2WW Plan

Usually during the 2WW all I can think of is if I am pregnant or not. It also drags on and on. Even though I hate waiting to O I also feel anxiety during the 2WW.

So here is my plan to NOT think about it during the 2WW.

Tomorrow until Monday we are going to the Beach again. So all weekend I will be spending with my DH, DD and my Mom, so I will be busy sunning myself and eating lots of seafood.

Tuesday - Friday next week I have a lot of work (at work) to catch up on and when I am home at night it is all about playing with DD and listing on ebay. (Halloween costumes are next to be listed). Then Saturday and Sunday we have family picnics both days. SO if FF is right with my O day I will get AF on Saturday but if the RE is correct then I will not get it till Monday.

So keeping myself busy is the plan. Hopefully I will not think about it too much.

Today I have had a belly ache all day, not like sick but like I have to go to the bathroom but can not go. (sorry if TMI) so of course it has me off whack so today there was not pregnancy thought.

Also a internet friend of mine who found out she was pregnant (on her own) after adoption and IVF told me today that she read The Secret and tried to visualize a baby by telling people (in her family) that they were going to have a baby someday and she even bought kids clothes and maternity clothes to prepare for it, knowing she had IF problems in the past. She said it helped her visualize a baby. She believes that really helped in conceiving. While I believe in karma and praying, I am not sure if I am that optimistic. I am afraid if I think I am pregnant that I will be even more let down when I find out I am not. I also feel if I buy things for the future baby I will be jinxing myself.

Ayone else feel this way?

I've read the Secret and kind of take it with a grain of salt. I try to think postive and I do visualize seeing the positive pregnancy test, hearing good results from the doc, etc. but I haven't gone so far as to buy baby clothes.

My problem with the Secret is that it suggests that if bad things happen to you that you brought them on yourself. So, anyone with infertility is infertile because they aren't thinking correctly, and worse, anyone who gets raped, murdered, etc. brought that one themselves. I just can't buy that.

Good luck not thinking about the wait. It's the worst part of the whole process for me. The not knowing and not having anything left to do is torture.
