Introduction: I'm Jen and I can't wait to be pregnant!!!!

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I've been lurking a bit, but haven't posted. 

I've ALWAYS wanted kids, and now it's finally about to happen. My husband and I have just started TTC and I'm in that waiting period before I don't get my period. I'm going crazy, and it's only been a few days past ovulation.

We tried the month I got off the pill in November, but I think it was too soon. We had to wait a few months because of travel for weddings in the fall, but now we can finally try again.

 How did you all make it past those first couple of weeks in which you knew you wouldn't be able to get any results? After two days I am already crazy and thinking I am bloated, sick in mornings...it's all in my head since ovulation has JUST ended.

    Welcome!  You'll see lots of posts on here about that part of your cycle - known around here as the two week wait (or 2WW) - I have no advice because I'm antsy myself but good luck and know you're in good company!

    Welcome. I don't have much advice because I am the same way. I have gotten used to the phantom symptoms

    Hate the 2WW, I'm there with you.  I record all my phantom symptoms in my chart (and the 2WW thread) and I think it helps just to put them into words.  Good luck to you!!

    What kind of chart? I just used the OPK sticks and had sex with my husband..LOL! I know I'm due for my period in about 13 days from now, but I haven't charted anything. Maybe I'll learn of its importance after this first month fails and I need to keep track of more things!

    Welcome! I think most of us feel anxious and antsy during the 2WW. Phantom symptoms are pretty common around here. I think we are just so excited at the possibility that every little thing our body does, we say 'Is that a symptom?!?" lol

    Good Luck TTC :)

    Dude, I am wicked-glad others have phantom symptoms.  It is AMAZING what your brain can manufacture!  Nice to "meet" you guys!

    Check out fertility friend for more info on charting.

     I have quickly discovered hat this whole process takes a lot of patience (which I am not great at). Good luck!
