#14 is interesting....I never knew that! Too bad I am in for the night and did my shopping, or I would have added that to the list! Although I did have some last night!!

Not sure what I would add to that list....I am in my FIRST EVER 2ww!

Thank you for the post!

I will definitely do #14, #32 and #33 in my next 2ww. My first 2ww, I did #49 and got through two books! I was trying not to think about it so much that I obsessed over silly books. It still didn't take my mind off my 2ww one bit though.

Lately I've just been coming here - lurking and now posting.

Somehow I never look up infertility/PCOS sites during the first two weeks - then after ovulation I start looking at them more and more, only to taper off when AF comes.

In fact, if you graphed the time I spend on sites like this one, it would look a lot like my BBT chart!

Dumb question-- does 2ww stand for 2 weeks waiting?

Also #22 -- I changed to weak instant coffee and I only drink a little actual mug of coffee a day whereas I used to drink a 12 oz thermos type mug of drip coffee every single day. All of my lattes come in either decaf or (rarely) half caff. Also I never buy diet dark sodas anymore -- only diet caffeine free sierra mist or 7-up
.
I have come a long way in reducing my caffeine intake!

Also #37 -- as if we would need practice after peeing on so many friggin OPKs! haha.

#50 -- been working on.

smeets88 · 08-08-2009, 12:44 PM

yes, 2ww=2 week wait.

tinklestarling · 08-08-2009, 01:26 PM

ladies just be careful with the pineapple as too much can cause uterine contractions and make you miscarry

rachael07 · 08-08-2009, 01:30 PM

hehe, glad y'all are enjoying this list

, I assume you meant me -- yes, I think I finally ovulated after the trigger shot! Yay!! First time since I went off the pill in Nov, that's for sure!

#53: invent new and creative ways to avoid using my abdominal muscles
#54: consider what my life would be like with twins

Rachael, thanks for putting this up! I'm going to need plenty to keep me focused during my first ever 2WW although I should be studying!

For you ladies I don't know yet, I triggered on Friday (1st injectable cycle on Gonal-f and HCG). I supposed that I O officially 36 hours later or early tomorrow and then the wait begins, but I'll POAS probably starting 10 days from tomorrow.
