Just curious which you girls think is worse for you. I know that the time of our cycle right NOW may skew your thoughts, but which is truly worse? Waiting to O (whenever and if that O comes & hoping to get some good BDing time in!) or Two week waiting (14 WHOLE days- FOURTEEN?)

Comments are welcome.

Edited for spelling. As usual.

I voted waiting to O. To be honest, I get myself more stressed out from now until I finally (maybe) O, and then I'm SOOO much more relaxed after it happens!

I'm with April & Jackie. I never know when I'm going to O, and by the time I do it's usually only a 1WW at that point so it is less stressful for me.

I would say waiting to O, because I don't think I've ovulated at all since I went off the pill 8 months ago. The tww will probably be torture too though.

I think waiting to O is worse because you always fear you'll have an anovulatory cycle....plus it's that much longer until you can test.....

2ww is worse for me. I can relax and let my body/clomid and the fertility clinic do it's thing waiting to O. Doctor's appointments every other day make the time fly by. But having to just sit and wait makes those 2 weeks after the longest 2 weeks EVER! Plus I have to use the progesterone for the 2WW which I don't really like.

W2O for me because stress can make it take longer and you never know when it will happen. The 2WW is set, so I feel more in control. I Oed on CD13 last month, but had to wait until CD22 this month! It was tough.

I'm going to say the 2WW because I always end up full of IPS and they play with my mind. I just find it very stressful. That and I love to have wine now and then..and on the 2WW I'm always so cautious about everything I put in my body.

Wow!!! The votes are pretty much split down the middle!! I'm glad I'm not alone in the W2O-isn't-fun club! But I know if I make it to a 2ww (finally) again, I'll think that's pretty stressful too!

Waiting to O here. It just takes so darn long! This month I O'd on CD19. Then I'll only wait 11 days to test, so technically not even a full 2 weeks.
