Going Crazy!

[heideandseek]

GAH! I swear I'm going crazy, please if anyone else is going through this, let me know! I need to know I'm not the only one..

ok.. so a few months ago (maybe 6 months ago?), my "PMS" started to change.. in that two weeks before I was due, I would start getting ALL the symptoms for a pregnancy. My DH and I were not trying so it would really weird me out. This is the first month we've actually NTNP so these symptoms were a little more justified in that I could actually be pregnant. arrived today.. but some of the symptoms I had these past two weeks were:
-Sore boobs & nipples (and they definitely swell)
-Abdominal cramping
-lower back ache
-extreme fatigue (the past 3-4 days)
-VIVID dreams
-Nausea at night
-Hot flashes
-Aversions to food and food cravings
-Extreme sense of smell


Now.. I can't decide if wanting to be pregnant is playing with my hormones but it is driving me crazy. I finally convinced myself this morning that I should POAS and then got to the bathroom and there was instead!

Anyway, does anyone else experience this even if they're not actively trying to get pregnant??? What do you girls think? Is it all in my head and I need to relax?? Is it my body telling me to hurry up and get pregnant because it's ready? Or am I stuck with this 2-week pms forever??

Hi hideandseek, I can completely symapthise with you. I came off my pill 12 days ago and have not had a withdrawal bleed. I have nearly convinced myself that I ovulated within days of stopping the pill and am now pregnant but I know that is totally impossible. I had a tiny spot of blood a couple of days ago and nothing since so it does make me wonder.

If you have had unprotrected sex then there is always a possiblity of getting pregnant? Do you track your OV? I don't cos like I said I have only just come off the pill so I'm just waiting for things to happen.

I think this site has really helped me understand what actually happens with OV and cycles and everything but to some extent it has been bad as all I am doing at the moment is symptom spotting instead of waiting patiently for af to show up.

Hope that has helped somewhat.

I don't track my OV... has been changing on me and I'm usually like clockwork.. so I was waiting to see when it would show up this month (I guessed right) and whether it would show up.

And I totally agree with the symptom spotting - I found this site not to long ago because I was driving myself crazy!!

So I think for July, I'm saying to hell with it and i'm really going to give myself a reason to think I'm pregnant!! My DH better get ready! LOL!!
