Is waiting to ovulate just as hard as the 2ww for anyone? I just started TTC, but I'm coming off pills and waiting for ovulation to hit feels like I'm waiting for Christmas months before it comes or something! The days are dragging and dragging, and I know after I finally ovulate the 2ww will be even harder. How do you guys deal with all this waiting and make the time go by??
i am usually more excited about waiting to ovulate than i am during the TWW lol. the TWW i try to keep myself preoccupied with other things and not think much of TTC or i will drive myself nuts thinking 'did i do things o nthe right days???' etc.
I find it's not as bad. Because you can POAS to get your excitement going. I use the CBFM and OPKS so I begin to POAS around cd7. So the time seems to go ok for me.
waiting to O is hard since you want the timing to be perfect as possible!! I am scared about mine...The 2ww is WORSE because you want to feel everything and hope that is it something! I just come on here and really I have no release for my anxiety of getting a bfp! How sad am I?!?!

Normally I obsess more in the 2WW, but not this time.... I chart and fertility friend still hasn't confirmed Ovulation for me and I'm on CD21.... Last cycle I O'd on CD15 so this is driving me insane!!!
I've been TTC (no2) for about a year and have just recently started to find out all about charting and OPKs and everything else (no1 just happened). Since I know that we can conceive, I'm guessing that the fact that we haven't is due to timing, so I'm really obsessing about my Ov date, now that I know I can try and find out when it is!!! (I was quite happy up till now, when I had no idea that Ov dates could be determined - perhaps ignorance is bliss, but there is no turning back when you have discovered the possibilities for educating yourself! I have had a few issues, mainly irregular bleeding, for many years. Now I want to know what all my body signs are telling me, exactly when I Ov and I want to know that I've put in enough BD at the right time. When I've got all that sorted out I can start really thinking about HPTs in a more serious way - the current method is "buy and test when feel tired, grumpy or slightly overweight....
