TWW

So my last post was a little snarky, but this TWW kills me.

I get so so much doubt every time. And even though it's only 2dpiui I'm dreading the reality of this cycle not working. Even though everything looked perfect. TTC makes all of my worst emotions surface all at once.

How do you guys stay upbeat during the TWW, and what do you to pass the time?

I'd love tips to stay positive, as I'm struggling with this too!

I try to stay busy, and to not dwell on it. I find that making plans with friends/colleagues help, so I don't have time to just sit and think/doubt.

I am nearing the end of my first. .. I did wayyyy too many hpt too early so of course they were all bfn, stalked the bump, stalked my bbt chart, Googled EVERY thing that might be an early sign. I have been a nut for 12 days now.

Yea. The hardest part of the TWW is that DW WONT be taking an HPT. She's normally gets AF 9-11 days, but since she is taking progesterone, it won't show until AFTER she stops taking it, which she may not do until after her BETA on 8/19. That's the hardest part, I keep thinking we will know in like 9 days, nope. I'm just hoping for the sake of all my heart, this cycle works. I can't keep obsessing over every little thing.

I'm a super duper impatient person. So I kept doing creative math thinking I might be pregnant sooner if i was reading my chart wrong and so we kept testing. Every negative hit hard. So so hard even though I KNEW even if I was pregnant I was testing too soon to know. I still pouted each time. It is hard because even though this is our "first try" we have been planning, waiting, researching, looking for a donor, etc for about 3 years. So, ummm I really don't want this to take forever!
