How many times do you...

1. Stare at your chart in the 2WW?
2. POAS?

I am going crazy...

1. Wow. Way too many times a day to even count. During our most recent cycle, DH made me promise to only look at my chart once a day because it was just making me crazy. It did help me calm down a bit.

2. I restrained myself with POAS, and only tested once I was sure I would get a fairly accurate answer (12 dpo). I just hated seeing that BFN.

Good luck getting through the 2ww. It's brutal.

I am usually pretty good the first week of the 2WW, I don't obsess too much. But ummm the second week is hell. I look at my chart all the freaking time and tend to pee on too many sticks. Whoops. I am only 8DPO and I am going nuts, just 6 more days.

12DPO sounds like a good time! I am so ready to do it now though!

I was so bad about it when we were trying for William. T used to hide the sticks from me and wouldn't give me one unless I told him AF was late. This time around, he asked me to not chart for a couple of months because of how nuts it made me.

DH and I decided that we would take a break from charting in the next cycle.. Although I am fairly sure I will want to chart anyways.. Here's hoping there is no next cycle and we don't have to worry about it!

 I am going nuts! I want to just keep POAS until I know! Clearly I am losing my mind!

You're not losing your mind! Totally normal to obsess!  Lol but yes, the second week is HE!l for sure

This is my first cycle charting in a while, but last month I POAS four times even though they were all BFN.  I am really going to try and restrain myself from now on.

 I might not be able to hold out myself!

1. 2.5 zillion times a day

2. If MF is bad, 2-3 times a day. You know, in case the previous test was a "dud". Otherwise once EOD.

FX for you!

I stare at my chart constantly. During the 2WW, I keep it open in a new window. I stalk charts that look like mine (via FF). I'm a chart whore.

I TRY not to POAS until 12DPO, but it almost never happens. I will not pee on a digi or FRER until I have a positive IC.

This is my first cycle really charting. I look at it A LOT now and I haven't even O'd yet. AND I just bought a pack of 25 test strips. My 2WW this time might be pretty interesting considering I have never had a chart to stare at and I have a whole ton of things to pee on. Oh my.........
