How is your 2ww going (if you're in it)?

Topper30 · May 2010

I'm much more relaxed than I normally am. 6 dpo.

Right now I'm just enjoying my 2 y/o DD. I keep thinking, once I'm pg, I'm not going to be able to pick her up as much (I am short and get a big belly fast, and she's 33 lbs). I'll have less energy. I'm sure I will love a new child as much as her, but it's hard to imagine.

Good luck to all!

I have a lot going on in my personal life right now so I have been very distracted. Usually I am much more obsessive over my chart at this point.

Good Luck!

GL to you! I'm just starting the 2ww, so it's fine for me.... I've got lots of time before any phantom symptoms show up.

mbh10220 · May 2010

I'm only at 3DPO *again* (FF moved my CHs over a day, wasn't a suprise, but darn it anyways) but so far so good. I'm trying not to get my hopes up just because we just started TTC a few months ago and I really can't imagine it'll be THAT easy for us. But we'll see. Ask me again in a week and I'll probably be itching to POAS! LOL!

gbtc01 · May 2010

I am 12 dpo and I am anxious. Got a BFN this morning but still holding out a bit of hope. Will see what tomorrow brings.

pawcall · May 2010

it's my first 2ww, and I'm almost halfway through, and I haven't even been tempted to pointlessly pee yet. So I'm proud of myself.

AF is due at 15DPO, so really, there isn't even any need to test. Just you wait though. I'm sure I will pee on anything that stands still long enough, like a dog marking his territory, about 4 days from now.

barcelonagirl · May 2010

i'm 11dpo and nervous. i'm testing tomorrow but, i don't trust my temps cause i've been wearing a heat patch on my neck at night. ugh

Agrant5683 · May 2010

I am 10DPO today, and started spotting yesterday, along with temp drops. I would love AF to hold off until at least tomorrow so my LP is at least 10 days. I had a 12 day LP last month, so I hate that it seems like it will be shorter this cycle.

AppleMomma · May 2010

I've had 4 BFNs the past 4 days with FMU, and my temp spiked today (I'm on day 41, 17 DPO). I'm frustrated, I just want AF to get here now.

gorby007 · May 2010

hoping to officially (according to FF) enter the 2ww tomorrow. I put so much time and energy figuring out when I O'd so I'm thinking the 2ww might be easier than that!

grrr to ovulating on the later side- every small temp spike had me hoping!

If it's your first cycle charting, you don't know how long your LP will be or exactly what day AF is due. You can't really go off of past cycles, since you weren't charting and don't know how long your LP was. Does that make sense? However, you are right that if AF doesn't show up by 15dpo, you are pretty safe to test.

I am either 4 or 6 dpo (I vote 4), and so I have nothing exciting to report. I did *not* feel the sperm meet the egg, so I'm not really getting my hopes up. Wink

Looks like you did finally O! I hope your temp stays up tomorrow.

Yes, the "which is harder- waiting to O or the 2ww" discussion happens fairly often around here. I can argue for both, but I ovulate early enough in my cycle, that I find the 2 ww more stressful.

j_luvs_r · May 2010

I'm 12DPO, on my 4th day of spotting, and 2nd day of BFN's. I suspect I'll be starting Cycle #13 any day now.

True - since this is my first cycle charting, it could be a whole different ballgame. But before charting, I did always at least keep track on my calendar of when AF showed up and left, and it's always been pretty regular (and I've never been on hormonal bc), so I'm reasonably trusting of that AF due on 15dpo date, give or take a day or so.

I've also already decided not to berate myself for testing early. My peesticks only cost me about a quarter each (yay for internet cheapies) and unless I find that I'm seriously emotionally traumatized by BFN's, I'm going to let myself test whenever I want (within reason).

I'm a nervous wreck.

AimeeLee · May 2010

Its going way to slow. I need the days to pass more quickly... maybe I can keep myself busy and distracted this weekend though

tctibbe · May 2010

I'm a hot mess.....I got a BFN the other day and my RE wants to do blood test Friday for my next cycle. This is my first cycle with a 2ww and I'm driving myself and DH crazy. I need to just take a chill pill. Indifferent

mommajen8 · May 2010

i am very antsy this 2WW!! i want to pee on something now!!

JimsBride08 · May 2010

I'm pretty relaxed this cycle. If I'm pregnant, great. If not, I have a few more weeks to relax and enjoy life as a mommy of one.

itsmegin · May 2010

The best way for me to resist POAS is to just pee first thing when I get up and not test.

I know it's waaaaay too early to test and that FMU is the only chance I possibly have of getting any sort of result (though I don't think this early even that would help). If I waste my FMU, then I'm not tempted the rest of the day, if that makes sense at all.

fxz109 · May 2010

This is my 1st 2ww in 2 years, and I'm going a little batty. I'm going to test on Friday on our anniversary (I got my BFP with DD at 10 or 11 DPO last time), and then not until Tuesday if AF doesn't show.

I'm sure I'll be more relaxed next 2ww, but every little thing makes me think "maybe I'm pregnant!" but then I talk sense into myself and move along.

SC1977 · May 2010

I think I'm in it ??? I wasn't expecting to O so early in my cycle, so I'm not really sure if I believe that I'm in the 2WW yet. I've been very lax about checking CF, etc. this month so I have I think this cycle will be a total crap shoot.

melissar617 · May 2010

For some reason, I am feeling very antsy this cycle. I won't POAS for at least another week though. And I'm sure at that point I'll be spotting anyways, so it won't be necessary.

Citygirl1015 · May 2010

I'm totally bi-polar. One second I'm depressed and sad because I *know* I'm not pg. The very next minute I feel nauseous and have metal mouth, and I'm ready to POAS. I hope my chart tells me something decisive in the next couple of days.

MrsHteaching4life · May 2010

slow.as.hell.

pawcall · May 2010

I'm actually a little mopey just because I have nothing I can even vaguely consider a phantom symptom right now. I've never felt less pg in my life. But it's early. Could still happen...

BabyRN2006 · May 2010

Mine just started so I am doing good so far! We'll see what next week brings, lol
