It did make AF a little easier this time around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-260184 Wed, 15 Aug 2012 20:58:10 +0000 JennKam 260184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to schedule something fun or productive on the day Af is set to arrive, that way I can always have something to look forward to or something to distract me. This month: hair cut. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-204208 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 08:52:14 +0000 MsLipGloss 204208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: lol @ *big fat liar* . . . that's totally how I felt. that's why I shopped. I figured I would only ever get pg after I had decided it wouldn't happen without medical intervention. it worked like a charm (on cycle 5 - last cycle before going to fertility specialist) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-204041 Thu, 28 Jun 2012 06:09:04 +0000 sslm 204041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good tips on here!! I'm in the waiting to ovulate phase which I find just as tricky. I try to keep busy as best I can! My job is very boring right now so it's hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203979 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 22:52:44 +0000 Grace 203979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, this is cycle 6 and I'd say that for the first 4 cycles, I was not good at distracting myself at all. I'd symptom spot like crazy and I would go insane. Now that time has gone by, I've debunked almost all of my so-called pregnancy symptoms. I've decided that my body is a big fat liar and not to be trusted. I know this doesn't work for those of you that like to keep positive, but I tell myself that I'm not pregnant. That way, I don't start to go crazy until 11 or 12 dpo, and then the cycle is almost over. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203680 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:32:10 +0000 pastemoo 203680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got good at it. I read a lot of romance novels. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203659 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:20:08 +0000 MsLipGloss 203659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I shopped online. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203657 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 17:18:09 +0000 banana 203657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always symptom spotted too. It was horrible! I just couldn't get my mind off of it, no matter what I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203098 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:47:38 +0000 singingbee 203098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do what pp have suggested. The last TWW I had that ended in pregnancy was right before thanksgiving so I didn't even realize I was in the TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203089 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:44:18 +0000 Running Elley 203089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always planned out the whole 2 weeks until testing day lol. I’d make sure I had something to look forward to/planned for every day (even if it was dinner and a movie with DH or taking a picnic lunch to the park or a bikeride in the evening). I also made to do lists and it helped the time go by faster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203087 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:42:54 +0000 meaganceleste 203087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Totally. I've googled my way into so many worst-case scenarios, its not even funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203082 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:40:49 +0000 Smurfette 203082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meaganceleste: Google is the devil at times </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203057 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:21:22 +0000 meaganceleste 203057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My last few cycles, my TWW has coincided with my busiest weeks at work, but my cycles are ~40 days, so now my TWW is falling during my least busy weeks and all I do is Google symptoms and its not good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-203013 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 10:01:25 +0000 savanarunner 203013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like you I'll be on vacation for part of my first TWW! I guess try and keep busy and try to keep my mind excited rather than anxious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-202993 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:43:13 +0000 Smurfette 202993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whatever I can do to keep busy! Trying to not symptom spot this time. We will see how I do only 2DPO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-202983 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:34:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 202983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just tried to keep busy, I went to dinner with friends, cooked bigger/more elaborate meals, we went for drives/walks at night, organized rooms and drawers and closets, anything to keep my mind off of counting the hours/days of when I could test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-202981 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:34:24 +0000 MamaMoose 202981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did get good at this. I symptom spotted and obsessed : ) I tried to make lots of plans but then there was the stress over whether you should drink or not if you were going out and it only kept you distracted for a couple hours any way!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-202979 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:32:57 +0000 Alivoo01 202979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually try to keep busy also. Nothing's worse than sitting around symptom spotting to drive you nutso! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-dodid-you-do-to-survive-the-tww#post-202956 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:19:29 +0000 Mrs. Blue 202956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What was or is your trick for making the TWW go by quickly without becoming overly obsessed?</p> <p>A vacation this time worked nicely, but obviously that won't happen every time. I'm planning on starting some bigger home projects at the beginning of my TWWs, to give myself something else to focus on. </p>
