Is anyone else out there feeling like this? - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

beck12 · 07-04-2005, 10:41 PM

Just looking for a little lift - or a good vent on feeling like I'm always waiting for something.... Af, ewcm, a dip in temp, any funny feelings, etc. Half the time I'm sure I'm convincing myself that I feel things that aren't there.

I used cm as bc for over a decade before ttc, and now it seems I feel less in touch w/ my body than ever - and I'm on cd23 and have already been scrutinizing everything - every little twinge, checking my breast to see if they're sore - lol - as if I won't know if THAT happens

... anyway - just looking to laugh a little at myself & keep some good humor in hopes that I may feel a little less nerotic if there are others out there in my same boat

Come on admit it - I'm not the only one without any patience around here - I know it!

BEst wishes on your journey & baby dust to us all!!!!!!!! Thanks for listening

I can soooo relate!!! After thinking the word baby and instantly becoming pregnant with #1 we are now working way to hard to get #2. I am always watching for signs of everything...ovulation, implantation, pregnancy and af. My body, when trying not to conceive seemed so normal and routine and now...it's like an alien has landed!!!!
I wonder if the stress we put ourselves under ttc just makes everything weird and out of wack.
Here's to hoping we all meet soon on the pregie board and that our bodies soon cooperate with what our hearts and minds want!!!

Oh yes! I totally relate to all you've both said. Since I got pg right away in Jan (unfortunately it was ectopic) and I KNEW last time just by little things way before the bfp. But now ttc again (1st baby), last month I absolutely convinced myself I was pg, but AF was just a day late.

Right now my boobs are tender and hoping for a bfp soon, currently on cd24. I'm excited and hopeful, and yes...waiting! Arg. Of course, once I get the bfp, the next hurdle will be getting it in the right place

Nothing I can do about that but pray.

Thanks for making me lol you cheered me up i too have become obsessive checking for signs for everything from af to o to implantation, driving myself crazy. Lets hope we all have good news this month. I am glad i am not alone thanks

Well - I think we all just need to be able to laugh at ourselves & learn to lighten up on the process perhaps. I guess I'm just very excited that after my m/c in Mar, dh wants to try again & I am very hopeful every month, even when I seemingly feel nothing unusual. Thanks for helping me feel so normal & I'm so glad to have such an informative place to come to where I know others are just as neurotic as me
