2WW & GTKY Poll

wordslikeswords

We all hate the 2WW. So what do you ladies do to keep yourself occupied?

I am mildly obsessed with Fallout 3, and it makes me not think about babies! Other than that, I'm forcing DH to take me to dinner and a movie lol.

So I guess this is also a bit of a GTKY. What do you all do for fun!?

LO I go crazy! I just posted asking for advice since I'm lossing it fast. I hope your 2ww goes by fast

I took up knitting. I can't think about anything else but the stitch count, so it's very relaxing.

I'm so jealous of this! I've always wanted to learn to knit or crochet but I can't find a good online guide. I'm amazed by knitters!

Immediately following my IUI, I go to Starbucks and get a decaf mocha coconut frappucino as my reward.

Then, I usually paint at least one canvas during the 2 ww and try to plan out something specific to do each day to kinda give a variation to the 14 days.  I feel like if you have something to look forward to day to day it helps the days go by without just counting down the 2ww.

I've been eating non-stop for the past couple of days.  It doesn't help that I pulled my back yesterday and can't really do anything else except sit on my a$$ in front of the tv/computer stuffing my face.  It's giving me lots of time to feel imaginary implantation cramping.  In reality, it's probably just constipation from all of the junk I've been eating the past few days.

I tried this but it turns out I suck at it   I've been working on a scarf for about 5 months.  It's not pretty.

I try to go on vacation or a weekend getaway! It really keeps my mind off of things

I'm 11 dpo and I am DETERMINED to wait till I actually miss my period to take a hpt, or else I will go nuts with all my testing!

I work so that usually keeps me busy during the day, but in the evenings I cook a nice dinner for me and hubby, we go for a walk, go fishing, go visit friends/family, have people over for dinner... I really pack my 2ww so I don't go CRAZY!!!

I have a free "learn to crochet" thing I will send you the link for! It's easy. Knitting I think is best learned in person, but crocheting you should be able to figure out from a guide.

I knit. I cook. I run. I have decided to try quilting. Anything but work. Work is where I cannot stay focused on anything to save my life.

I clean! its always a wait here though. I am either waiting to O which doesn't happen often or I am in the 2ww. If I actually ovulate it is much worse. I don't get to experience the 2WW very often. It's pretty obvious though because my house is insanely clean. You could eat off the floor in the bathroom. Gross I know but so true.

That would be great! I can always use a new hobby that doesn't drive DH crazy lol.

this is my first 2ww where i know things actually went right. its going to drag though b/c it starts today and my vacation starts the 18th. so getting some good advice here. i will be sure to start picking back up my hobbies. learning guitar from my hubby, cross stitching, reading. DH and i have started exercising together trying to push each other. he has been doing it by himself and i hate exercising. but i started out with our wii fit again. and i feel really good about it.

btw what is GTKY?

My DH bought me golf lessons. He said I needed a hobby lol. I think about my swing now than driving myself crazy with the "what ifs".... most of the time hehe

I have recently taken up sewing.  That has been keeping me busy...at least right now!  I also love to read and I might like TV a little too much!

mandalinn25

I knit, crochet, spin my own yarn, watch Netflix and play lots of Dragon Age 2 right now. Yes, I am a geekling.

I actually took a Knitting 101 class at my local yarn store (it's called ImagiKnit, fun). It was 3 1.5 hour session for $60. Totally worth it because knitting is actually pretty simple once you know how to do the two differnt kinds of stitches. Try it!

I split time in cleaning, reading my book, playing on the internet & watching TV.  But that's not the 2ww, thats all the time.  Oh and usually on Thursdays I visit with either my SAHM friend and her 2 year old or my friend who is a teach and off for the summer (Thurs. is my usual day off).

Could you send me the link too? I used to crochet all the time with my grandmother, but I haven't done it since I was a little girl and I'd love to take it up again,

I usually try to keep myself busy during the 2ww with lots of different things. Cleaning, cooking, baking, spending time with DH and pup! Anything to keep my mind of the 14 days following my IUIs!

I am trying to read three really long books in my 2ww

JellyBean616

Law and Order reruns and organizing my kitchen/pantry.

This should link to the booklet: https://www.crochetme.com/media/p/121245.aspx

It's really simple, with one page explaining the different stitches and then four simple patterns. If you ever get stuck, just look it up on you tube. They have some great tutorials.
