I'm NOT a patient person!

So I'm 1 week into my 2 week wait. What do you ladies do to keep sane? This is only the 2nd time in nearly a year a half I have ovulated and it's hard not to get my hopes up!

    I've not had a 2WW yet, but I've been benched for a while and am also not a patient person since I have a date of when I'm starting medicated cycles (which can NOT come soon enough!). I do lots of cleaning, Netflix and cuddling with my pup.

    I try to put 110% into work, knowing that in the first half of the cycle I have lots of appointments and my mind is often elsewhere. I like to challenge myself to take as personalized care of every student as I possibly can, and catch up on communicating with their parents for good things as well as issues.Basically, give myself lots of work to do so to stay busy! And enjoy doing well at work, because that's not going to be the #1 priority once a baby arrives. :)

    The hubby and I have started watching Supernatural on Netflix and that show kind of gives me the creeps! Thanks for the suggestions, sometimes just knowing other people are going through the same thing (even though I wish none of you were) helps.

    I'm with @LindseyM2012 and I haven't had a 2WW yet.  I am, however, enjoying the suggestions hoping that eventually I'll get one!  I am a serious control freak so the fact that this whole process has so much waiting on things that are out of my control is pretty awful!

    I do find myself spending lots of time at the gym (watching netflix while there) or at yoga trying to clear my head of it all though.

    Me: 31 (PCOS) possible right tube issues DH: 36 (SA normal) 
    Started dating in 2006, Married 2012 
    TTC since November 2013 
    First RE visit due to irregular periods: June 2014
    Lap/Hysto to remove polyps, cyst and tube blockage 11/6
    Cycle 1 (Dec. 2014) TI with Clomid, Trigger, & Progesterone CX due to no response
    Impatiently Waiting CD1 to try again with Fermara Back on the bench due to giant cyst,
    who know I'd ovulate on my own after a cancelled cycle and end up with a mega cyst :(
    All Welcome
