Waiting to find out and trying not to let myself believe I may actually be pregnant

[MartinaC]

My husband and I have been struggling for 6 months to conceive. This was the first month we could actually try using alternate methods and I'm now waiting to see if we were successful. I'm trying not to read into things, or get excited, but I've been having really bad acid reflux, I dreamt two nights ago that I was pregnant, the night we tried I had really bad stomach issues, I woke up with a weird taste in my mouth today which stayed even after I brushed my teeth, and I am pretty sure my areolas are bigger and darker. Based on my calculations, I am about 6 or 7 dpo.

I believe in bad mojo and don't want to be telling my body it's not pregnant if I am, but I also don't want to get excited and read into anything, and of course it's too early to test at home.

I don't want to share this with my friends because they don't really know all the struggles we've been having and I don't want to look like a fool if I'm not. I don't know if I'm looking for people on this forum to tell me I am likely pregnant, not pregnant, or what, but I needed to share this with someone.

Share away! That's what we're here for.

Hi,

This is cycle 5 for us. I was due for my period on the 26th still nothing yet, i've taken 2 prey tests and both have been negative. I feel different, slightly nauseated and my boobs are very sore. Im trying to be positive but with the 2 negative tests I'm sure I'm not pregnant, although part of me wants to believe i am. Im going to wait a few more days then do another test. It hard not telling people whats going on but dealing with the disappointment is too much, and sometimes to hard to share. I know how you feel.

Wishing you the best of luck this cycle!

Yeah I know how you feel. My DH (36 going on 37) and I (35) have been trying for 10 cycles and I'm 11 dpo into cycle #10. I've been also basically telling myself I'm not pregnant despite a few promising symptoms to avoid the disappointment when af shows up It's a self protection thing so I don't get mad and upset. I'm not going to test until I'm a few days late to avoid getting my hopes up and then seeing a and getting upset about it

I don't have anyone to talk about it with either, other than with DH and the ladies here, as everyone I know either conceived within the first 3 months or aren't TTCing at the moment due to either being single or just not ready yet.

Here's hoping we all soon get our

Thank you everyone! It felt good just sharing it. It doesn't help when I have to say no to things like blue cheese, or beer, because I MIGHT be pregnant. Not that I wish this kind of stress on anyone, but it does feel good knowing that I'm not alone. Thank you everyone!
