I am going to drive myself bonkers...

in Success after IF

So, we aren't really doing anything by way of birth control.   While we wouldn't necessarily choose to get pregnant right now, we'd welcome it with open arms - because it would be amazing to do it on our own and we were planning on going back to the RE before DD was a year old anyways.   

But I've had one PP period - and now it has been about 28 days, so I'm driving myself nuts looking for signs AF is on her way.   And because I haven't had any spotting or anything yet, of course I have started wondering in the back of my head if I'm pregnant.   :::sigh:::    I am well aware that my period will likely not be regular right away (since I am still EBF), and well aware that even if I wasn't BFing, our odds of conceiving would be crazy low... but that doesn't stop that little annoying voice in the back of my head ("omg, maybe I'm pregnant?!?!"), now does it?  

I know how this story ends, so why do I even bother wondering?!   gah!

    LOL! You make a good point... Perhaps I need to put in an order for some Internet cheapie tests. Crap. I used to have those by the drawer full... It has been so nice not to think about all of this for the past year, you know?

    I have some I could send you. I'm on BCP so I know I'm not going to need them anytime soon. :)

    Well, I have never been one to turn away free pee sticks. Hahaha! But having pee sticks in the house is T.R.O.U.B.L.E. What I really need is to come back down to reality...

    . I can't help you there... I'm usually more of a glass half full sort of person, so I'd have a hard time squashing hope :(. Sorry!!!

    I am too!    I just don't know if I am ready for the "hope rollercoaster" to start itself up again...

    I did that for 10 months after Paige was born.  It is pretty much unavoidable!  We finally said, screw it, and went back to the RE.  It was much easier than wondering and driving myself nuts!

    That is what I thought...but I never even got a pp AF.  I weaned DS, and never got AF - I took a pg test about a month after weaning, and BFP.  I nearly fell on the floor in shock.  Good luck!  I hope you get a surprise, too Smile
