how do you stay patient?

Hi all! First month trying...we are so full of excitement and are really looking forward to this whole process. We are now post ovulation (even though my ticker is messed up). We had been charting BBT as part of NFP for awhile and have finally decided that we are ready to try. Anyway...this time between ovulating and waiting to see if it worked it so frustrating. How do you stay patient? I know its rare to achieve on the first try, but I'm definitely going to need some advice over these next months of waiting...thanks everyone!

    Welcome.  No one feels patient all of the time in this process.  But mostly I find I'm patient because I have to be.  Things will happen as they happen and there isn't much I can do to make them occur differently.  Stress and TTC don't necessarily mix well.  Good luck to you.

    Unfortunately, unlike deciding to go to the store and get a new outfit, it's not really up to us to decide when we get pg! So you really don't have much choice in the matter - either try to stay patient and don't let yourself be stressed, or be impatient and drive yourself crazy if it takes longer than a few cycles.

    I've yet to figure that out. I'm on cycle #6, and while some days I will be calm and not think about it too much, most days I'm completely obsessed!

    Welcome, and good luck to you!

    How do I stay patient? I overwhelm myself with work to do so I don't think about it. It's hard, but that's the best way I can keep my mind from obsessing about it every minute.

    DH says I'm the least patient person he knows. I try to keep myself busy with other things, but obviously I'm here right now so that doesn't work too well. To answer your question, I haven't been able to.

    Name of the game, right?

    I pass time by spending HUGE amounts of my day lurking on the bump Embarrassed

    Cycle three should be winding down soon... and amazingly I have managed to wait until testing on 14 DPO both cycles. Patience is not usually my strong suit, its surprising I have this kind of self-control. Partially by lying to myself about phantom symptoms and partially by not having any tests around Big Smile

    I'm totally with you, ErinBella. Checking this message board obsessively has helped...but I haven't learned the secret  yet so if you do let me know! This is our first cycle too and the thought of having to wait another month every time it doesn't work is daunting!

    thanks for posting this question - I'm finding it hard to concentrate on anything BUT the fact that we're TTC.

     Cycle #1 and the 2WW are absolute torture! I wish your nipples turned green or something the moment you got KU so you knew right away!
