Unsolicited assvice! If you want to distract yourself from your IF woes, try:
1. Getting yourself covered in hives. You won't care about anything else--though mine are fading. Can I say how awesome it is not to feel like a thousand little ants are biting you every few minutes? By comparison, I feel like a million bucks.
2. Signing up for a training program that sends you running up big long hills, then lifting weights, then biking home. You'll be too knackered to give a shit about your cycle, or much of anything beyond lying down and drinking water. In fact, I have to say that my IF struggle has prepared me mentally for this stuff. I can take a lot of grinding pain, and unlike IF I know it will be over in just an hour or so. I mean, compared to the 2ww, that's nothing.
3. Agreeing to write press releases to make money, an academic article to win the people's ovation and fame forever (to quote Chairman Kaga), my allotted dis portion, in the space of about a week and a half. Gulp.
With that, it's back to a press release now in progress.

Yeah. I've always found that things seem to get easier when I have no choice but to place my focus elsewhere. And I agree that running to the point of exhaustion is a really good way to clear your head. I feel a run coming on tonight, even if it ends up being more of a jog for 10 seconds and walk the rest of the way!
Those are very good IF distractions, but I think I will pass on all 3!! But good luck! Espcially with the running stuff, that is awesome.
Yep. I've been distracted with work, which makes me think "What am I going to do this summer, when I am off for nine weeks?"
Mine is, testing the brains out of eight year olds, packing up my classroom because I'm moving to another building (I have SO MUCH shit!), and just trying to stay one step ahead - so that I am not bowled over like I was last year.
Flat Stanley. Ever heard of him? That was me. :)
Yep, all three of those will do it. When I had my cyst a few weeks ago, I had no problems not thinking about infertility because all I could think about was fervently hoping that someone would stop the pain. I don't recommend it as a form of distraction, however.
Good for you on the training! Once upon a time I too ran and lost my arches in the process which in turn led to bad knee pain. So, lots of walkies for me!
Hello my moldy friend! You simply must come up sometime! Are you doing anything for memorial day? We're thinking we'll have a bbq. (I know, short notice, but I thought I'd throw it out there.)
Definitely sound slike great ways to stop thinking about cycling!
I want to join teh training program though. What on earth did you enter?
I'm with Alicia. You need to find better distractions ;-)
Wow. That's some impressive goals! and I'm willing to bet you'll get them all done.
Just. .. . wow.
