How to distract myself during the dreading 2WW..

I got my positive OPK Sunday morning, BD on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (I’m exhausted!)
But now how do I take my mind off the TWW!? I’m constantly feeling for symptoms like I’m sure my boobs hurt already which I’m wondering if it’s a sign it hasn’t worked.
Anyone in the TWW now or got any advice? Thanks x

@rttcbabyno1
Of course you can join in! The more the merrier!

I've only just heard about the SMEP plan and it sounds so tiring! The past few months we've just been dtd on peak ovulation day and then day after but then the book I read this month said chance of conception is higher from dtd 2 days before ovulation! It's all a minefield isn't it?

That must be so hard when you're TTC! plus working around other children as well!

I work 10 hour shifts so always tired at the end, thankfully I was off work this week whilst ovulating!

@VNttc I’m not surprised 🤣 fingers crossed for you . . . And all of us.
My oh works away 4 days a week, so it’s hard to get the timing right, managed Sunday too then got positive Monday and pounced before he left ha ha
Only first month of trying. It will be my 4th, his 1st. I was reluctant at first but now we’re actually trying I want one more than I realised xx

@misschandlerbong, we dtd Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday... Very rare for us and now I'm exhausted 😂 hoping this is our month!

Can I join? Think I am 1 DPO currently. TTC no1. 4th cycle been trying since July. Hoping for the new year BFPs🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💝

Tried the SMEP plan this month, we're pretty tired 😂 basically did it in the months before too but not so strictly following the every other day prior to ovulation window. Fingers crossed for us all 🤞🏻

2dpo over here too, got peak opk Monday, dtd Monday and now it’s all I can think about 🙈🤦‍♀️

@jules5232 I'm 2dpo as well! TTC baby 1 and month 6 of trying! I hate the TWW but at least Christmas is a good distraction! AF due for me on new years eve...

@DollyMixtureStocking I'm here with you! I'm 2DPO and trying to keep myself busy. We get a peak OPK on Monday and BD on Saturday and Monday. Are you TTC baby #1??

The femometer app has a good tww guide where it gives you things to do each day 😊
