Symptom spotting like crazy *short rant* (no symptoms mentioned)

Hey ladies. Anyone else struggling mightily with symptom spotting? I keep doing it - I'm only 7dpo and I know it's not even realistic but I'm driving myself crazy and my hopes up way too high. It's my first cycle TTC after the MC and I'm torn between needing to believe that it will be as easy as it was the first time around and needing to realize I'm going to wear myself down too quickly moving forward like this.

Anyone else want to rant about symptom spotting troubles?

    Oh yes! I'm 7DPO too. This is our third cycle trying and the last two have been so bad so I'm **trying** not to this month. So far I'm mostly just like wow my BBT is high! It's so hard though and DH just makes it worse trying to be supportive and agree! It's gonna be a long week!

    I was a lunatic symptom spotter this month. Like, seriously, a crazy person. 

    My downfall was that I did not temp this month, and after getting positive OPKs Cd13&14, I concluded I was due for AF on Christmas. Well, on Christmas I had the requisite cramping, but no period. I was convinced I was knocked up. The next day we got home and I saw some EWCM and was puzzled, so I took an OPK and it was positive. I was then more convinced I was pregnant (clearly too hopeful/delusional)! Got a pregnancy test Sunday night, took it Monday AM, negative. WTF body, ovulating on CD 33 is not acceptable, pull it together. Back to temping I go!

    Good luck on your symptom spotting! Only a few short days until you'll know the results, keep us posted!

    Edit: lost chunk of my post for some reason?

    @piccprincess when are you testing? I'm holding out until NYD or a couple after. DH is doing the same with me, commenting on my temps and asking if I feel anything. It's definitely not helping :/

    @BornReady Oh wow that stinks! Maybe you had anovulatory LH surge earlier? I hope you figure it out, FX you get good news after this positive OPK, keep us posted, too! I'll be posting in the check in thread when we test.

    I'm sorry you find yourself symptom spotting like crazy. It's never easy, and I'm sure I'll be the same way once I'm off the bench. Have you thought about just testing now? If you see a BFN, then you'll know that your symptoms are not pregnancy related. You'll also still have hope since it's so early, but maybe it would dial back he symptom spotting? Good luck!

    I struggled with symptom spotting last month. Ended up just being a mix of PMS and a stomach bug. FX for your testing plans to show a BFP!

    @piccprincess I'm considering testing on NYE but 9dpo is really overly hopeful.

    @RiverSong15 the clear blue digital tests I have were a 2 pack and they were expensive, so I want to wait until there's an actual chance of a BFP. I could go to the dollar store, but I don't because it teaches me patience. I'm horribly impatient. Lol.

    @Kay6519 Thank you! Hopefully this is a good cycle for you, and you get your BFP!

    I always try to talk myself out of symptom spotting so that I'm not setting myself up for major disappointment.  It's so hard not to though...the TWW is literally torture!

    Oh, Lord, do I ever relate to this! To make it worse, my OB had me on progesterone from ovulation for the past three months, which gave me all kinds of pregnancy symptoms. In every pregnancy, before I even got a BFP, I was really irritable and had the craziest dreams. Guess what my main side effects were from the progesterone...irritability and crazy dreams! I was so happy when mfm told me to hold off on taking it until I get my BFP. I'm hoping that helps curb my crazy...
