Cause I knew I couldn't have gotten preggo this cycle. About a week before I o'd, we found out about my DH's MFI. Dr said our chances of natural conception were less than 1%. So, for the first time in a LONG time, my life this month was not lived in 2 week increments. My days were not calculated by how many DPO I was. The greatest joy in waking was not so I could POAS. I did not spend $100 on HPTs like I have stupidly done on previous months. I did not look into every tiny hormonal, physical, emotional change and wonder if this *might* be a pregnancy symptom. When I was hot, it was because the room was hot, not because I was having hot flashes. When my tummy was bloated it was because I had too much dessert , not because a beanie might be in there. When I had to get up to pee, it was because I made the dumb mistake of chugging water right before bedtime.

I must say, it felt good to think about something else in the 2ww for a change. Talk about putting a positive spin on the situation, huh?

I agree with you though....too much TTC non-sense really does affect how you live your life, whether in the dreaded AF phase, the patiently waiting to O phase or the tortuous TTW phase. I'm so glad that you've enjoyed this TTC break and I hope that it's rejuvinated you and made you feel whole again!

It must be so nice to not be critical of everything your body does or doesn't do! As much as I try to stay relaxed and not over analyze things in the 2ww, It's nearly impossible for me!
Enjoy your stress free 2ww!!! Whoo Hooo!!!

Great positive spin. I hope this mindset helps you in the future cycles trying.

Proof positive that it helps to just take a break from all of this TTC business. It really can become overwhelming.

yea, sometimes i can't believe the amount of energy i put into ttc. i keep thinking "if i could only put this energy into something else" - i'm glad you realized there is a positive spin on not living in 2week increments. HUGS
