    The mind is a powerful thing

    DP and I got caught up in the moment and DTD on the last day of my period (Day 7). I dont take any contraception and we didnt use anything extra.

    So fast forward to today (Day 19)

    I have convinced myself I am pregnant. I am having vivid nightmares, peeing all the time, put on 2kgs and have a wicked back ache.

    I know I am not. But now I want to be

    I am goin insane.

    Anyone else do this? Convince yourself you have symptoms when you really dont?

    In 11 months of ttc I convinced myself I was pregnant every month and had every possible symptom. In the month I fell pregnant, I knew, without any doubt in my mind that I was NOT pregnant and had no symptoms at all

    Oh, and we did the deed once that month, 6 days before ovulation and got our baby girl!

    infact...Ive even convinced myself that even when i get BFN after POAS that for some reason it just isnt registering..like the sticks faulty, or i have some crazy unknown random genetic thing where hcg doesnt go in my urine =\ oh yes...the joys of TTC =P

    ps. for what its worth..i hope you are pg =)

    It's possible you could be, and you have just tested to early... :P

    My secret of wanting you to be pg at the same time as me is hardly a secrert tho

    Yep. Anything that could be a symptom of pregnancy makes me think this could be the month it happens.

    Yep, every month!
    As I type this I am considering poas tomorrow, even though I had AF 6 days ago. Because, you know, it was a verrrry light AF with a minuscule amount of fresh blood...And yeah..that could have been an implant bleed right?? right????

    you are though, it's definitely not impossible!!

    After "the incident" I was terrified because we didnt plan on even discussing ttc until DD was three! But now there Is that tiny chance I am clucky as hell!

    I am kind of in the same boat as you DH and I DTD 2 days before my AF started and now I am waiting for AF to start this month but all I have had is brown discharge, tender boobies, and I have been crying at everything, and I am over analysing every little thing which is probably what you are doing too LOL Let us know how you go

    I am the same, but at the same time, in trying not to get my hopes up anymore I'm at the point where I rationalize every symptom.. Eg at the moment my nipples are sore and sticking out because it's cold. My face is flushed and hot 2 days in a row because I'm fighting a cold - that sort of thing.

    Sent from my iPod touch - sorry for any mistakes!

    Af arrived. Right on time.

    Now to convince DP that ttc is not a silly idea!! Given that DD is a woeful sleeper I don't like my chances! Lol
