Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I think I'm pregnant, but shhhhh

I had a missed m/c in August, then a chemical pregnancy last month (our first time trying since the first m/c). Because of them chemical pregnancy we were advised to wait till next month to try, but we were sloppy & had sex right near the time of expected ovulation. I?m still quite a few days away from my expected period, but lately I am starving, constipated, having crazy dreams, and a teensy bit nauseous; all things that happened with my last two (unsuccessful) pregnancies. I?m trying not to obsess because these things could all be totally unrelated and are not necessarily indicative of a pregnancy, but its an awfully familiar feeling. I want to just tell myself ?we werent ?trying? so don?t think about it? but now I find myself thinking ?when is my period due & when will I be able to find out if I am or not??

Anyways, telling you girls cause I don?t wanna tell DH or my BFF that I?m thinking about this? cause they both know I obsess over it.  I?m trying to play it cool : )

    Wow, thanks. I'm well aware of that fact. Im pretty sure I'm not the only woman to read into my symptoms and hope its an indication of a BFP in my near future.

    Perhaps I don't know the background, for all I know the OP could be loopy but that just seems harsh & also, not true.

    Not everyone gets pregnant, when they are "supposed too."

    I think it just irked me because we had to use fertility drugs with Peyton.  We waited over a year for what was supposed to happen, happen.

    I'm not loopy. Just hopeful. I really wanted 2u2, and I thought I was going to have that. Now with each month that passes I just get more anxious about it. When people have chemical pregnancies it seems that half of doctors recommend waiting a month & the others dont. It was suggested we wait, but as I said we were sloppy, so we didnt "try" but certainly we were in that window of time. So I feel like any other woman in my position, when I notice that I am having dreams for the first time since my last pregnancy (which literally only happens when I'm pregnant), I find myself getting hopeful.

    Although I dont like the other posters comment about it happening "when its supposed to" although I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I know some day I will hold baby #2 in my arms and know that everything that has happened to me happened for a reason so I could have the baby that I was meant to have (and likewise I'm sure you can relate that everything that has happened to you, including needing meds, has brought you your most perfect baby). Its just hard to have patience sometimes, even though I know that whats meant to be will be.

  • I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I've been trying for #3 for about 13/14 months. So I totally over think pg symptoms all the time. I know how you feel. Today is 12 dpo and too nervous to even test cause Im so sick of seeing a BFN.
