Csab - thanks for your lovely post to me. Yes it made perfect sense. I haven't done a HPT for a few days as I know it's probably just delayed AF due to stress (last 2 weeks have been full on for me). I'm tempted to do a HPT but I know AF is probably just around the corner anyway It's lovely to hear other women are looking into their symptoms each month too when waiting for AF to arrive and yes it's so interesting like you said. ... I feel it's important to look at your symptoms, not read into them but rather look at them as a way of learning and reading other womens AF symptoms to compare. It's all learning isn't it....?!? And I think as long as you mentally prepare yourself to not get disappointed each time AF arrives, then you should be OK. I'm hoping that when DF and I start TTC we should fall pregnant within 12mths anyway as that is when the majority of healthy fertile couples fall pregnant.... however in saying that, we also know that it could take longer (if we have fertility issues we aren't aware of etc). But in the meantime, we don't want to think the worst and we feel we should remain positive, knowing it should only take a few months to fall pregnant....and it is hard not to think about it.
I think your question on this thread is a really good question.... so we can compare AF symptoms to early preg symptoms to try and figure out who gets what etc (seeing as my AF symptoms seem to be so much like some womens early preg symptoms and they arent in my head, other women get them too dont they.... Af can make you dizzy, can give you pains, can give you nausea etc and so can pregnancy)
When you want a baby so badly and are so excited, it's hard not to get your hopes up! And I think no matter what anyone else says, it's your experience, and your experience/s alone, therefore noone should tell you how you should feel or how you should try not to think about things etc.... because it's YOUR experience/s. That's what makes you who you are, after all And if you get disappointed along the way, have ups and downs etc, then it doesn't matter... it's all part of the experience of life.... it's the journey....
BTW - yep, I still have very mild, type cramps that i've had on going now for the last 6 days I think (?)and now and then a pain still in my right side (ovary area)... very different to anything I have felt before and it's not in my head either.... also felt very nauseous and was sick this morning.... hhhhmmm?!? Could just be AF.... either way, I just want to know soon!! Hormones are cruel aren't they? I wish symptoms of AF weren't so similar to preg symptoms... when AF is arriving it seems to make me feel so sick and tired.... AF is about 7-8 days late....
Anyway I hope you are pregnant!!! How are you feeling today?
All the very, very best with your TTC journey.... I hope it's a short one for you!! :P xx
