feeling impatient

[Indigo77]

Feeling frustrated to get yet another AF today. Argh.

So very sorry, Velo...

I really thought this month was *my* month with all the symptoms I was having, but they're obviously just pre-AF symptoms that I never noticed prior to being in tune with my body.

TTC is much less stressful when you ignore all symptoms! its unbelieveable...Ive had my period every month from age 11 - age 37 and when I started TTCing had soooo many symptoms Id never noticed before! I feel so bad when I see people listing symptoms and getting excited as I now know period and pregnancy symptoms are practically identical. in fact all my friends on here had LESS symptoms when they were pregnant than when getting their period (however I have also had months with no symptoms at all and not been pregnant either so you cant get excited about no symptoms either)

Argh! The symptom spotting! Every month I say to myself "I'm not going to do it, I'm just going to carry on and wait for the day AF is due"... but no, there I am, googling every little twinge or sign!!

TTC is hard work emotionally, i don't think we realise before we start how much it can take out of us. Each month we have to put up with feeling a range of different emotions and it can be so difficult. I especially "try' not to think about on my TWW, but each month its all i think about, and when the dreaded comes again, the thought of going through it all again is unbearable.
Good luck to you all

The 2WW can seem to drag but last month I refused to symptom spot and after inputting my temps I ignored my chart and was a little calmer

I like this idea. When I start all this tracking nonsense again, then I will stop temping if I see an O.

I started temping last month just to check I was ovulating as I was losing the plot the month before not knowing if I had or not and I couldn't remember any of my blood results from 2009.

I do temp for the whole month so that I have something to show a FS if we see one but this cycle DH is going to read and record my temps for me so I can't see them and therefore can't stress over whether I get an implantation dip or AF dip

Ooooh right. I didn't think about needing to be able to provide my doctor with the info. Not that I have a FS yet, but I'm sure I'm headed that direction. Well, if nothing else, since I've already gone through my crazy-lady-can't-think-of-anything-but-TTC cycle, maybe when I start back up with tracking, I won't be so all-consumed. Ha.
