TTC/charting confession

thegastons

Before I started with this journey, I used to read some of your posts and think you guys were C-R-A-Z-Y talking about how you would look at your chart often and then be anxious/impatient in between the day you O'd and either could test or wait for AF to show up.

So the real point to this post is I'm 5 dpo and I want the next week(ish) to go by quickly! I have zero patience and I need distractions from my mind... What did you guys do to distract yourselves during the in between time? You would think just having to go to work and school everyday would be enough, but.....its not

lol...welcome to the dark side. I was never really successful at distracting myself during the 2ww...good luck with that!

I'm in the 2ww right now too....10 dpo so I could technically test today but I'm out of tests, it's raining and Teagan is sick so I don't want to drag him out.  I could send my kids over to you for the afternoon.....I'm CERTAIN they would distract you LOL!!  Its sort of working for me anyway....

I would have a drink or two.  With this BFP I'd already convinced myself that it wasn't my month so I stopped testing.  On a whim I tested again at 18DPO and was shocked.  It was the only month I TTC'd that I didn't make myself crazy during the 2ww.

You could also get into a really great (long) book.  That always helps to take up time and distract me.  Good luck!

I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THIS!!! I am 9dpo and freaked out. Its our 2nd month with progesterone and I am a wreck. The worst part is that I am a teacher and off this week. Let me tell you my house is spotless, I have worked out every day, nails are done...what else?!??!! I want to wait at least till thursday to test. Ahhh!!!! I'm so glad to know I'm not alone. There needs to be a GTG group for us, "TTC and Nuthin' to do"

Thankfully (I guess) I'm at work and still have school (no spring break for me) I would seriously go nuts
