2WW

I’m now in my 2 week wait after my high and peak opk using Clearblue.

The thing is, it’s so hard to keep busy and not to sit thinking whether I’ve conceived or not. I literally feel like it’s taking over my life..

Does anyone else feel like this?

I think the 2WW is typically the way you described it, irrespective of whether it's a natural TTC or a clinically aided one. Well, some of the most common ways of distracting yourself from baby thoughts are ... chill with favourite movies, go out and take a stroll, binge on snacks, listen to good music and spend more time with SO to keep yourself from at least thinking about the "what ifs". The movie and the binge worked for me.... what worked for me might not just work for you still you can try. Just remember to not stress up during this time, neither physically nor emotionally. Sending baby dust!

Good luck,

Book a holiday or pretend too looking around the world at destinations you'd like to go to is a good way to keep your mind off it it, do some baking I love baking cook something nice, while he music's playing, go shopping or window shopping , find a good book to read and also what the lady above said,

Have girly nights in lunches out

It's a struggle when ttc waiting is the one thing that takes over ttc and being pregnant but you'll get through it one way or another, we're all here for you hun if you just need a chat.

Thank you, I definitely need to stay busy as my mind just wonders. I also have my youngest son too keep me busy, and god does he keep me on my toes 😃 x

I know the feeling how old is he bless him. Xx

[Hidden in reply to AllWeNeedIsluv]

He’s 28 months x

[AllWeNeedIsluv in reply to Hidden]

Bless him. That age is wonderful your mind is occupied well with him. You just need to keep it occupied when he's sleeping I guess or nursery if he goes xx

Oh boy I know that feeling! Every twinge I feel I over analyse. I question everything thing I do, I enjoy exercise and I always hold back on my tww just in case.

How many days have you until you can test? X

[Hidden in reply to Jhenderson]

I’m doing the exact same thing, I love working out but when I’m waiting I seem to slack and binge on the bad stuff 🙃 hopefully we’ll get there sooner rather than later! Lots of baby dust to you x

I am also in my 2ww. I just want to get back to work so i can keep my mind distracted but dont feel so great. Cold and tired. Get cooking or baking if you got the energy. Wish i could.

[Hidden in reply to Sumadi]

Yes I love cooking/ baking thanks x

Definitely know that feeling!! Every month it’s the same, every twinge, every feeling, could this be the month it’s finally happened! I’m currently having mild twinges & im convinced it’s my period coming - due on Monday! Every time I go to the toilet I’m sure I’m going to see the start of spotting which always happens to me before period.

I’m afraid I don’t have any tips on distraction but I can tell you that you’re not alone in feeling that way!

Fingers crossed for us all xx

[Hidden in reply to CBOO1]

The 2ww is the worst isn’t it? Try to keep busy with maybe a box set, books or whatever you think can help distract you. Best of luck x

[Hidden in reply to Smang]

Thank you Hun x

It’s definitely an agonising wait, keeping busy is probably the best remedy to help the time go quickly. Wishing you lots of luck for a positive outcome xx

[Hidden in reply to Dunla]
