Trying to Get Pregnant
I feel like a crazy person...
So, I've been trying to avoid the boards lately (after buying, at your advice Taking Charge of Your Fertility and joining Fertility Friend) because I became completely obsessed. But I'm back with my obsession.
I am 8 dpo and started spotting around 5 dpo. After convincing myself that I was getting my period early because I had a short luteal phase and this was why I had a miscarriage before blah blah blah, I cried and drank wine. Then, this morning I puked in the sink. And I don't puke. Really-like ever. So now all I've been doing all morning is obsessing again and reading about every person who ever had morning sickness on day 8 (all 14 of them). And poking my boobs! And now my boobs are sore, but I really think that they are sore because I have been poking them for the last five hours to see if they are sore. Not because they are really sore. Crazy person.
Can you tell me your crazy ttc story so I can feel better about my craziness?

Re: I feel like a crazy person...
IVF #1 with ICSI - ER 1/20 (16R, 12M, 10F), ET 1/23 (1-10 cell and 1-8cell transferred), BFP on 1/31 Beta #1 on 2/3 = 68, Beta #2 on 2/6 = 261 EDD 10/12/12
Relax, we all have been there. I started POAS at 7 dpo until 10 dpo until I saw a faint line, and then every day until I saw the line get darker and darker. Good Luck. I really hope this is your month.
This exactly.
Yeah, I've been trying to talk myself off this crazy-train of stressing. I absolutely hate the 2WW. I'm fine until I get to the 2WW then all I have are butterflies and crazy delusions of pregnancy symptoms. Then there are the ever-so-fun "what if's."
One thing I've done is picture myself getting AF and then I come back down to reality for a few minutes. Stressing sucks!
Maybe we should all have a TGIF cocktail!
IVF #1 w/ ICSI 9/2012 (10M 6F), ET 9/24 (1 good pre-blast), BETA 10/4= BFN,
IVF #2 Microflare w/ ICSI 12/2012 (19M 7F), ET 12/16 (2 Good blasts),
BETA 12/26= BFP (356), BETA 12/28 (840) 2nd Ultrasound shows TWINS!!
So I thought I would be one of those crazy lucky women that get of BCP and conceive right away (no such luck). My first cycle TTC i was convinced that I was pregnant. For a couple of weeks anything that smelled off or weird to me would make me think that I was definitly pregnant. My H and I were out to dinner at a brand new resturant and all I could smell is the new paint. I got all excited thinking that things smelling weird too me and certain foods smelling bad when they didn't before meant that I was for sure preggers.
This cycle I'm trying to not stress too much and just be as proactive as I can (charting, temping, OPK's). I'm not going to get my hopes up with symptoms, it just drives me crazy. Don't worry you are not alone in feeling crazy
I went through a phase like this too. Every time I smelled something MH couldn't smell I was thrilled to think it might mean something. I have just accepted that his sense of smell < mine.
I am right there with you!!! Last night I had an all out crying-swearing-vent to DH. I told him if AF comes on Monday I will need his shoulder to cry on, not his comments about how I am already over stressing about it. I am a POAS-holic, and have wasted about 5 this cycle already. --Started POAS at 9 DPO, because I had a dream that it was +.
I have been having weird numbness on my left side. Sometimes my arm goes fuzzy, other times its my leg/foot. I haven't found heard that was a symptom, but I am thinking to myself I 'think' I O'ed on the left this side this cycle, so it HAS to be a symptom....
Not sure if I am PMS'ing or if it is PG hormones, either way stupid hormones. Getotta my bodya...I dont like you, you make be a b!tch and I dont wanna be one! ::stomps feet extra hard::
So you are not alone in the 2WW of craziness!! PS have you POAS yet??
I have definitely over-analyzed every cramp, spot, fleck of CM, faint (or absent) line on a HPT, twinge of nausea, etc.
Good news: you're normal. Bad news: it doesn't end with a BFP... you start to worry about EVERYTHING!
Go to FF, you will see the list on the left, click on "Sharing" and then on "tickers"
Then copy and past that URL into your siggy or into this post....that should work
yes, you are definitely not alone. I started crying early today b/c I just know I'm not pregnant...um...I'm 6 DPO! Ridiculous to cry about NOTHING. The 2WW sucks and some months it sucks more that others!
Good Luck this month!
My chart...maybe...
My Ovulation Chart
And I have not POAS because Fertility Friend doesn't want me to. Although I probably will tonight so I can have some wine this evening (logic being that BFN big BF glass of wine!)
It worked! Feel free to put it in your siggy, it will help for future stalking
It looks good to me, but I just started temping this cycle so I really dont know. I have heard of girls getting BFP as early as 9DPO. I have also heard girls having symptoms and not getting a BFP until AF is slated to arrive. I hate 2WW, the last week is the worst.
chin up (easier said then done, I know I know) ...I'd say if you want a glass of wine, go for it, just dont have a bottle.
LOL I can totally relate to this one.
I have an obsession with 9 DPO- the day I got my BFP the cycle I conceived Lily. I cannot resist testing even if the temp is low.
Me too - I do this every month. It doesn't help that sore boobs are also a sign of PMS for me.
Making us lovely ladies crazy. Even though I had just gotten off BCP and was well aware that I might not even ovulate and was well aware of the statistics of getting pregnant even if i did ovulate, I too thought every symptom was one of early pregnancy. The nausea (I now know was from prenatal vitamins on an empty stomach), the late period (not really late just my body adjusting to being off the pill), the fatigue (working too many double shifts), I thought it all meant I was pregnant even if I kept having BFNs.. silly me. So no, i think its totally normal the way that you were feeling.
You are NOT crazy, but most definitely entertaining, LOL!!
I can relate to this too. The first month I was off BC and I didn't know AF was coming but I had sore boobs, never had sore boobs with PMS before and I got so excited, thinking I was pregnant already in my first month of trying! I got all excited and took like 5 tests over the next week but all negative. Just weird hormones and getting off BC. Then last cycle AF came 17 days later than the previous cycle so I thought I really was, but yet again many negative tests...I could swear sometimes there was a line coming, but nothing.
And I should probably be banned from google, webmd, and probably even here, because I obsess and worry about every single little thing I read, and I just worry that it will never happen for me. I just obsess and making myself nuts. So you're not alone!
