Ok...I am officially going crazy so I thought I would start a new thread. My beta is not until 2/25 (10 days away!) and DH is so opposed to POAS that I don't plan to.

What is everyone doing to stay busy this weekend? I need some ideas so I don't lose my mind...

Hey sounds good to me . I'm sorry for posting so late, but I have been falling asleep to darn early. However when everyone is slee, I'm UP. LOL Oh I know you can sleep all weekend. Not going to work for you ? Ok I tried (smile). Go visit book stores, or family this weekend. Anything just try to stay out , and time will faster, then if you should sit around. Hope you find something fun to do.

Oh, the 2ww is SO hard. We all feel for you.
Not being able to POAS is beyond my control. You are a good girl to listen to your DH. Mine didn't want to and I just HAD to so I snuck it. Ofcourse for our third attempt when I got a BFP he was very excited that I had. Now, I am not advocating being a sneak like me...
What can you do to occupy yourself? If I were you I'd call up some girlfriends and go out to lunch or dinner. How about organizing something at home? A big project (that isn't too manual laborish) might keep your mind busy.
I have to say, though, that none of that EVER worked for me. I always obsessed and couldn't help it.
GOOD LUCK!

I think baking is a good way to take your mind off things for a little bit. Plus you'll have lots of goodies to snack on!

Thanks for the suggestions! I kept pretty busy today and am going out with some girlfriends for Mexican food. Hopefully some guacamole will help!

How are you all doing?

Oh Sooz!
I'm in the same boat, girl!
My beta is also the 25th, and my DH is TOTALLY against POAS.
I'm trying to be good too!
I think I'm going to just relax, watch some movies, and maybe make a nice dinner for DH.
Hoping next Monday comes quickly for both of us!!

How many days past your transfers are your betas? Mine seems ealry. . .

I test on the 20th. That's 8dpt. I had a 5dt. I keep trying to compare this to a natural PG & it still seems so early. I don't think I'd expect a period until about March 5 - that's when I would have tested before. . . .or 10-14 days past ovulation which would be Feb. 21 or later.

What do you all think?
