How do you handle the 2ww?
I am going crazy over here!!! My bloodwork is Thursday and that is all I have thought about all day today. I still have 2 more days to go. Last week, I was all chill, but now....a ball of anxiety. What are some of the ways that you deal with this? I'm planning on testing Wed morning 11dpiui. Do you think that it would show up then? I've always just waited until AF was late or the day she was due. I don't think I want to wait for the phone call when I am seeing clients at work (and could possibly be in a session).

Re: How do you handle the 2ww?
I am not good during the TWW at all! But, I've managed to always hold off until AF is due.

If you did use one, it is possible to it to stick around in your system for upwards of 14 days, so just be aware of that.
And ditto the other ladies. I would test, and also keep in mind that it could possibly be too early.
