so the 1ww begins

While I'm leaning towards AF arriving in the next week, I can't help but hold out hope.

I've been mildly cramping for a couple days, had breast tenderness and no appetite. I don't usually have cramping until AF is here. Depending on which calculation I choose to believe, IF I O'd, I am anywhere from 5-12 DPO and since my cycles can vary from 28-35 days, I have another week until I even bother with testing.

So while I should spend the week relaxing and not thinking about things, instead I'm sure I'll do the following:

-over analyze EVERY pain/twinge and quirk my body goes through

-pick up that HPT a dozen times and put it down knowing it's just too soon to bother

-stare at my charts & graphs and wonder what on earth they mean if anything

-convince myself each pain/twinge & quirk is going to mean BFP come next week

I should try hypnotherapy...maybe have someone dangle a watch in front of me repeating "do not think about TTC" over and over. Like a bad movie.

Re: so the 1ww begins

I'm with you except I will ALSO look at other women's charts who get BFPs on fertiltyfriend and analyze how the curve compares to mine. I swear, we TTCers should be allowed to take off of work during the 2WW. I'm basically useless.
