Trust me we all turn into these crazy baby obsessed lunatics! I'm a vet nurse and one cycle I decided to take my own blood and run it on a hpt to see if it was positive. Looking back I was Totally loco! I find distraction is the only thing that helps. I throw myself into work, books, my animals.. Anything that isn't baby related. I allow myself like 30 mins a day for my baby forum stuff but that's it.
Now I guess the next thing is you need to prepare yourself that it may take you 6-12 months to concieve which is completely normal. So try not to be too heartbroken if this cycle isn't it. Hope for the best but prepare yourself for the worst. Good luck!

Hey... and sometimes it can take even longer... but you're young, so you've got that on your side. Honestly, try to stay away from the videos. They are guaranteed to make you think you're pregnant when you're not or get you weeping. Think about being in this for the long haul... you've got to relax or you will make yourself crazy. Go and do some things that will be hard once you have a baby - meet with friends - go to the cinema - take a long walk - go out and eat! Women have to get good at waiting. We do a lot of it. Learn to dance the tango or learn to knit or make macaroons. It'll be awesome.

yes im completely with you. i have 2 children already so you would think i would be used to this but waiting for the positive test is a nightmare, infact im such a POAS addict i buy them in bulk from ebay so i can start testing from 7dpo until i either get a pos test or my period shows up. xxx yes nut case lol. xxx
