TTC after 35

Am I the only one?

Just wondering if I'm the only PG obsessed nut in here that checks my EDD every cycle during the dreaded 2WW if I were to get a BFP?
Perhaps a slight form of selftorture? lbvs

Re: Am I the only one?

  • I have calculated it three different ways just today. First day of cycle, Day of ovulation, Day of IUI, Deliver date if multiples.. Nope you are not alone!

  • Yup, here too.  And FWIW - I call it PRE-planning, I like to think I am just preparing.  Although, I don't think it makes it any less pathetic.  Ha!
