2WW - somebody please distract me from POAS

[frustratedpants]

Like it says in the title. Have hit the 2ww and really really need someone to distract me, or give me something to do to distract myself so I don't stupidly POAS because that would be a total waste of time and money at this stage

FX for you slattern puppy and pants

Hey sheep I'm 10dpo, expecting af around Monday.....will be poas on either 3rd or 4th if no af before then :o

Thanks Red. Has the subsided yet?

Welcome yipee and Sheep. fx for you both

Im just on my break at work (Im here til 7, booo!). Can you stop me from buying ic please?

Ive just thought, I have a big night out on saturday, so should I test early or not?

Not that it matters too much, I got my BFP with DD on the 28th Dec, I had spent the whole month drinking, including two days before I found out . Well I thought it wasnt going to happen, so I thought sod it I'll have a month off. In my defence it was my birthday and christmas in the same month thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it

Total bad influence Slattern I'm a serial tester didn't do 5+ tests after getting a bfp with dd

Welcone yippee and sheep

Can someone tell me what fx means please?

So jealous red well done you.

I think fx is fingers crossed?

Yeah swimming that would be the blindingly obvious now you mention it choice. I'm so thick sometimes

Question- would it do any harm to have a couple of glasses of lambrini with my distracting myself from poas BBQ?

To be fair the placenta doesn't pass blood across for the first few weeks, so it shouldn't be an issue to have a couple of glasses

What was the outcome of the cream tea decision?

Because Ive just had one and it was yummy!

Well, pants the draft NICE fertility guidance published May 2012 says women who drink 1-2 glasses of wine 1-2 times per week have higher pregnancy rates than drinkers of other things / amounts and than non-drinkers (there's a link to it posted by saranza last Friday on the JS thread). So you would really be doing the best thing for your body......

Hmm I like that idea swimming

Took the dog for a long walk tonight to distract myself from obsessing. clearly it didn't work, and the poor dog lost his favourite squeaky toy in the sea because he was too scared wuss puss to go in and get it.
On the plus side I think I may have convinced myself that i am realistically out for this cycle. And will be testing again at the end of August.
Reasons for being out;
Sore Boobs nope.
Cramps nope, think I have wind.
Lightheaded/high body temp/tiredness/mardy - most likely caused by the heat and i don't cope with heat well and have spent a lot of time outside.
weeing a lot - < gets up to go bathroom again> might have more to do with amount drunk due to heat.

on the other hand I can't find anything satisfying to drink, usually drink dr pepper, but gone off that. Had some green tea earlier, although almost bought 7up earlier. but it was the sugar free one and I don't like that one
But had a another cream tea earlier and the sugar craving usually indicates the witch is on her way.

Congratulations Red

How are the rest of you getting on...

Not really had the urge to POAS which is unusual. Got up this morning and took dog straight out for a walk, maybe this is the answer. Still want to know now either way, I hate this waiting malarky (sp?)...only a few more days left.

Darn it I POAS-ed. bfn like it could ever be anything else at 9dpo!!!! but I've felt nauseous all day. but that could just be the shame Aah I've headfucked myself. Someone please shoot me.

Rubbishyroo. Public confession makes it all better. We absolve you. Now repent and trrrrrrrryyyyy not to poas for, oh at least another day! when is 13dpo? And do you normally have a 14 day LP?

13th dpo is Tuesday. ERTD due tue or wed.
Thought I had a 14day LP but Ov a day late this month.

oh dear frustrated! at least u confessed. maybe not poas til af due! or maybe the day before if ur desperate.

no sign of af here and cramping gone today. its due tomorrow so ill be having interesting toilet trips from tomorrow onwards!

Congrats red !

Fingers crossed for everyone else.

Keep up the good work yippee

Ooh puppy, are you going to POAS tomoro or try to wait? I've got my fx for you

Well I caved and ordered the Internet cheapies. They might even be here tomoro. I will be about 13 ish dpo tomoro. Not sure if I will behave though

I'm going to wait.
was bad last month when I thought I had a line but then af showed , was 3 days late. not risking that again. very stressful.

if it doesn't work that early id rather just look at it as a late af.

will c how things r progressing by Tuesday if af not come by the (still quietly crossing my fingers despite my cool exterior!)

af still not here

Puppy you know what you have to do.

You know you want to

ha ha! I would like to but it won't be happening!

I have none to pee on! and I'm avoiding disappointment.

I like the pom poms tho!

super keep waving the pom poms. still no sign of the dreaded af.

still just quietly keeping everything crossed!

Come on, you have to POAS.

Well I did POAS - BFN.

That will teach me to test early
