10. Analyzing every ache and pain in my body
9. Time seems to stand still
8. DH asking me how I'm feeling hoping I'll give him pg symptoms
7. Everyone asking with that little grin "is there a reason your not drinking".
6. Having anxiety every time I go in the bathroom
5. Examining the toilet paper looking for the faintest hint of red (please tell me I'm not the only one who does this).
4. Actually seeing that little bit of red!
3. Pregnancy symptoms, medication side effects and AF about to come signs can all be the same!
2. Did I mention time stands still?
and the # 1 thing I hate about the 2ww....
When it doesn't even take 2 weeks and AF comes to ruin everything!

I have one more week to go. I am praying so hard this one ends with a BFP. Feel free to add to this list!

I love the 2ww! One thing I don't like though, is when I'll say something about being bloated or hungry or about a pain I have and DH will say, "That's because you're pregnant." I know he's thinking positive and all but when I'm only 3 DPO he doesn't quite understand that that's too early to be having pregnancy symptoms.

I am sooo with you........ 4 more days for me.........

I hate every cramp that could be anything.......
and all the symptoms i am sure i am imagining but i can't help it........

Ahopper 11/21/2008

I have to say that I use to hate and dread th 2ww, that is until I met CarrieDawn. She taught me to relaz and enjoy it, because it is the only time in your cycle where you could be pregnant. I spent my last 2ww plannng different things to do and saying positive. It might not be for everyone, and it isn't easy the entire 2 weeks but it honestly makes it easier. Thank you CarrieDawn!!!

I've been feeling very down today, but when I read your list I laughed out loud, because it is SO TRUE!!!
One more thing I'd like to add is when my DH says I need to "just forget about it". I've tried to explain to him that its easier for him to say that because it is not his body that is disappointing him, or that holds the symptoms we are anticipating.
Thanks for humor!!

how could you possibly leave off the list the most importiant one??? I hate not being able to have sex, that is my stress reliever and lets just say it isn't pretty after a couple days. the time of life i am most stressed and can't do anything.

deleted_user 11/22/2008

I hate all the waiting and wondering. Why I'm peeing so much. Why I'm overly hungry. Is it all in my head crap? 4 more days for me.

deleted_user 11/22/2008

I just had to add

every hpt that is negative........ It makes you wonder well is it just not yet or is that it......... is it really negative?????????

GOD I HATE NEGATIVES

i agree with carriedawn. now, i've only had one 2ww LOL but it wasn't that bad. i'm eagerly anticipating my next one which will hopefully be starting by monday or tuesday. :) like Ahopper said-it's the one time in your cycle you could ACTUALLY be pg! :)

deleted_user 11/26/2008

LOL! just found this post. Hysterical.As i'm heading into my 2ww with weird symptoms, I'm trying to make sense of it all. Parothead is right-let's add the no sex on there...what a killer.

So far, feeling cramping and peeing alot. I hope these little guys can't fall out during a pee, why do I keep checking the tissue then?

nikkinash08 11/26/2008

Whats with the no sex????? I have never heard of that and i still have sex. Shold we not be doing it?

deleted_user 11/26/2008

So there with you on this one!

(said as I enter the 2ww)

deleted_user 11/26/2008

That list is so on the money. Especially #10, and #5 for me. I am a freak during 2ww!

deleted_user 11/26/2008

lol oh man i laughed so had cause i so do all that stuff. Lol at the tolet paper.....guilty.....is that a cramp...oh maybe thats morning sickness... We need to make a 2ww club lol membership requirements........must be an over obsesive hormonal woman waiting for the bfp lol

deleted_user 11/26/2008

wait a minute- why no sex during 2 ww??

i actualyl am the least stressed during the 2ww - nothing leftt to do & no more tests.... I wish it would take even longer for the dispointment to come:(

deleted_user 11/26/2008

if you are doing IVF absolutely no sex, sorry TMI but women are not allowed to have an orgasm by any means, during the entire 2ww and sometimes longer if you get a BFP
