which do you find worse...

... the two weeks (give or take) leading up to Ovulation or the 2 weeks (give or take) after Ovulation?  

For me it is the two weeks leading up I find these days move so slow.

    I hate waiting to O. I'd rather have the 2ww any day.

    After.  I have a horrible time even waiting to POAS past 8dpo.

    The 2WW drives me into insanity.  Especially now that we are seeing an RE and they schedule a pregnancy blood test so I have a date I stare at on the calendar.  I have yet to make it to one of them (always get my period before).

    The 2ww.  But, the cycles when I have the possibility for anything to happen are those when I am on so many meds and monitoring, you don't really have much time to think about things until you are waiting for the result.

    After!  I feel like in the 2 weeks leading up to O we can be proactive and contribute to the results.  The 2ww is just plain waiting, and waiting ... and waiting.

    The 2ww is much worse for me.  Leading up to ovulation I am at least DOING something proactive to get pg with all the shots, monitoring, etc.  As soon as the IUI is over though...NOTHING.  Ugh.  Plus the time it takes me to ovulate, especially on meds, is always much shorter than my luteal phase.  This cycle for example I triggered on CD9.  I'm now on day 13 of my 2ww knowing that I probably have several more days to go!  I'm going crazy just wanting to know either way!

    For me, the 2ww goes so slow.  And that's the time when my emotions go out of whack the most.

    For me, it's the 2nd week of 2ww.  The fist week I'm kind of optimistic.  The 2nd is just complete anxiety followed inevitably by disappointment.  I also get EXTREMELY stressed out right around O time that something will happen & I won't be able to have the IUI, or there will be a huge snowstorm, DH will be traveling, etc.

    Definitely after.

    When we were trying w/o meds I would get frustrated when I ovulated late (like, day 23 or 24). But now that it's more predictable it's the TWW that kills me.

    2WW - I feel like the first 2 weeks go fast (with part of the time being my period) and I am filled with renewed hope.

    The last 2 weeks....go soooo slllloooowww. Every single day.

    This is exactly how I feel! I hate feeling like I'm just sitting on my hands with no way to "help" the process.
