I am only 5 days past ovulation, and this is my first time waiting to take a pregnancy test! I cannot keep my mind off of testing, I want to test now but its was too early!
How do you keep your mind off testing until its time for your period?

Obsessively look up baby names and their meanings! Imagine wild and traditional combinations! Read about the two-week wait! Dream about positives! Research which brand is most reliable! Or my all-time favorite, read about fun things to do with pregnancy tests at http://www.peeonastick.com and decide which ones you'd like to try.
Once you read absolutely EVERYTHING on peeonastick.com, surf on over to http://www.twoweekwait.com/, all about waiting for AF or testing time! Read BFP stories there! Look at pictures of other pee sticks (and be sure to show your partner ... it'll really freak him out to know that women actually take PICTURES of them) and wonder if that's what yours will look like! Check out the pee stick art! Read their "2ww silly habits" page.
If you totally run out of info on those two sites, randomly surf the web. Download something called StumbleUpon to make it truly fun. Get it at http://www.stumbleupon.com.

Well, hopefully your wait will give you the results you want, if not, then I assume you will try again next month just like the rest of us trying to conceive :) Until that day comes, try reading, to tell you the truth, during my first wait, i read almost the entire "what to expect...." book in the two weeks and all that did was make me more disappointed when it didn't happen so on second thought, don't do that :( Perhaps, taking up a new hobby...I quilt so I tried learning new patterns during my second two week wait...I learned a lot, but all I could do was think about making a baby quilt, so again, maybe not a good idea. SO, basically what you have learned from me is that it doesn't matter what you do, you could be digging up worms and all you can think of is doing it with your child, you will always have that thought in the back of your mind. I will tell you that thinking about it that much can drive you mad (i know from experience) but trying to put it out of your mind is almost impossible, so instead of trying to forget what your trying for, learn to live with that fact that a baby is never far from your thoughts, and how to function when it might not happen right away and you see a little baby and you are back here in a month thinking how in the world you will ever get through this. Just think of those women who have been waiting longer, and then your cross is not so hard to bear. Hope this answer was helpful, but I know it wasn't, because if your clock is ticking as loud as mine it doesn't matter what anyone says, you wont be able to hear it. Oh, and testing now would be a waste of money so look at it this way, if you go ahead and test to early (which by the way will not give you reliable results) you are spending money for your kids college fund, so do like I did...everytime I want to buy a test to early I put that money in a savings account, until at least 14 DPO and then I test. I have almost 600 dollars saved up:)

get a hobby that you can do around the house, or start doing some cleaning, or do something else that would take your mind of thinking about it, but don't stress about it too much because you can actually trigger yourself into thinking you are pregnant when really you are not, so just relax and try your hardest not to think about it just keep busy best of luck to you :)

Just do other things. All you can do is wait...it's hard but it's just like a child waiting for Christmas. They take each day at a time, you should too.

I have tried various things but nothing worked, it was still all I thought about. So just count down the days.

Don't go crazy with the baby websites or name websites. I don't want you to feel disappointed if this is not the time.
