2ww and phantom symptoms

in TTC after 35
are turning me into a lunatic and I need to vent to people who understand.  I'm 9DPO and everytime I feel a bit nauseated, have a headache, crave something, smell something, my brain gets hyper-aware and pops up with a "hey!  POAS!".  My DH is a major POAS junkie and is constantly asking me to check.  Resisting the urge.....

    I'm right there with ya. I'm nauseous and my bewbs hurt. I get excited for a second, but then I remind myself "You're on progesterone... which mimics preg symptoms. Calm it!"  I just bought the cheap test strips and am struggling with the decision to use them to test out my trigger and test early or not.

    I know what you mean!  i'm one (1) day into my 2ww and I've already convinced myself that I was feeling sick this morning.  Ridiclious.

    I feel like a crazy person and the wait might just kill me.

    Keep us posted if you decided to test.

    I am weak (and have waaaay too many HPGs at my disposal).  I took one and it's negative.  I read on the box that it's only 51% accurate 4 days before your AF, so I guess it's only 40something percent right now.  Sheesh.  For an odd reason, it seems to have appeased the crazy.  Not really upset because I'm not out of it yet.  We'll have to see this Sunday...

    I'm particularly crazy this cycle as well. Since I have a bunch of cheapies I decided to test everyday!!! But I forgot today. To explain how crazy, I'm only 4dp IUI. Hahahaha

    And I swear I'm sensing symptoms too!!! My DH is a POAS junkie as well. He called me today and asked if poas this morning. Like he thinks I wouldn't wake him up if I had a BFP. LOL

    I'm 5 dpo and I've felt really bloated the last two days, and this evening I feel some twinges. But, on the other hand I'm not having all the other stuff that everyone keeps feeling. So, in one respect, I REALLY want to test, but in another, I just know it'll be negative. I just don't have much hope that it worked this time (1st time), but holy crap I want it too!!!!  Ugh!

     I have one EPT, and I'm DYING to use it. But, I won't. Yet. Stick out tongue

    I completely hate the 2ww and I haven't being doing it very long yet. 6 months. But this month I scheduled a trip to see my mom, sister, and nephew for a week right in the middle of the "wait" time. I refuse to pack any tests! Lets see if its enough of a distraction....

    Well, so much for being further into my 2ww like I thought. FF moved my O to Monday because of my temps! So, now I'm back at 4dpo. I want to scream! I'm not sure that I buy the change, but my temps sure do look like it. I really wish I had started temping earlier so I would have a clearer picture.

    I'm ready to see some symptoms though. I've had bloating, twinges, and the vivid dreams, but now none of that makes sense. I think I'm just making them happen. Blah.

    At least there is a reason to our madness.
