Anyone else starting the 2ww period?

[tv-ready]

I'm just starting the 2WW period, is there anyone else out there in the same boat?  I have to try and not be so anxious for the next 2 weeks.

So, u in your deadly 2WW!!
I think I am at cd6.  Monitor not reached yet, still waiting on it.  Will begin to test as soon as it arrives...

Right now I am siting at cd11. I am expecting for my monitor to peak any day now. Usually I peak between cd 10-12. Make sure you are also logging everything on a calendar, example requested pee test (cd6), went to 2 bars (cd7), Monitor peaked (cd10),  start of period (cd1) and note how many days are from the start of cd1 to the next cd1, this tells you how long your cycle is.

Good Luck

I just placed an order for my monitor and some sticks.... fingers crossed!!!

Where r u in ur cycle??

You will like using the monitor, it takes all the guess work out.  It only peaks if you are ovulating.

Good Luck.

yea, I guess it does get difficult with a baby (what do I know, this is my first time trying :-(

My husband will be going away (for his job purposes) for next few years (its not like we will not meet, but you can imagine how difficult its can get with two working professionals/busy schedules/flying distances and on top of that my uncertain ovulation which may not happen every month.... so, at this point, I am killing the intimacy part of this game for myself...

I am hoping that the monitor-thing will help me.  I only have few months before he goes, so hopefully I'll ovulate in these months (and I also know that even if everything goes as planned, chances of conceiving and taking it on from there is very less...)

I hate this process... its so long and uncertain, involves so many ifs and buts.... I just hate it.

but they say once I  have a baby, I'll forget all these.  I am relying on tht.

My husband and I both work, and have a daughter who is 5. We swich it up when we can, but that is not very offten.  I think I was taking the laying down for at least a half hour too seriously. Not an option when you are being intimate during the day, because it is usually spur of the moment and then you have somewhere to be.  Daycations are not really an option when you have a child of school age and weekends usually involve my daughter.  Yeah we get date nights, and the odd weekend away, but not enough to really bring your attention away from the fact that you are trying to get pregnant.  I think this will be the last month using the monitor.  What I meant by work, is that my monitor tells me when to be trying to concieve.  I am finding that that is ruining the Spontaneity of it all.  I think it is time to take the pressure off for a bit and just have fun agan.  I know that we all hate it when people say that but I am looking at it more in a intimate aspect than concieving aspect.
