2WW - I hate it.

Ugh, I hate this 2 WW.  We did our IUI one week ago and it is just killing me to know something.  What do you all do to keep your mind off of it?

    I got a faint positive on day 11 on my last pregnancy, so I am tempted to test tomorrow.   However, I didn't temp this month so I'm not sure if tomorrow is my true day 11.   It's so easy to torture yourself in this waiting period.   I hope the next few days pass quickly for us all.  And Heather - I'll be eager to see an update from you on Thursday!
    Me-41, Hubby-40.
    1st BFP-8/17/12!  Missed Miscarriage discovered @ 8 week US.  D&C.
    2nd BFP-2/13/13!  Blighted Ovum discovered @ 8 week US. Natural miscarriage.
    3rd BFP-5/22/13!  By early June, progesterone plummeting.  Another loss.
    August 2013 - started Donor Egg process, but surprise BFP with my own eggs.

    No, I don't think so.  BUT....cleaning out a closet or getting some clothes ready to donate or throw away is super.  Don't forget shoes!....and old nail polishes, and the jewlery box.....linen closet....you get my drift.  =)  Happy sorting! Smile

    I understand the wait...it is dreadful.  I am 6DPO, so I am right behind ya....

    I like the idea of a constructive list or maybe, some exercise, like walking.  But, it is just hard to keep the thoughts out of your head.  I know....Ugh!  :S   Lol...

    Best of luck and know that I have my Fx'ed for you!

    I'm right there with you. CD 8, looking at my chart multiple times a day (as if it's going to change), on a daily basis I'm hopeful, defeated, nervous, excited, or curious. I'm emotionally exhausted!!! 

    Shouldn't test until Monday. We'll see if I can hold out that long.

    Good luck to all!

    Oh, I am trying to hold off on testing too.  I may end up testing this weekend, if I can't last until Tuesday. 

    I swear I keep analyzing every little thing I feel and I am making myself nuts.  Thank goodness, I have been able to keep myself busy at work and trying really hard to keep busy in the evenings too.  It is just so hard being this intuned with my body and just wondering about it all the time.

     I hope everything works out for everyone here.  Hopefully lots of BFP's coming up for all of us!
