Rambling to pass the time

I completely forgot how hard this 2ww stuff is. And it didn't help this morning when FF finally detected ovulation...on CD19!!! So instead of being 4DPO today I actually crawled backwards in time to 3DPO. It's like that s!mpsons episode when b@rt is watching the clock at school and it starts ticking backwards. Hilarious.

I'm not sure I agree w/ FF's interpretation of my data, 19DPO seems really late. I've never Oed that late. Personally, I think it could've been as early as 16, also could have been at 18 and let's hope so. Because a CD19 O day would leave me with a 10-11 day LP. Which is not necessarily enough for my taste. I'm not too worried about a LP defect since I did get pg that once (and then there was that maybe-chemical...) but maybe I'm being naive. Didn't I swear I was breaking up w/ FF a few posts ago? When will I learn?

I think I persist because I need to have some participation in this waiting process, and of course because it allows me to record symptoms which will be helpful in the future. I think it's mostly psychological. Speaking of symptoms, I have zero. Not that anyone (including me) is counting at this point. At THREE DPO.

FF recommends that I test Nov. 20. Are they high?

Wanted to report also that DH is being particularly cute lately. He's asked twice when we find out if I got pregnant. Two weeks I said. He thought that was a long time. No doubt.

Ugh. Girl, I support you, but I do not understand your relationship with FF - that would drive me nuts!!! But, I suspect its something about an attempt at control? ;) And *that* I totally get.

2 weeks is a long time indeed. So hope you're waiting for good news.

Ugh...The Wait. I wish I had some advice about how to fill your time to take your mind of it but I think we both know that's laughable. Fingers crossed that this wait has a happy ending!

I broke up with FF a long time. All BBT charting ever did for me was make me even more obsessive and screw with my sleep schedule.

And don't even get me started on some of the FF message boards. . . . Met some great people on there, but aye! The drama!

Sounds like you have been through a lot. FX for you that this cycle is "it."
