How to get through the TWW

[FirstCub4Bear]

I'm 4dpo in my 10-11th month of officially TTC. I'm usually pretty calm during the TWW, but this is my first month on Clomid and I guess I have high expectations this time -- or, more expectations than in months past. I'm trying to stay busy with work, but I'm still driving myself crazy googling everything under the sun about Clomid success stories on lunch break and after work, and taking way too much notice of every little twinge, nausea wave, stomach ache, whatever that happens. And I've cut out my usual glass of wine after work, so now I'm really not calm! I know a lot of you are in the same boat. Any advice for getting through the TWW without going crazy. I'm not even halfway through it!

Thanks and baby dust to everyone!  - Heather

How I pass my time is by reading.  Any book I can get my hands on.  One book will usually occupy a few days.  I also have been watching reruns of ANTM on MTV.  I love doing these two things so it takes up a lot of the waiting time.  Find something you're passionate about that will help you keep you mind off of the wait.  (And coming on here and talking to other women helps a lot too!)

The only way is by staying busy but of course you're going to google every tww symptom and compare it by the days LOL.  I know I used to obsess over the twoweekwait website each day and compare my symptoms.  That got kind of old when I started feeling like I memorized each woman's symptoms LOL.  Maybe you can buy a new fertility book and read that during your spare time?

Hang in there!!
