2 week wait - again!

It's that time of the month again. The dreaded two week wait. 3rd month of trying and 1st month using ovulation kits.

Last month I convinced myself I was pregnant and obviously wasn't so trying not to do that this month.

Finding the whole process very draining to be honest. DH and I don't have very high sex drives. We're normally once a week people and are both fine with that. So having to do the deed when neither of us really want to is not as fun as I'd hoped! But we managed 3 times in ovulation week this month so fingers crossed.

Anyone else want a 2ww buddy? Smile

Hi CatLover. When did you ovulate? I'm 12dpo so not long left to wait but it's been so hard and I'm so very tempted to test tomorrow. I've actually hidden the tests away in the bedroom so can't sneak one to the bathroom unless I'm real obvious about it. I don't want to let my husband know when I'm testing as would rather surprise him with a positive than disappoint him with a negative iyswim. No point both us being disappointed!!

The days I haven't found too bad but struggling to distract myself in the evenings!!

Fingers crossed this month is your month!!

Hi Smile I too am trying.
But I think convincing yourself that your pregnant when you don't have any evidence, i.e: positive pregnancy test result really isn't healthy for you or your mind, as your setting yourself up for disappointment & downfall, which would make you more upset. You need to relax, and chill out. Don't dread the 2 weeks, you should just carry on life as normal in this time & let nature do its thing, without it being constantly on your mind. I know it's hard, but you sound like the whole thing is stressing you out and that can effect your chances of conceiving.
