    The ever present waiting game..

    Never mind just the 2ww, I'm finding ttc is a continual waiting game!!! First you're waiting to complete enough time on the diet, supplements etc, then you're waiting for your chosen month to ttc, then it's a wait for AF to begin so you can start your cycle day count down, then waiting for ov day....!!!! And then of course the 2ww.

    BFN and you're doing it all over again. This is either going to drive me bananas or teach me the patience of a saint!

    Couldn't agree with you more! I am wishing away the next five weeks until our first attempt. I am crossing everything that it happens first go. I am scared I have lost too much weight too early. I didn't have a lot to lose and I am also doing the extreme exercise. I know I won't have the pounds to keep doing this for more than three months and I know that increasing calories late in the game is not ideal.

    With both of my boys, we decided to try at the end of AF, a week later I ovulated, a week after that I was pregnant on a test. Two weeks goes a LOT faster than three months!!!!!

    I know what you mean, the weight thing is a balancing act, its so hard to judge how much weight to lose every week as we cant tell how long it will take to conceive!
    Fingers crossed it happens quick for you

    Totally understand you!
    After diet for almost 3-6 months and BCP for three cycle, and loosing 5 kg, I was so ready for that BFP! But no, the second line never showed up, instead aunt RED did! Uuuuurgh!
    So this cycle I was just super relaxed, relaxed diet, relaxed everything. I am 12 DPO and have not even tested, pretty sure I will get another BFN....so just waiting for AF....
