I put waiting to O because in my case (due to short LP) this is longer than waiting to know!

I think waiting to O is harder because I'm always feeling unsure about whether I'm actually O'ing or not! Plus, I feel stressed to get in BD timing, and I can't relax and wait until I know it's passed!

but when we were TTC it was definitely waiting to know... waiting to O wasnt stressful because I got to DTD a couple times each day!

waiting to O because I was usually really depressed about yet another BFN.

I found the 2ww at least exciting in that there is a possibility of being pregnant. not so much on cd2.

Definitely waiting to know. Waiting to O is the fun part.

I voted Waiting to Know.

Waiting to O seems to go by pretty fast. A few days of AF (for me 8 long ones) lots of good loving, and the time does seem to fly. Once O is confirmed, my GAWD the days start dragging. Sex happens after O but it just doesn't seem as dangerous, fun, or exciting (but maybe that's just my perspective). I feel like for 2 weeks life gets put on hold waiting to know if I'm pg! It's definitely by far the harder of the two for me!

Waiting to O definitely. But then I've been waiting to O again for 17 months. However, when I am cycling, it's still waiting to O. My cycles have always been really irregular and I would O anywhere from cd 16 to cd 30. Waiting to know is the short and exciting part.

Waiting to know!!! It seems like life slows down for the 2WW! The first part of the cycle seems fast for some reason....even though I tend to O late in my cycle. ??

Waiting to know! I'm pretty regular and I already KNOW that I'm going to O, but I have no idea if I'll get a bfp or not..

Waiting to know is much harder, because you can't do anything to up your chances. While you're waiting to O, you can plan more BDing, take OPKs, temp, use Instead Cups, Preseed, different BD positions, stand on your head, etcetera. There is still a chance to change the outcome. Once you ovulate, it's game over!

Funny, I voted waiting to O because of the exact same reasons! All that stuff you have to do to try and make it be "the month" and stress over wondering if it's going to happen at all. Then in the TWW, you get to just relax...what's done is done!
