I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
The first time DH and I tried to conceive it was five hellish months of obsessing and being SO upset and disappointed with every BFN.
we SWORE we wouldn't ever really "try" again - we would just stop using protection and let nature take its course.
then, as usual, the rest of life gets in the way (work schedules, etc), and we realize that it would be best to get pregnant in the next few months.
so we decided to "try" but SWORE that we wouldn't get so obsessive over it...
but here i am, AF is due tomorrow, i have like a million symptoms that i'm sure are false, and i'm totally obsessing over it.
i don't even know what the purpose of this post is... i guess just to vent... i guess i'm just upset at myself for letting myself get to this point again

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
Im sorry  It is so hard not to obsess and it is harder to get pregnant than people think. Try to stay calm, and if AF is due tomorrow, then wait until tomorrow and test. Hopefully the symptoms are real this time.   we're all here for u either way!!

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
It will happen again for you , you got pregnant before  so it is possible, it is just a matter of when
. It is hard not to obsess , I am TTC #1 and every day I can't wait to POAS, or think about baby names and then I keep telling myself it could take months , so just relax and roll with it .
to you !

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
I told myself the same about not stressing...whatever happens, happens...and so far I lost count of how many times I have had to remind myself of that. 
It's hard to disconnect in any way...almost impossible...but we try.
Lots of and  for you!

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
thank you, everyone. i really, really appreciate all the support.
i'm feeling AF coming on, but i'm trying to keep things in perspective and to believe that it will happen when it was meant to happen.
 and to all!!!

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
i am sorry you are feeling this way... and i too had done this so many months that i just couldnt do it anymore...
so my game plan is this now...
its working so far this month..
we are using the OPK's.. then BD the days we have to.. after all the BDing in the fertile window is over.. i just dont even count the DPO... or worry about teh 2WW .. i know its VERY hard.. it took me a long time to do this..but its finally working!!
i just now pay attention to everything else around me.. my DH .. family, friends..etc.. thats all you can do!! and it is easier to not knowing cause then you dont have those "imaginary " symptoms.. and this is the first month where i really dont have any symptoms.. i feel fine and normal.. !!

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
Aw, I know the feeling. It never helps that hormones get in the way!
I was bad in the begining, OK for the last 4 months, but I have such high hopes this month that if it doesn't work, I am sure I will be a mess!!!
And this time you have a beautiful baby who needs you and looks up to you.
It will happen for you again

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
Ugh, it is sooo hard not to obsess when you want something so badly and there is so much waiting involved. I have been doing the same thing for 6 months now....second guessing every little feeling/change in my body.
You are certainly not alone in this one!

Re: I told myself I wouldn't get this way again...
it is hard to not get anxious! i am going 4 months now and DD was conceived in 2 tries so i am trying not to think about it too much myself- but thats easier said than done! i remember with DD when it didn't happen the first time, i was so upset. now i see that i would not have my DD if it worked out that way-i deeply believe that i will get PG when i am truly truly supposed to. it is that belief that is keeping me more calm and sane this time.
hang in there! it WILL happen for you!
