Hello again, two week wait...

[karategirl]

I'm in the 2ww again, and hoping this might be the one. I ordered some preseed, but it didn't arrive until right at the end of my fertile window, so only used it a couple of times but hoping it'll help!

Anyone care to join me with the madness, impatience and symptom spotting?

I know it's hard when your partner seems stressed by it all. This month we were much relaxed than last month and it helped that we didn't really talk about it. I initiated sex because obviously I was aware of my fertile window than my husband is but we didn't start having regular sex until cd11, which means we didn't get bored of it. Just try to keep it light and loving rather than a chore, the same as if you were having sex without the aim of conceiving.

@BandhaAid that is a fabulous idea, if I don't even tell him my window then there can't be any pressure because he wouldn't have a clue without me letting him know. Thank you so much for the advice. Xxx

No problem. I try to make sure we do it five days in a row from when I start getting ewcm until the day after I ovulate according to my bbt

@BandhaAid hello fellow type 1 diabetic!! It's so nice to read your posts and I wish you lots of luck! Please let me know how you get on with your sugars etc. as my care team were a little disappointing during my last appointment!

Have you been recommended any other supplements other than 5mg folic acid?

Also, a bit of a general question for others on here too - which thermometers would you recommend? And apps? I use ovia but my predicted fertile window is always off by a week at least! X

@Kah09 I'm on the folic acid and I've been on metformin for a few months as well as insulin but I've started taking Pregnacare supplements off my own back too.

My blood sugars were actually really good when pregnant with my son. Basically I just gave myself loads of extra insulin when I ate!!

So symptom spotting has reached its peak, even though logic dictates that there will be no symptoms 😂 still have a week till im due to do a pregnancy test according to ovia. Trying not to convince myself of anything either way, as I've started getting a thick white discharge, much like hand lotion which I've never had before... I'm keeping everything crossed it's a good sign and not just my body prepping for AF. How's everyone else feeling? Xxx

Not too bad I'm planning to test in the morning but not very hopeful as had sore boobs and cramps all week. Af due sunday or Monday!

Ooo @Owlpatrol I'll keep everything crossed for you, hopefully on Monday you will get your BFP! ❤️

So couldn't resist, did a first response, BFN, 6 or 7 days before my 1st missed day of my period - I'm hoping I'm just too early, as I my cycles not exactly regular... urgh, feeling so deflated, I knew I shouldn't have tested yet... :(

Poking my head in.. 7dpo here nothing special to report though. Good luck everyone
