Hi!!
Looking for some info as Googling this has gotten me exactly nowhere lol.
I am thinking I might be pregnant again but I am very skeptical given the fact that three out of four cycles before this I was ALSO convinced I was pregnant and got my period, and the other time I had a chemical. So basically I stopped breastfeeding and got my period back but had a chemical and then three cycles that ended up just being crazy hormonal weirdness that made me think I was pregnant but resulted in AF showing up.
This time I'm feeling something different that I didn't feel in any of these previous cycles, which is persistant breast tenderness that has been increasing, and boob size which has been increasing, boob heaviness, lol, just generally boob change-y weirdness. I'm also experiencing some of the same symptoms from the last couple of cycles (nausea, fatigue, grumpy mood swings and being emotionally sensitive, etc.)
The cycle before the last one, when I was 100% convinced I was pregnant, it was devastating to get my period. My partner and I would ideally like to wait to actively try but are NTNP for all intents and purposes, but he got excited, too, and it felt like a loss even though all that was being lost was an idea, not an actual pregnancy. So I just want to not get all excited about ANY symptoms now.
BUT MY QUESTION IS! Can any of you share with me how your cycles were after you stopped breastfeeding and got your period back? Were they super weird and make you think you were pregnant every time? And if so, did they go back to normal? And finally, how do you stop yourself from going crazy during the TWW?
This is crazy. Why can't it be easier to know if/when you're pregnant!? Lol
