During the 2ww, I feel like I'm a cat locked in a box. Am I pregnant? Am I not pregnant? Am I BOTH? NEITHER?
I seem to exist in both states/neither state. My mind keeps thinking about "if I am pregnant this cycle" (my due date would be, I shouldn't buy those jeans because I'll gain weight, we won't be able to go to that wedding), but I also can't stop thinking about what will happen if I'm not pregnant (advancement at work, take the vacation, have the elective surgery I've been putting off).
It's actually our first cycle TTA! For professional reasons, we decided to wait until summer. Of course, I ovulated early, and we caught the first part of my FW without meaning to. Oops. Don't get me wrong, we would be thrilled to be pregnant again. I just want to know. NOW. Instead of living in a box for the next few days.
I'm 9 DPO. I POAS yesterday and today just for kicks (they were wondfos, so I don't mind wasting them), and of course they were BFNs. I won't start getting really antsy until Sunday (12DPO, and when AF is due).

Oh crazy! Good luck I am an early and frequent POASer so I get it, lol.

Ya, I know what you mean. I go back and forth like, yup, this will be the month, great timing, woot! then nope, I know it isn't, it'll never happen, sads. It's like until you pee on the stick, anything is possible, even though rationally that's kinda dumb, because rationally you know that it's not that stick that makes you KU'ed - you are or you're not, at that moment.
I do the same. I've been putting off buying clothes incase I get pg (also to save money). It sucks. I still can't get my head right. This was the last cycle before stopping for 3 months b/c my due date wouldn't work could with my work schedule. I'm 15 dpo and still BFN but no period. And my face looks like hell so it better start soon!

Well, you saw my cray cray post about Chrismas babies. I had no idea what a mind f*ck this would be. Waiting for SAT, LSAT, college admissions, etc. doesn't even compare.
My birthday is Saturday and my folks are coming down. I'll be 7 DPO and will POAS just in case....
ETA: Your Schroedinger reference made me want to rewatch "Lost."
