How Do You Girls Do It?????

How do you go month after month doing this 2 week wait??? This is my first week, and I have had these annoying aching like my period is coming pains.. Not really pains but annoying twinges and it's ALL I think about.... I promised myself I wouldn't POAS until the 2 weeks is up, but it's the only thing on my mind..

For All of you who are have been going through this for so long, I give you so much credit... And I'm sorry for complaining after my first week....

Re: How Do You Girls Do It?????

I know it's so hard. try not to obsess about it. You have to find things to do or you will make yourself crazy overanalyzing every twinge and feeling.

Do anything...all the little annoying projects around your house, clean out your drawers, closets, basement, cabinets, drawers, whatever there is.

Don't know if you craft, but th eholidays are coming, make christmas ornaments, cards, gifts, etc.

the fall is a great time to plant and garden..

I don't know how I do it, I just do! (I'm really helpful!)

I try to stay busy with work during the week. I start reports early, I plan for weeks ahead, etc. During the weekend, I try to spend my time with DH - going out for dinner, making dinner, baking, shopping, movies, etc.

As far as symptoms go - I only look at symptoms that could not be attributed to anything else (and there aren't many of those!) I joke to DH that I'd only think I was PG during the 2WW if I ended up randomly throwing up! So if I'm crampy, I know that could be because AF is coming. If I'm gassy, it could be from something I ate. If I'm tired, it could be because I woke up early that morning or because I've been working extra hard. KWIM?

And, of course.. I spend my time on here!

Re: How Do You Girls Do It?????

try to occupy yourself with other things...read a new book, watch a movie...do ANYTHING other than think about this.... It's ALMOST impossible...

I find honestly that posting about symptoms or just putting them in my chart kinda gives me that - okay - i've DONE something with these feelings....as opposed to keeping them all inside and making myself feel INSANE...

have your glass of wine - you don't share a bloodstream with any unborn baby for awhile...don't stop living your life. That is the best advise you can be given...DO NOT STOP LIVING!!!!!!

You don't know how long this is going to take and you do not want to look back with regret of things you didn't do...

Re: How Do You Girls Do It?????

I really try to keep busy! I really try to not think about it and go about my normal routine.

Re: How Do You Girls Do It?????

Thanks Girls!!!! You were right! I ended up cleaning my Basement which took ALL day!!! And I was to busy to think of anything else! Then I had my glass of wine when I was done Your Girls are great! And so supportive... Thank You!!!!!
