TTC after 35

Trying not to think too much...

I'm sure you can all relate to at least some of this...I just needed to get it out and so here it goes...

I am so tired of wondering what every single little twinge, pang, bout of nausea, etc means.  I'm tired of wondering "does this mean something"... 

I'm nearing the end of my 2WW, 11 DPO,  and the new things this month are being super sensitive to smells that I smell all the time (not making me sick just "wow-I can totally tell someone in the room has been eating peanut butter, etc), being insanely tired and my **warning may be TMI here* nipples are extremely sensitive!!

Trying so hard not to let my mind spiral out of control and get my hopes up...it all could very well be a sign that the beotch AF is on her way back...

I try not to test until AF is actually late so I have another week to wait.

:::sigh:::  Thanks for letting me get it out - I'll try to move on now...try.

Re: Trying not to think too much...

  • Sorry that you are struggling with that :(

    I have a pretty good capacity to hit the ignore button I guess myself. I just have the attitude that analyzing symptoms isn't going to make me more or less pregnant.

    It's ultimately all between my ute and the pee stick :)

  • I've done pretty good every month except this one. 

    At work the other day I kept noticing smells and someone said something...seemed like I did better when it was just me thinking it.

    You're right though-over thinking it all isn't going to make me pregnant.

  • The 2ww sucks, especially when you're having symptoms.  I hope the next week goes fast for you.
  • We are definitley hear for you to vent to...sometimes all you need to do is "talk" about something and you instantly feel better...try not to let it get to you...and if you feel the need to POAS everyday until AF rears her head...do it.  It ultimately is whatever works for you...there are no rules. 

    Good luck and I hope we hear of a BFP from you real soon!!

    Hey, like CB said it's good to just say it and get it out! I hope that BFP is coming you way soon!

  • Hey!  I am a fan of trusting your body...sounds like some of your "symptoms" could be early pg signs.  You won't know until you POAS...only a few days to go!  Good luck!  Sending you tons of BFP dust!
  • GL & vent away!

  • Vent away! ?I have made myself crazy so many months. ?Ultimately, my BFP month had very few symptoms. ?You just never know until you POAS or, in my case, pee on 3 and then switch brands! ?Good luck to you, and I hope this is your month!!

  • Like all the others have said vent away.  The 2 months that I got a BFP I had little to no symptoms and was positive I wasn't pg and then other months I was positive that I was pg and got BFNs and AF. So you are not in this alone. The 2ww is the worst.

  • I really hate the 2ww. I actually think it is better to test and see a BFN than to obsess about phantom symptoms for days on end.  After several cycles, I do find the 2ww getting easier.  I think I have experienced every symptom out there so I can tell myself, "you felt that before and it was nothing, remember???" Good luck to you!! I hope the symptoms are real!!
