Hyper-Aware of Tiny Feelings
Once you start TTC, do you start paying attention to every tiny feeling your body has?
I don't really consider that we are TTC or that we are not, but now I seem to be connecting every tiny feeling to a "maybe I am pg" feeling. Like the past two days, I have cried at a story on NPR on the way to work (one about kids in Iraq and the other story was about Hurr. Katrina and the rebuilding of N.O.) and I teared up about 4,000 times just now in the Obama speech (granted I cry really easy so that was no surprise), but I still thought, "is it pg hormones?" Also, today I felt nauseous for about 5mins. I hadn't eaten yet during the day, so it was that I'm sure. There have been other instances too.
Geez, it's enough to drive you crazy I bet. I can only imagine those feelings just getting stronger and stronger as you keep trying each month. We are technically not even officially trying, so I can imagine how obsessive I will be when we do get more serious about it...

We are not trying yet, but I am SURE I am going to be hyper-aware! I am already really hyperaware, so it might be a little exaggerated once we start. Maybe we can support/settle down each other?

You are not alone! Another one: if my stomach hurts I wonder...is it that my body is getting ready for my period or for baby???

Oh my, I had the same thing happen this week. I am always on schedule at 28 days but this week I was 4 days late. I took 2 pregnancy tests and was so nervous and hopeful at the same time. I want to be healthy when it happens but if it happened while I was overweight I would be excited. I started on Friday afternoon, after I bought those tests and took them of course! Every month the past 4 months we have tried. I have been off of the pill for 2 yrs now. I am 28 yrs old and just not getting any younger, all of my friends have kids and my Best Friend is 5 months pregnant with a boy, I am so excited for her. These past couple of months I am so anxious when it comes close to the TOM, wondering the weird feelings I bring on to myself are pregnancy symptoms or just me wishing they were!
