I really think there should be therapy for "google" - there is nothing quite like looking for every symptom and reading every person's experience ... and usually by 3pm you are beside yourself with confusion/anxiety.

Lollipop, I don't think there is any way to occupy your mind - I think we all stare at the clock, and watch the seconds literally crawl by and then reason with ourselves that we can just do a quick test ... and then reason again that we will be fine with the results ... no matter what they are ...... somehow we think there will be a release if we just take the test now ..........

Shame chick, hope the hours fly by as opposed to crawling by.

I have a letter from my pdoc to say I am insane, so tread lightly with me, some days I can be a total bitch. I'm lying. Most days I am a total bitch.

I abhor smiley face icons. Just saying.

lollipop the 2ww is the worst!

I know its very hard, but try not to symptom spot as it can be very dissapointing if AF decides to show up! And please dont test early, this can also lead to unneccesary heartache!

Good luck!

This is really tough. Google fertility issues. Trust me you become an expert!

Calculate the costs of a baby. You may wish the two weeks was longer!!!

Seriously I was so scared of falling pregnant despite being on fertility treatment that I couldn't bring myself to test. I am not sure why I handled it. Maybe I was very disconnected at the time. I also didn't chat on a forum at that stage which I think can give you much needed support but its not easy seeing all the baby talk.

I used to go and read on a site twoweekwait.com - and every single symptom matched.

Good luck and hope you get that 2 lines. :)

Lollipop, this whole ttc thing is waiting game;

Waiting to Ovulate, then tww, waiting for af to pitch if BFN. :)

I try not to do symptomspotting, because everytime i get a nasty surprise. All i try to do is, get some more work done, at the office, at home so my mind is busy and i dont have time to think - not that it works everytime :lol:

Holding fx for you. When are you suppose to test?
