Does anyone drive themselves crazy in the 2ww?

missy123 · #1 May 30th, 2009, 06:59 AM

So AF is due on Wednesday (June 3). I am a poas addict to begin with so it doesn't make this any easier.

Do you drive yourself crazy in the 2ww? Last night I tested again and got the slightest 2nd line, like if I posted a picture you would not have noticed it. This morning I tested BFN. I have been sick to my stomach for the past 2 days - like early morning sickness. My bb's are slightly sore, I have cramping.

So it could be AF on her way... Or it could be my body out of wack because of the D&C or it could be that precious + I am hoping for. Can I just be wanting to be pregnant so bad that my mind is playing tricks on me? Am I being overly obsessed and just driving myself crazy? Am I the only one or is this something others have gone through?

Thanks for listening.
Have an awesome weekend ladies.

Missy, I found you! Your driving me nuts now

A couple more days, and we will know! Sometimes you get better resluts at night, I know I did last time! Hang in there girl and test in the pm, I will be waiting!

Um, yes! I have had some crazy-real IPSs in the last few 2WWs. POAS like nobody's business. I hope this is it for you though!!!

I am driving myself nuts now...

I think I am keeping First Response in business right now. Maybe I should just keep playing with the internet cheapies I bought - I have like 40 of them left... I could test every hour for a few days lol...

I hope you are having fun at the summer house and give Missy the cat a big hug for me! Or some cat treats or something...

I am thinking I may fold this huge a@@ pile of laundry I have laying on both of my couches in the livingroom - that should keep me busy all day, lol.

Yes, man of us go crazy in the 2ww like you are describing. I am a poas addict, too! I say test again this PM and take a picture so that we can obsess with you! I'm hoping this is it. Good luck (with the your hpt AND the pile of laundry

)

AF is due on june 3rd for me as well and I'm also driving myself nuts. I always start POAS way too early as well. I just hope this is it for me. My last pregnancy happened on the 2nd cycle trying and this is my 2nd cycle trying since my m/c, so fingers crossed for both of us! Hope June 3rd is AF free!

I try not to think about it too much, but it's hard. I usually break down and POAS from 10dpo. Good luck and hopefully that faint line wasn't a fluke!

KDD · #8 May 30th, 2009, 10:06 AM

I don't know what is worse, waiting to O, or the 2ww! I tend to scrutinize every twinge and "symptom" during the 2ww.

Kary♥RN · #9 May 30th, 2009, 11:00 AM

Yea... I usually start on day 7dpo for testing.... YES I KNOW WAYYYYY TO EARLY!... But I really can't help my self!!!! CRAZY!!!!! I KNOW!!!

HarpersGirl · #10 May 30th, 2009, 06:08 PM

Im right there with yas in the 2ww, but I cant poas cause Im el cheapo lol I have one in the bathroom and I havent touched it yet... but doesnt mean Im not thinking of it! I could have sworn I heard it at 7am calling my name... is halusinations (spelling) a symptom of pg or oc? lmao

szczepanski · #11 May 30th, 2009, 06:22 PM

This is exactly why I use the internet cheapies. You can pee and pee and pee until you can't pee no more for a fraction of the cost.

What I will do is pee in a cup, dip the cheapie in it and wait the 5 minutes for a line. If I see a line....dip a FRE in it and see if I get the precious 2nd line...and if I do....dip a digi...and if I get the digi...its happy dance time. Just an idea to keep the cost down!

And GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

AF is due June 6th for me. This cycle I'm trying to avoid over thinking. It's not easy! I have made a promise to myself not poas until at least the 7th of June. I got my hopes up to early last cycle and then AF showed. good luck everyone!!!

photogmama · #13 May 30th, 2009, 07:55 PM

No, you are not alone, I almost posted asking the same thing just yesterday! I even find my self NOT doing things during 2ww, like I went to the waterpark the other day and decided not to ride ANYTHING just in case, now how rediculous is that?

mum74 · #14 May 30th, 2009, 07:59 PM

I definitely obsess but I try not to test! (failed last cycle and tested once). it's just too disappointing to see the bfn that i think i'd rather wait for af or....hopefully until I'm late!

missy123 · #15 May 30th, 2009, 08:00 PM

ok. I am feeling a little better knowing that we all drive ourselves crazy and it isn't just me! I don't know how you girls do it who don't test until after AF... That is some super willpower right there!

Kelty - I didn't do my laundry but I did play with pictures and scrapbooking today so that was lots of fun

MrsB - Let's hope AF stays away for both of us!!!

Trish - I am only 7DPO so I am worse than you. lol

Kimberly - I am overanalyzing every little thing. That is the worst part of me driving myself crazy right now.

Kary - I am right with you - 7DPO and can't help but keep testing. FRER must love us!

Donna - Kudos to you, I can't hold off from testing like that

Heather - Do you ever get a false (very faint) positive with the internet cheapies? That is where I got my ever so faint + last night. FRER this am was negative as well as 2 more internet cheapies

Aimz - you are also amazing holding off on the testing.

Laura - I am doing the same thing. I bought caffeine free soda today just in case. I really need to stop this

Lenore - I feel ya on the seeing a BFN and being disappointed. I am just so impatient and impulsive that I can't control myself - it is like I am in a trance m-u-s-t p-o-a-s

STAY AWAY AF! Please

The boys and I are off to Brooklyn tomorrow to see a friend so that should be fun and keep me busy... 4 days to go...

Thanks Ladies - you all rock!

HarpersGirl · #16 May 31st, 2009, 10:23 AM

I just have to say you have an awesome personality!! I smiled reading your last post, which I needed today lol

szczepanski · #17 May 31st, 2009, 06:12 PM

Missy you are so funny.

I never got a false on the cheapies.....I got a VERY faint line and then I tested later in the day with a FRER and got 2 pink lines!

missy123 · #18 May 31st, 2009, 07:42 PM

Awww, you ladies are so awesome! I am happy to report that I am finding myself again after the loss and I think it is starting to show again in my posts. I am out of that foggy state and my depressed sad days have turned into moments. Not to discredit my feelings about it all, just that.... Well lets just say Horray for happy feelings.

I think I am out. I think all the symptoms I have been having are the flu. My boys ever so graciously gave me the flu. I have been in bed all day with a fever.

If this isn't my month, we will just need to keep practicing!

Thanks for all of your support, I will continue to drive myself crazy and you all as well

charm · #19 June 1st, 2009, 04:26 AM

I am a 7dpo also I am embarassed to say and with OPK's I start testing early also
Just incase I O early it's always just incase and for my sanity lol!!!! Living in 2ww incriments is sucky

TOTALLY! I used FF to determine ovulation, and we only had sex once during the fertile period, so now I'm convinced we didn't do it enough and won't get pregnant. I wish my ovulation was more predictable.
