You know what sucks?

It sucks that every little thing that I feel or notice about my body automatically makes me wonder if it is a sign of pregnancy. What is even worse is when someone tells you, "You're thinking about it too much. Just don't think about it." What does that mean? How can I not think about it when I am giving my self daily injections, or suppositories, or getting u/s and blood work. Not to mention my giant ovaries that I feel all the time. I love getting advice from people who have never been touched by IF. I try to be polite and even try to help them understand it, but most of the time I just end up feeling alone in this journey. My DH is amazing, but it can still feel very lonely at times.

    Agreed.

    I quit doing the thinking every little thing meant I was PG. It just drove me crazy. Of course I've been ttc for almost 6yrs so it would have been like 72 months of oh am I's? Too miserable for me.

    I am getting better at ignoring it, but whenever we try something new I can't help but wonder if it worked! I usually do okay until a few days before I have to test and then I think about it all of the time.
