Waiting to O
I hate waiting to O so much more then the 2 week wait. When O approaches I get all full of anxiety and worry about everything, will we have good timing, did I miss my surge of the OPK, did we do it too much, did we do it too little, will the sperm die before they even look at my egg, will we have time to BD, will DD sleep so we can BD??? These things consume me for about 1 week while waiting to O. At least this cycle I will get to see my eggies tomorrow and see where we stand, but I still worry. Then once O is confirmed I go back to feeling better less anxiety. I much rather be in the 2WW dreaming of that BFP then waiting to O and hoping we do it right??

OMG...I totally know what you mean. I make the SAME mistake every single month. Hubby and I 'front load' our BDing efforts. I get so nervous that I'm about to O early...so we BD. Then I tell myself that the next night we'll skip and try the following night. But...the night after that, I think "Wait...is that EWCM?...OMG..we HAVE to BD tonight". And this cycle goes on and on, until I realize that we've BDed 5 nights in a row...and I've only JUST felt my ovulation pain.
I think I'm going to try this this month: I'm going to BD on CD 10 (we don't BD before that...we just wait til my AF is over and then start BDing on CD10), then we'll wait 'til I get a positive OPK and BD three nights in a row at that point. Then, after that...we can BD whenever we like...without a schedule.
I'm feeling hopeful for next month. And that scares me TO DEATH. It will be my second month with a regulated thyroid, and I'm going to be having my HSG test (I think that's what it's called.....It's the test where they check your tubes for blockages). My fertility specialist says that, for some reason, an oddly high number of women get pregnant the month of their HSG. So...I'm hopeful....and it scares me because I know that the more hopeful I am, the more painful it is when I get AF.
