I try to put it out of my mind, but sometimes it doesn't work. Case in point, completely obsessed with my chart today. I made myself get up and leave the computer and made a fun treat for an upcoming holiday party (pics coming in just a minute!)... Just hang in there
I liked yesterday's posts because it helped me. One poster said that we are always waiting, waiting for O, waiting to test, waiting, waiting. So with that in mind, I went to a new exercise class, got a "Oprah" book club book from the library, and called an old friend for some non TTC talk and pottery painting.

The only reason I haven't gone nuts this 2WW is because my semester is ending and I have been crazy trying to finish everything up. Otherwise, I'd be a maniac.

That's true, we're always waiting, I think this week is going to be the hardest, next week with Christmas coming and holiday parties, I'll be pretty distracted, or at least I hope so.
I don't know...the 2ww is kind of old hat for me now so I don't even think about the "what if" factor until I hit double digits. I spend most of my 2ww calculating when AF will show and what good time/event she could possibly ruin.
This endometrin is driving me nuts though, I should buy stock in always pads.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
I've got to admit, the 2WW is pretty simple for me. It's waiting to O that's the killer in my case. After that I feel like it's such a relief that I actually Od.
Good luck Mey!!! I hope you get a BFP for Christmas!!!

I know, I'm a huge dork. I'm actually trying to distract myself with the gym and reading. If I feel like looking at my chart for the millionth time I'm just going to read a chapter instead

Maybe we should all try a different approach.. like maybe we all take one or two days at the most during the 2 ww to endulge our worries, our fantasies..and our hopes.. if we wanna test 10 xs a day then on this appointed day we are allowed.. then that should free up our brains for the rest of the wait that hopefully will end with a BFP!
Yea, I'm pretty nuts too (see my post from yesterday about whether I should test on Friday...as in 11DPO). I broke down and bought the VIP FF and have spent a good portion of my day looking at the chart gallery and alternating between being certain I'm KU and certain I'm not. Ugh...since I'm fairly new to this process, I commend all the regular/longer-term GPers for their amazing stamina, patience, and sanity! I admire you ladies (including you, mey!)!

I try to focus on a new hobby or new project (like right now we are doing our backspash in our kitchen and I am working on xmas cards). That helps a little...but honestly...I still analyze the heck out of all my symptoms and temps anyway.

I am not to sure how to not go nuts< I am in the two week waiting as well...
I am going to bake and shop... try really hard not to think about it. Good Luck.
I'm with you. I'm only on CD10, but I'm still anxious.
I don't know...the 2ww is kind of old hat for me now so I don't even think about the "what if" factor until I hit double digits. I spend most of my 2ww calculating when AF will show and what good time/event she could possibly ruin.
