The 5 Levels of Obsessiveness During the 2WW

Level 1: Occurs 1-3 dpo. Chart stalkin involving following questions. Did I ovulate? Is that a temperature rise?

Level 2: Occurs 4 - 6 dpo. All the symptoms of Level 1 plus How was our timing? Is my temp higher than last cycle? And OMG, what was that weird cramp?

Level 3: Occurs 7-9 dpo. Symptoms from Level 1 & 2, plus Is that an implantation dip? Begins to compare charts to pregnancy charts on FF Chart Gallery.

Level 4: 10 dpo. All previous level's symptoms, plus "Does my chart look triphasic?","Should I test?" and "I'm 10 dpo now, I can totally test." Victim begins to pee on anything in sight.

Level 5: 11 dpo and onward. All previous symptoms. Victim is now in a state of complete neurosis. She can no longer think about anything non baby related. Symptoms will persist either until the arrival of a BFP or AF.

For those of you who are wondering, I'm well into Level 3 and on my way to Level 4. Awesome.
