill?

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 11:37

It's my first month straight off the pill. My withdrawal bleed was 23-26 Sep, then ovualted on the 13th oct. now waiting for period should be 26th if two weeks after ovulation.

Lollylollypopxo · 21/10/2017 12:01

Similar for me @gem I ovulated around 15th and should be due on around 28th so we're all in quite similar timeframes. Hopefully some positives 🎉

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 12:30

@Lollylollypopxo yep hopefully! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! Just got to try keep busy for the next few days :/

Yup first month for me too. 4th baby though. I’m 36 and hoping that all my eggs haven’t shrivelled up! Said to myself we’ll only try once and if it doesn’t happen, then we’ll give up... not so sure I’ll stick to that though Confused

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 !

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

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

Lollylollypopxo · 21/10/2017 13:23

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

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!

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 13:52

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

I’m going to tryyyyy and wait til Monday... the Ovia app says test in7 days. Kids my ass Ovia! Haha

OP posts:
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)

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

Mines based on when I got the positive OPK I think

OP posts:
Gem173 · 21/10/2017 14:51

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

Pls OPK was 15th

OP posts:
Gem173 · 21/10/2017 15:36

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

Gem173 · 21/10/2017 15:39

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
