Why do I over-analyze everything in the 2ww?

I hate this. I am 1 week in to the 2ww and this weekend I was havinging cramping, which I swear I never get, but then again, I never tried to relate it to everything. I now have PMS syptoms and it is probably just that. So why do I have to over-analyze everything. Why can't I just relax during the 2ww instead of obsess?

This is exactly why I wasn't looking forward to the proces sof TTC baby #2. I had enough of this the first time. I guess I'll know one way or another this Sunday. (Mother's Day - oh the irony).

Thanks for letting me vent.

    I am right there with you!!! Last cycle, I went crazy. I tested at 8dpo and got a positive and was ELATED, but then I realized it was the trigger. So I spent every hour of the days following over-analyzing every little feeling. I also tested multiple times each day.

    I swore to myself that I wouldn't do that to myself again, but it's hard! I'm 9dpo today and am still getting a hint of + from the trigger. I have been having cramping for a couple of days which gives me hope, but I'm so scared to see a negative test. I know my chances aren't good for this cycle, yet I keep fantasizing about how I would announce, etc. I wish I could just hibernate through the 2WW!

    The 2WW is the worst!  No matter what you try to do, you end up second guessing every twinge or possible sign of pregnancy.  Hope it goes by fast.  Definitely one of the hardest parts of ttc.

    Thanks, ladies! I knew you would understand.

    I just had my 7 dpo lab work and now I can't wait to hear the results. Well, maybe it is a good thing I have a deadline at work this week. I'll be forced to focus on it instead of whether or not I get a bfp. Who am I kidding?
