LTTTC 6 years, second round of clomid, 4 dpo and not obsessing???

[Kimiw]

Hi ladies,

so, as I said, we have been trying for 6 years, this is my second round of clomid and I am currently 4 DPO but I am NOT obsessing! This is very unusual for me, I usually obsess over every tiny twing I feel in my belly. Last cycle I ovulated but no pregnancy was achieved, I don't know if maybe I just don't want to get my hopes up again? I am not worried that I am not obsessing, it is actually nice not to, in fact, 4 dpo came really fast. Any of you ladies feel like this before? I know this is a weird post but I am really surprised that I am not symptom spotting, nor do I care too. Very strange for me.

For my past 2 clomid cycles I haven't even had the foggiest idea how many DPO I was, and loved it!! Whenever DH asked, I had to get my cycle calendar up on my phone and check because I genuinely didn't know.

AF arrived yesterday, which is a day earlier than it should have done according to my calendar, and although I was upset, I did find that not obsessing over how many DPO I was made it so it wasn't so much of a big deal, if that makes sense?

In fact I'm currently feeling so relaxed about the whole thing, we're going to take a break next month and leave the last cycle of clomid until September. Not a bad way to be at all

I am with you. I have been trying to make a major conscious effort to let TTC be in the background of my life lately. It's been taking over everything for the past year and I'm sick of it. I'm in a spot right now where I have my first appt with a specialist coming up in Sept, and I just started seeing a naturopath/acupuncturist. I'm letting the experts tell me what to do from now and taking that burden off my shoulders. All I can do is Bd and hope for the best. I just o'd so now the real challenge is not obsessing during the TWW. We can do it girls!!

It's true, I am surprised that I am not obsessing. I guess you just get to a point where the obsessing didn't help so why not just relax and let it go? I am 5 dpo today ( I think lol, I am pretty sure) and I just don't care. I have looked up common symptoms on the internet (I admit) but more to educate myself then to obsess. So many women have symptoms cycle after cycle and still end up with a BFN. Last cycle I obsessed so much I could have sworn I was pregnant. It was my first round of clomid too, so I think I was putting too much faith in the drug working magic or something. This time around I am more calm and collected. I am not even counting the days to when I get to test. I will test on 15 dpo if I don't get AF. I got AF right on 15 dpo last cycle which was amazing cuz I have PCOS and my cycles are all over the place. The clomid helped to regulate it. I am already thinking about next cycle because I don't think this is going to be our month either. I think I am just tired of getting my hopes up that I am just accepting that I will most likely get a BFN. I must be going a little crazy lol.

That is totally spot on.

I think I'm preg like every month. It's ridiculous. Even last month we didn't even get our timing right but I was still googling symptoms.

its true! I have convinced myself so many times that I was preg too. You never give up hope, you are just more realistic about it.
