Just checking in to see how you're doing with the 2ww... Obsessing yet? I know we promised to keep track of each other and make sure we weren't going crazy!
Any symptoms creeping in yet?

Soape · #2 March 30th, 2009, 03:24 PM

I'm trying SOOOOOOO hard not to obsess but it's becoming really hard to not. I've never had post o temps like this before. It seems to good to be true. I'm waiting for my temps to plumet. I've had the cramping which is the same thing I had the cycle I got pregnant before. Other than that nothing. The only two symptoms that I had the last time was the cramping and then two days before I tested I was really tired.

How are you????? Are you having any symptoms? Do you have a policy on when you POAS? I usually say that I won't POAS until I'm due to start AF if my temps stay up.

Try to stay positive!!! It's half the battle! I am praying so hard that this is your sticky bean working it's way in deep for the next 8.5 months!!! You really deserve this!!!!

I'm trying my best not to obsess... I just need someone to tell my boobs that it's FAR too early for them to be hurting. Since Saturday, they have been really strange. If they have hurt in the past it's usually a day or 2 before AF shows, but it's just so early now.

I am a self proclaimed POAS Pansy. I just hate seeing those stupid stark white negative tests, so I generally don't test. If, my body gives me some reasonable signs, I might test this cycle. I got a good deal on some FRERs. But I'll have to play it by ear. I should know either way by Monday. Hopefully we'll both be seeing some nice BFPs soon!!!

Note to boobs....it's tooo early to be feeling strange...signed Amanda's chart. I've always been a pansy to test. My theory has always been that no matter what if you are not pregnant AF will always show and then you'll know. I'm trying really hard to stick with that mentality.

snsgirl336 · #5 March 30th, 2009, 08:52 PM

HA HA HA Thanks for the note to my boobs! I hope it helps!
That's a really smart mentality to have as far as testing... it saves a little sanity and a lot of money!

Soape · #6 March 30th, 2009, 09:00 PM

I'm not sure about the sanity part right now...but it does save on the money which is super important to me.

Both of your charts look good!!! I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

snsgirl336 · #8 March 31st, 2009, 09:34 AM

Yeah Amanda... saving money is key these days!!!

Thanks Megan!

I'm so frustrated...A storm woke me up numerous times last night. I was never asleep for more than 2 hours at a time so I was not able to get a temp today. I'm working tonight so I won't be getting one in the morning either.

snsgirl336 · #10 March 31st, 2009, 10:28 AM

Oh man, that must be frustrating! Maybe someone is trying to tell you that you don't need to temp which might lead to less obsessing?!?!? I don't know! I'd still probably obsess if it were me!

I tried to not temp during this 2ww, but well, look at how well that went! I just have to roll my eyes at myself sometimes!

Soape · #11 March 31st, 2009, 11:41 AM

I said the same thing....it's just tooo hard not to. I know this weekend I'm working all weekend during the night so I wont be able to temp. I'm being forced by work not to temp. It will help that last 3 days before AF should be here....I will be too tired to obsess.

~*Jackie*~ · #12 March 31st, 2009, 11:56 AM

Good luck ladies!!!!!

ASH_M · #13 March 31st, 2009, 04:17 PM

Good luck to both of you ladies! Chris, my boobs have started to get sore early this time too - maybe it's a good sign for both of us. Here's hoping...

I hope that will help make the 1ww go by that much quicker for you! I seriously am amazed at how hard it is NOT to temp!

It is really hard. Because it's just so easy to fin out what your temp is doing by just taking a few minutes. I can only do it when I'm forced to step away from the BBT

snsgirl336 · #16 March 31st, 2009, 08:21 PM

And to think a year ago I didn't ever want to temp cause I thought it was too involved and too stressful! LOL.. Now I'm stressed if a temp is missed or taken too early or late! Oh how the times have changed!

Soape · #17 April 1st, 2009, 12:10 PM

I couldn't help it....I had to temp even though it's not even remotely the right time....But it was after atleast 3 hours of sleep and it still stayed up.

Yeah I thought the same thing....but there is so much to learn about your cycle when you do. I hope your doing ok today. Any obsessing?

snsgirl336 · #18 April 1st, 2009, 01:01 PM

I don't blame you Amanda.. I probably would have found a way to temp too... even if it were going to be slightly inaccurate!

I'm doing ok today... though if DH doesn't stop hitting my boobs by accident I'm not going to be held responsible for my actions!

Soape · #19 April 1st, 2009, 01:06 PM

LOL. I can see the headline now....."Husband gets beaten to a bloody pulp for accidentally hitting his wife's boobs during the 2WW... Court rules it 2WW mental insanity." DH did that when I was pregnant. It's like there's a magnet in them.
