Distracting yourself in the 2ww

[Leighanndancer]

Currently TTC #2 after early MC in August. This is the first month we have DTD and only one time as been crazy busy, also my little girl, 8, loves to sneak in!

Feeling like this 2ww is the longest ever! I have loads of symptoms, very sensitive breasts, sure nipples are dark but the more I look at them I don’t know, slight nausea and loss of appetite, weird burping.
I’m totally convinced it’s just AF messing with me.

How does everyone else cope????

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage :(

Honestly, I just ignore everything. I’ve been through my fair share of tww’s and have come to realise everything means nothing and overthinking will just cause so much unnecessary stress. I just remember all tww symptoms are progesterone related and not pregnancy related, no matter how weird or abnormal they are for me. Our bodies are quite frankly, dickheads and the more attention we pay to symptoms, the more our brains convince us something is going on.

Also, gin helps

I love your words Bubblegum89!
Our bodies are d*heads :)
I had 2 miscarriages and no take home baby yet. In the last 2 months I could swear I got pregnant again. Sore breasts, no period pain, bloated, all like it was twice before when I got the two lines. And then AF still came. :/ Either in time or 1 day later but knocked on the door. Tww sucks.

I'm 2dpo and honestly don't know how I'll cope through this TWW... I've done 20 of them now (TTC#2) so I should have this mastered by now but the blind hope is pretty effing strong! 10 more days to go before I should be testing but in reality it will be more like 7, with 3-5 more days of agonising over stark white sticks before AF dutifully arrives on time. When have you decided to test Leighanndancer?

waves hi Bubblegum! And yes, my body is definitly a dickhead. The worst was getting crazy painful ovulation pain that meant the last thing I wanted was to be prodded with DH's trouser snake.. Seriously how can biology/evolution account for that?!

And sorry to hear about the MCs Leigh and Skit, how awful

I just wish there was something, just one thing that we could all hold onto, that faint glimmer of hope.
It’s just so unfair for us women to put up with all these symptoms and then the disappointment on top.

I’m due AF on Tues @CatRen27 so I’m going to hold out if I can. Got a busy weekend ahead so don’t want to be moping about after a bfn

Thanks for the wise words ladies.
Think I’ve found it odd as I caught 1st time with no1 and then also with the MC jellybean, 1st time of trying.
