Hope you feel better soon Castaway! I had back surgery in July so i know how you feel.
Even if you are out of the running this month,its a good idea to be ready for next month
I did OPK yesterday and this morning (CD13 & CD14) and got a faint line both times so fingers crossed its going to happen for me! i used to OV around CD17 before DD so i hope the faint lines are building up to a big fat O!

Best of luck hun, I am in so much freakin pain AND when they intubated me and took the tube out they have my throat so swollen and some how I must have bit my tongue, so thats numb!

Aw hun sorry you're in pain after the op :0( I'm sure it will all be worth it in the long run though. My nan had a knee replacement and I remember her saying it was really painful afterwards but after a few months she was completely back to normal and running around lots. You'll get there hun and have exciting times ahead to distract you lol ;-) it's a good idea to get the cbfm up and running. My monitor will be out of sync for a few months as I've reset it for this cycle and then going to have to reset it next cycle too as its not in line with my cycle days lol! It's been on a 'high' again today and I'm getting all the usual pains tht I get when I ov so fingers crossed. Dogtanian sounds like you are close to ov as well! :-D

My cbfm says peak this morning! :-D I've had two highs with it over the past two days and today is a peak. We dtd on both high days though so not sure if its too much doing both peak days as we did tht last time when ttc and it didn't work. Whoops lol- ah well it's all good fun ;-)

Yeah! I did not got pregnant by dtd on the peak days but the high days leading up to it! You are in the game hun!

Well for me, I am officially confused! lol I know the first month you may not get peaks, and to be honest, last time I didn't till the second month (I used it a month before last time to see if I would ovulate as I was coming off birth control and my cycle was wonky). Well I only had highs, I am CD13 today. I usually ovulate between 10th and the 13th...but then again my cycle may be different so this is a wait and see kinda thing.

Well, this is where it gets weird! lol On Saturday my right ovary hurt, like OV pain. So I am going with I o'ed that day. If so we did the deed 2 and 3 days prior. If that is true, we are even more in this than l thought! I would be 2 DPO now if that is the case. I am taking all my medication as I called the OBGYN and they said to take the medication until I test positive then we would have to rethink my medication specifically my aspirin intake. I only took one dose of pain killers yesterday, hoping for the same luck today on that. Been powering through he pain pretty much We have so much going on that I don't see how we could be positive this month BUT for accidentally hitting our high days, I swear that would be wonderful!!! My period should start in 13 days, last time I tested positive at 9 DPO and I start to test at 8! lol I cannot believe it, I am officially in my TWW! Good luck ladies!!

Ah fantastic! Fingers crossed for u then hun!! It's much easier to tell when u get the ov pains isn't it. Some people don't get them but mine are quite strong. Wow u tested positive really early then! Eek your post has me feeling even more excited! Can't believe it's into the 2 ww already!

Wow I can’t believe we’re entering the TWW! Exciting!

afm I’m not sure if I have O’d or not, going by O pain I think I O’d in the night, but yesterday morning and evening I had almost positive OPK and then this morning it’s positive but I think I may have already O’d and that the positive test is the tail of it, idk Anyway we dtd last night so hopefully whether it was last night or today we’re in the running. We probably won’t be able to dtd tonight (DH is out) and was planning on dtd tomorrow. Usually when I get O pains they last a few days, building up and then go after O, but they only started lightly on Sunday then quite painful yesterday and nothing today. I just hope it wasn’t a false alarm. Oh well, time will tell, looks like I’m either just in or about to enter the TWW. GL everyone

I still havnt OV'd so im the only one thats not in the TWW! ive had a few faint positives,but not a positive yet.I used to OV CD17-18 so hoping thats still the case (CD16 today).
Is it common to not OV the first month off BC?
Would be great if someone on this thread got a BFP this month

I did not O the first month off BC!! It happened to me

I cannot believe how constipated I am! (Sorry way too much TMI!) I am only about 4 DPO so I am not sure if it is from the pain killers I was on or the pregnancy...last time I was pregnant I was constipated and then had bad diarrhea so it could go either way!

My gums also bled this morning when I brushed, I had that last time when I was preggers too! Gah, the TWW! LOL We only dtd twice so I am not holding out much hope, but seriously, cannot wait to POAS!!!!
