How do you distract yourself?

Till it's time to test. Having a really hard time waiting till I can test, and took one today (four days before my period is due) and the BFN really depressed me. Anyone have any tips for distracting yourself?

I took up a new hobby with my husband. It's quite technical and absorbing and it has definitely helped to take our minds off things.

We went for target shooting. It's not for everyone, but it works for us.

I'm just throwing myself into work, but then I'm self employed and love my job. Did 3 over the last 3 days and still got 5 days till AF due. My advice is as hard as it is, don't test again until AF due. It's even more depressing on the 3rd go!

Target shooting sounds ace!

It makes people stay out of my way when I have PMT, that's for sure. Wink

I think as well as distraction it's good that it's something we couldn't do (at least together) with a young baby, so it's a way of saying "fuck you universe, we're having fun anyway".
