Imaginary pregnancy, ie. I may be crazy.

Msbean22 · June 2014

Am I the only one who has imaginary pregnancies?! You know, leading up to A/F you start wondering if those pms symptoms aren't pre-pregnancy symtoms and started imagining that spotting is implantation bleeding...anyone? Just me? Probably just me.

So this is the third time where I am 100% convinced that I'm pregnant when I have no proof of such since A/F isn't supposed to show up until Sunday.

Let's go through the list:

Sex on ovulation day? Check! (we use the pull/pray method exclusively and I have a suspicion due to alcohol consumtion that maybe I didn't contain my husband's finale in time [ew gross!])

Cramps? Check! (since 4-5 days after ovulation day. If I'm not pregnant, I am going to be concerned. I know this early isn't exactly typical, but it's been pretty consistent for a few weeks.)

No PMS symptoms? Check! (well, except for me bawling all morning on Wednesday for no real reason. I usually bloat up like a balloon and mildly break out on my face, but none of that yet and as I said, AF is supposed to start on Sunday.)

Exhaustion? Check! (okay this one may be explainable - possible pms symptom, although not one I have ever had. Evie has been waking up at 4am each morning for the past three days and shuffling around, waking me up for a bit. Barely keeping my eyes open at 8pm is rare for me, though, regardless of slightly unrestful sleep.)

Sore boobs? Check! (this might be my imagination. Or possibly pms symptoms, although I've never had this as a sympton before.)

So yeah, lots of this could be in my head. I do want another baby, but my husband is hesitant to start trying. He has money on his mind. He's actually way too concerned about money, honestly. I track our finances, all he does is pay on his credit card when I remind him it's due :eyeroll We're fine with money.

Most likely wishful thinking, but cross your fingers for me and please, please, please someone tell me they've experience this sort of nuttiness too

Realistically there is about .000001% chance I will conceive without medical intervention. I've known this for 5 years and still I sometimes micro examine my symptoms right before AF and fantasize I could be pregnant.
Hope it works out for you.

My husband has had a vasectomy and I still wonder every so often. Not alone! Did AF rear her ugly head today?

Negatory on a/f, however being a day off or so isn't unusual for me. I'm still trying to get my tracker app in line. Likely not pregnant though, as I took a test yesterday and showed no bun at this point.

Good luck TTC!! It took us almost a year and a half to get pregnant again and I worked with a fertility dr too, so I can relate to how you are feeling. We basically started trying within a few months after Jeffrey was born.

I imagine this all the time! DH and I are only just now starting to entertain the idea that having another is in our very near future...he's also extremely worried about money, so we are making sure that our car is paid off and we have nearly paid off the overpriced vacuum DH financed just after I went on mat leave with Jax. So pretty much any time after April would be an ok time for me to go on Mat Leave again...so it may happen...but I'm not sure yet.
