Charting break for 2WW

lmj8284 · November 2010

I'm thinking about not charting during my 2WW. I will probably stop after 5DPO and maybe start again at 13DPO. Does anyone else do this? I'm hoping to relieve some of the crazy emotions I get staring at my chart everyday and stalking FF's chart gallery for charts like mine.

What are your thoughts?

I don't have it in me to do it.

I've been doing this a lot lately!

I plan on taking a temp break as well for the 2ww

I do. I started last cycle. I will probably temp at 14dpo just to see where I am, but that's it. I enjoy the break.

You're a stronger woman that I am. I would love to take some of the stress away but I don't think I could stop during the 2ww.

More power to you. After all, it won't change anything! Big Smile

After tomorrow I'm definitely taking a break from charting!

Did you find it hard to start back up temping this cycle after a break like that? That is my fear that I will have a problem adjusting back to temping Embarrassed

Not for me. I wake up at the same time I would temp anyways, so there isn't much of a difference except popping the therm in my mouth

Today is CD1 for me--and I am even cotemplating stopping charting alltogether.. Part of me wants to stop b/c I think I may be getting stressed about it subconsciously---but the better part of me-also wants to get KU SOON--I really want #2--besides me OB said to keep doing what I am doing (charting/temping etc) and if no BFP after the holidays---then to call so I can be seen... Sooo, having said that-I will keep charting but think stopping for the 2ww is a great idea.. i think i will do that.. that way I can stop analyzing everything too... And DH can stop laughing at me when he walks by me-and says (as he picks up thermometer from floor or bed) "hun, did you drop something-AGAIN?"

Good Luck!

I wish I could, but my chart is so erratic, I'd be afraid that I'd miss my window. If I had a more predictable cycle, I definitely would.

I'm been taking a break of sorts this cycle & have rarely bumped. I'm still temping & just writing it down on a notepad by the bed, but I haven't entered anything into FF yet. I'm planning to continue this through the 2ww (mine's actually a little less b/c I have a short LP) & hoping the holidays will make it go by quickly. We'll see if I can resist. Smile

I am planning to take a break temping during the 2 WW as well. I kept looking at my chart and comparing to other charts, but you can always find a "similar" chart that tells you what you want to hear. At the end of the day, I will know when AF arrives or doesn't. So, I think I will obsess far less.

Taking a little break during that 2WW is good for the nerves. LOL. I am now, or at least trying to. I always feel compelled though to do something.
