Why does the TWW make me certifiable?

[aknqtpie]

The last time I was TTCing.. it drove me certifiable.. and now it is still driving me certifiable... I am probably between 2-4dpo (I didn't do any tracking, so just going on past experiences)... and I am unrealistically feeling all of these "symptoms".. and then I have to remind myself.... no .. you aren't going to feel any symptoms this early, because implantation won't happen for another few days.

I am a nutcase. But at least I can admit that ...

Oh man join the club. I think we all get that way, how could you not when you know what's at stake??

I'm right there with you !

 

[robyn1990]

totally there with you x

 

[sn0wbunnie]

We can all be certifiable together

 

[aknqtpie]

Hahaha.. sounds like a plan.

acknowledging the problem is half the battle

My name is Sara am I am certifiably ttc crazy!!!
It's impossible not to read into every little feeling in your body and over think the small stuff. I've been ttc forever and I still do it every month.

 

[aknqtpie]

I know I'm 3-5dpo.. But I swear I have all these symptoms that are probably impossible to know. And I still have another week until I can test

I was having nausea three days after my period ended the other week and I was all HOLY CRAP PREGNANT?!? And then I had to rein it back in and reason with myself that I hadn't even ovulated yet. So I'll join you on the crazy train!

 

[aknqtpie]

Melly.. looks like we are going to be testing around the same time.. What day are you testing? My boyfriend is at training and will hopefully be back thursday night, so I will be testing friday morning. Should be 10-12dpo.

 

[kealz]

Me too - going bonkers! To prove it... I've been p(ing)oas every morning since 6dpo! I'm cd21, 9dpo. Of course all bfn's as it's mega early still, plus they're ic's. Have a precious frer waiting in the wings for about Monday.

 

[aknqtpie]

Good luck!!!

 

[kealz]

Thank you!!

 

[slg76]

So good to hear that other reasonable women become nuts when it comes to testing!

 

[aknqtpie]

I dunno if I would be considered reasonable…lol

 

[kealz]

Lmao! it's when you start going a bit nuts and dh doesn't notice you've changed!

 

[MellyH]

qt, I'm going to wait until my period is late before I test. I'm due around May 20. Ten days to go!!!

 

[aknqtpie]

I am honestly tempted to wait that long.. I really want to test early, so I can know.. but part of me doesn't want to, because I am terrified about the disappointment that will come if/when it is a BFN.

 

[MellyH]

If TTC takes much longer I will probably start getting impatient and peeing early! But for now I'm happy to wait until my period is due - it's not like the answer changes when you test! And I'm worried about getting my hopes up with chemical pregnancies.

 

[aknqtpie]

I got pregnant within 3 cycles the first time I tried. Unfortunately it resulted in a blighted ovum. Then my DH passed away, so this is my second go around.. with my OH.. so hopefully it will go quick.

I swear my boobs are extra sensitive… I think I am 5-7dpo.. so is this a rational time to start thinking they should be?
