Last month, I convinced myself I was pregnant, and when I got my period, right on time, I was depressed for like three days! Pathetic much??? Hahaha Anyway, I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up, but I can't help but feel like everything that happens is a sign. It's kind of disheartening....Like the last few nights, when I try to go to sleep at night, I'll get these waves of queezy-ness. I feel like I'm going to throw up for a few minutes, then it goes away. It's usually followed by a lightheaded/dizzy feeling. Tonight I went to dinner with my DH and his kids, because today is his daughter's birthday, and after eating, I actually had to run to the bathroom because I thought I was going to vomit all over the table. The first thing my husband said was "are you pregnant? Is it too early to get a test on the way home?" I wanted to smack him. lol Been feeling waves of it since, but never threw up, and it passed pretty quickly. My breasts are tender, but that's usually normal for me with PMS. It is a little early for it to be happening yet, but it's normal, so I'm not counting it. My moods with PMS are usually very crazy. I cry over everything, and am sad all the time, but yesterday and today I have been pretty happy, I just get mad easily. I wanna talk crap all the time, and that's just not like me.

I don't know where I'm going with this, I guess it's just a rant. Haha!

Anyone have suggestions for a stay at home wife to keep busy and not focus so much on what symptoms I'm having? I really don't want to be let down again. I just want to be happy when it DOES happen.

This was so me! I hate the TWW b/c it seriously makes me *feel* preggo. After getting the let down a few cycles in a row, it softens the blow a little. At least for me. That being said, your strong nausea sounds really promising!! FX'd it's the beginning! My friend that just got her BFP had early nausea too.

It's horrible! I wish I could just forget it, and when it happens enjoy it....I'm my own worst enemy at this point!!! I feel like it might be too early to be getting symptoms, but I guess you can never be too sure....hopefully this nasty sick feeling is a good sign!

That is absolutely not pathetic, it's completely normal!
Since AF symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are so similar, it is really easy for us to convince ourselves that every twinge is an early pregnancy symptom. One of the downsides of hope, I suppose.

If there are any projects (anything from writing a short story to organizing your pantry) that you can throw yourself into, that is a good TWW distraction.

I hope you get your BFP in a few days!

I agree with the other ladies...you are not pathetic at all and we've all been there before. Your nausea does sound promising. I can't wait to see your beautiful

You are not pathetic at all

Mini projects are a great idea, reading, walking, hiking, planning a summer adventure

Thankyou for the encouraging words ladies.

DH seems to think I should be pregnant by now...He refuses to believe that it take a few tries! It's only our third cycle and he's getting frustrated because with his ex wife they got pregnant on accident, then tried for a second and got it first try. I tell him, he was much younger then, but he doesn't get it. -___-

[Caerus]

That seems to be a problem for a lot of ladies on this board, I'm afraid. Maybe DHs take it as a personal affront that their super swimmers don't work on the first try?
That has to be frustrating.

Im totally in the same boat as you! I hate the TWW. I have been having really bad spelled of nausea and dizzness, but I dont want to get my hopes up... but its soooo hard!
