this post is to try to clear my mind of all the 'symptoms'. i figure if i list them & look at them, maybe they will go away. of course- testing on sunday will probably be the only way to really get rid of them!
1. my boobs are tender & heavy. i am not constantly punching on them
to check if they are still tender or hurt- thry just do. (chalking up
to progesterone)
2. i can feel my uterus or i am at least very aware of it. (of course i
am aware of it- it has been the main focus of my life for almost a
year!)
3. slight cramps today. (umm- completely normal for 4 days before af
shows up)
4. i swear i am smelling things more intensly. (this one is completely
in my head)
5. i am bloated. (just throwing it in there)
6. i have been getting turned off by food lately- today i really wanted
a little chocolate & the thought of actually eating it made me
feel ill. (this better fucking mean i'm pregnant because if not that
is one cruel, cruel joke- i can always eat some chocolate!)
okay- i am now going to stop thinking about these completely. that's the thing about hope- i am glad she's back because what if this IS the cycle- i would want my pregnancy to start by being hopeful. but if it's not the cycle the letdown will be that much worse.
but i think i am okay with that. i know i can & will pick myself up & move on. i know that i can take these next few cycles before starting testing & possibly treatment. i know that in the long run a couple more cycles mean nothing. i seem to have found my faith again- i do believe that i'll get pregnant. i just need to keep miss hope on a short leash & not let her run wild...

Let her run wild!!
Wishing you much fertile success :)
thanks- but the problem with letting her run wild is the inevitable letdown. like i said above- the crash is much much worse when you actually have a lot of hope. a little goes a long way.
I have to say that I try my hardest not to get too hopeful for self-protection as you say. And it's not that I try to think negatively about each cycle either, because if I thought that I'd always get a BFN why go on? Ugh...the 2ww is just a big game of emotional management that is impossible to win.
hoping for a bright positive
