This two week wait is killing me... HELP please!

in Trying to Get Pregnant
Ok, so today is day 29 of my cycle, I ovulated late this month, on CD 19, so I am technically only 10 days post ovulation. I took a pregnancy test today, tried to stop myself but I couldn't help it. It was a BFN like always. My hubby and I have been trying since december and this is really driving me nuts, I haven't gotten AF yet, so I could still be pregnant it may just be too early. But every day for the past 4 days I have been bloated, gassy, had this weird pressure slightly below my belly button which gets worse at night, exhausted... I think I may just be feeling these things because I want to be pregnant so bad. DH and I really tried hard this month and I know its not hopeless yet, I just dont want to get AF again this month. Everyone that started trying around the time we did is pregnant now, with more people getting pregnant daily. I almost want to deactivate my facebook account, because everytime I go on there someone else is making some big announcement about their pregnancy. I hate that I feel this way and I just want to be happy, but I feel like its not gonna happen until I am pregnant. I am so tired of people telling me to just relax and it will happen. I haven't been this nuts all along, I swear. Ugh... Sorry readers, most of this was a rant, I am just feeling a little at the end of my rope this month and not sure what else to try. Any tips, whether it be to get a BFP or just remain sane while waiting on one, would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm sorry it's so hard. Deactivating Facebook is probably a good idea. Best of luck.

    I think a lot of people here can relate to how you're feeling - I know I can.  At this point, all you can do is wait so my tip would be just try to fill up your time to try to keep your mind off the wait. During 2ww I try to make a lot of plans after work so I can stay busy.  Good luck. I hope you get your BFP soon!

    This exactly. Try to distract yourself and don't get too disappointed!

    Thank you guys, I just had to vent to someone, even though I dont really know anyone here. I went on facebook today and all my pregnant friends posted pictures of their babies progress or craving updates or belly pics. I am happy for them, I just feel totally overwhelmed by all of this, I really never thought it would be this hard, physically or emotionally. My husband suggested taking a break and going back to not trying, such as using protection again like we did before we were married, to avoid me feeling this way, but I dont really feel like that would help either. I really dont know right now.

    Not to get your hopes up, but I have to say that when I got my BFP in June, I was feeling the "pressure" down there....not really like cramps, but something. I tested at 13dpo and barely got a + on my hpt. Low and behold, I was pregnant.

     I really hope this is your month!!

    I deactivated my Facebook at the begining of the month.  Best thing I ever did.  I hope that when I choose to activate it again that I'm able to keep it from getting to me as much.  If you considering deactivating I would say do it.  It's helped put me in a better place emotionally even though I do feel a little disconnected from some people because they only communicate with people through FB.

    I have never know so many people pregnant at one time in my life...5 girls at my job and so many more that I know. My facebook news feed is constantly pictures of sonograms pics with pregnant announcements...

It would be amazing to find out I was pregnant in March! Please send me all your Irish luck (been trying for 7 months and I need it!) I Love you! XOXOXOXO

    me too! both of my sisters are pregnant, one of them I work with, another girl at work, her friend, a few of my cousins, some random facebook people I hardly know... I mean, before I was trying was this happening and I just didnt see it or are these people really coming out of nowhere???

    A girl I went to HS with got KU on accident and constanly posted about it on FB. Instead of deactiviating my whole account, I just blocked her from my newsfeed. Maybe try this with the pregnant people you are FB friends with.

    Get a hobby. Keeping yourself busy helps you not obsess. GL.

    Just went through my first 2ww and was almost positive I couldn't be pregnant because of timing, etc... it STILL drove me nuts.  Can't imagine how hard it is if you've been trying for some time.

    Well, AF showed up today, so I guess next month will start month 11 of trying... not sure yet if I really want to anymore... This is much harder than I had anticipated in the beginning.
