I have officially turned into a crazy lady.

I promised myself when we began TTC that I wouldn't test before my missed period, wouldn't over analyze every little symptom. Well ladies, I'm officially a big, fat liar. I think I have POAS every time I visited the bathroom for the past week and I swear I feel bloated and have a sporadic slight pain in my left boob. All tests are negative though and I am making myself crazy! I guess I just thought that maybe the rumors were true that you are more fertile after a m/c (I had one in Nov) and I'm crushed every time AF comes. Am I the only loon out there?

I'm sorry for your loss

We also planned to start off really casual, no OPKs or temping, no changing our habits, no stress, just winging it with no BCP.

DH totally called me on it when he caught me initiating BD around cd10-14, switching positions, etc.

When my cycle got really long with no AF and BFN I got really depressed, ordered red raspberry leaf tea and planned to start temping the next cycle. I also tracked my symptoms every day in my iphone app.

While we didn't really follow the "rules" I definitely wasn't the laid back TTCer I hoped to be!

Edit: I bought bulk packs of internet cheapies and tested any time I felt like it guilt free because they were only like $.05/test. If you know you are the same I highly recommend them

Re: I have officially turned into a crazy lady.

I think most of us are like this. You're not crazy. You just want a baby.

Good luck!
