brainstorm...2ww...

Ok- here are my thoughts of why the 2ww is so damn hard on us. The first 2 weeks of our cycles, we are doing all sorts of experiements- bbt chart, opk sticks, going to the RE's for bloodwork, U/S, giving shots, taking pills, counting days, scheduling IUI's, working things out with DH, checking CM, and baby dancing like mad........ we have no time to worry about the "what ifs". Not only that, but we are in CONTROL for those two weeks. Once everything is said and done- it's no longer up to us doing things right, it's up to the big man upstairs! We now must suffer through every twinge, tickle, tingling nipple episodes, blue vein appearances, etc. etc.... until we know the truth! I am only 1dpo- and I had this epiphany in the shower this morning. Thought I'd share and I am hoping I'm not the only one losing my mind here. BABY DUST to all!!!!!!

Along with all of you ladies in your 2ww- I am too. I am obsessed with surfing the internet I guess looking for an answer but I haven't gotten one yet! I had my IUI on 4-25 and I am not thinking very optimistic but I am trying to stay positive. I know your mind is a powerful thing and so is the man upstairs. Baby dust and god bless all the ladies in their 2ww!!!

right there too. today (5/2) is my 2dpo...and although there is nothing to do, but wait you notice things right away....all from the medication of course. you're not losing your mind...the only sane people in the world are those that can admit insanity.

I totally agree. I feel so control as long as I am doing something during a cycle. Once I have an ET, it is out of my hands. I have found that trying to fill my time as much as possible helps. Good luck!!

This is so true! When its b4 the 2WW and I"m busy keeping track of everything and then once the 2WW begins we have nothing to do but analyze every little thing! So I guess this upcoming 2WW I need to keep busy with something!
