I can feel the ttc obsession starting. I was hoping we could casually ttc this go around to avoid the stress from the last time. You know I had myself convinced I was pregnant from last cycle?! As in AF came and went and I still took TWO pregnancy tests??! And I was considering taking another one?! That's bad. Really bad. Granted in my defense the first one was expired and the second one was almost expired, and I had some pretty convincing symptoms, but part of it just turned out to be a stomach virus.

And now here we are, we missed this cycle because dh and I were sick, and I'm already stressing over how long it will be until I even have the possibility of seeing a bfp. *sigh* So much for casual! Hah! Should have known better. Let the ttc rollercoaster begin.

The ttc rollercoaster sucks! lol We've only really tried two cycles this year and I'm already hating it. The first cycle I was 95% sure I was pregnant for all these silly reasons. I was ready to tell everyone before I even saw two lines. Then I took about 5 tests starting way too early. I hate waiting and reading in to every thing. Now I'm just charting to confirm ovulation and then stop so I can't look at my chart and read into my temps. I also am not keeping any tests in the house and won't test until 15 dpo.

Where are you in this cycle? I'm on CD 1. I usually O around CD 15.

I don't even know what cd I am on... I'm about three weeks in and just Oed.

Isn't it silly how delusional we can get! Driving ourselves nuts!

Good luck girls!!!

I'm still not sure we'll ever try for #2, but I always tell myself that if we do, we'll just NTNP and see if it happens. But to be honest, I'm not sure I'd be able to do that. I'd probably want to chart and obsess again.

I tell myself I'm not going to chart. I don't know how I would since Charlotte still wakes up in the night, and on a very random schedule at that. Resi isn't Oliver still waking up? How are you charting like that?

I might eventually use my opk. I don't even remember what it is called -- I have the electronic clear blue easy one. We got pregnant the second cycle we used it last time. Coincidence? Maybe. But after a year you will try anything!

I remember going through a little bit of that the first time around and I was casually NTNP. One month I had heartburn (which I never had in my life) in the 2ww and I was sure I was pregnant but AF showed. The month I became pregnant, nothing so exciting happened.
