I'll be in it starting tomorrow....but last time I passed the time by POAS every 3 hours...I do not recommend it!!
I refuse to POAS again until I'm sure it will be positive. I will be waiting for AF to show and I'll test if she's a few days late I do not want to see another BFN!
Adopting after multiple rounds of fertility meds and 3 failed IUI's
I am totally not a POASer. I am just going to live my life normally. Once I go back to work on Thursday, I am going to be extremely busy so I am sure that will help pass the time.
For me, the worst part about it is the twinges, cramps, and overall feelings that you get down there that drive you insane. Oh and the constant toilet paper checks....I guess I won't be living my life that normally haha!
GOOD LUCK to everyone!

Our out of nowhere, surprise DD born 5/29/2011
I am! Not sure when I am going to POAS. I painted a bathroom today, I am crocheting an afghan for our bedroom, and I am making sure I am walking at least 10,000 steps!
The pregnant until proven otherwise is what I keep saying to my DH when he asks when our next IUI will be! He travels and has to work around me! I tell him we aren't having one because we won't need it!
Me! Beta is on Monday so I'm about half-way through. For my first IUI, I POAS and got a positive result - but my beta was very low and ended up with a CP. So, this time I'm vowing now to POAS...I can't deal with that up/down again....we'll see if I make it!
I am! I'm passing the time by helping one of my guy best friends and his girlfriend understand and cope with their new pregnancy. He's 22 (10 years younger than me), she's 21, and it was an accident (condom fell off). Normally, something like this would drive me absolutely nuts b/c of my own situation, but I love them to pieces, and he is absolutely thrilled. The sweet thing is that he checks every day to see if my IUI worked. I'm feeding off his happiness for the time being!
TTC #1 since 7/08
After 3 years, 2 losses, 3 rounds of IUI, and one round of IVF, we finally have our dream come true!

This exactly! Im too scared to poas...although I say this now but im not sure how I will feel buy the end of next week.
You know...I just realized that I am actually in the 2ww! I've never made it to this point in the past!
I triggered on Friday, 4/30/10....I go in for my progesterone test on Monday 5/10/10....
At this point, I'm hoping to get good results on the 10th....then I will start obsessing on when to start POAS... No IUI or IVF here....just TI...I'm super hopeful....this is the first cycle to actually get to the point of triggering (and I don't O on my own....so this is a big thing!)
I'm towards the end of my 2ww. It's our hail mary cycle before IUI and AF is due within the next day or two.
I've been passing the time by just trying to live life normally. I've tried to keep busy with spending time with DH and friends/family, etc. Of course I've been completely distracted while at work and have gotten very little work done.

My beta is tomorrow. I bumped a lot. During the 2ww I discovered the what's cooking board and lurked there. I found a ton of new recipes. I read a lot of blogs and watched tons of tv. I had my dog sit on my belly. I figured it's like a chicken sitting on eggs and keeping everything warm in there. hmmm.....that's about it. Good luck to everyone in the 2WW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
