Question

Do you think I may be making them up?

I have kind of wondered if because want this BFP so badly that I may be making up or convincing myself that I am having early pregnancy symptoms. Can we do that to ourselves?? I am really starting to wondering if I have done it to myself. I have the back ache (but I had inflammation before), burping/gas, tiredness, restlessness (could be my anxiety), nipples are sensitive, CM is really wet (before I needed assistance/lube with LM), yesterday some of my favourite food tastes funny, and slight nausea, and I could be wrong but I ??think?? that I am peeing more often but not overly..... What are your thoughts? Think I am being too hard on myself or am just kidding myself....????

I've been there and done that many many months in the past almost year. I don't ever think I'm making the symptoms up, but I think I'm paying too close attention to anything out of the ordinary for me. I haven't gotten pregnant yet, but each cycle I do the same thing as you. I like this site, but sometimes I think it's bad for me because I read others symptoms before they get their BFP so I start overanalyzing every little symptom I have and wait anxiously for my BFP. Like I said, hasn't happened yet, but I've gotta stop thinking about every little thing. I drive myself crazy. Lol. Hoping since it's Christmas my mind will be super distracted.

I think you may be right, I am just hoping that the BFP will show. And I am same as you with this site. I like reading everything everyone posts, but it driving me nuts wanting 10-14DPO to come and I don't think it is healthy of me. Thank you so much!! I need to just learn how to sit back and just let it go!!

yes, allof those symptoms may be just symptoms. . .:( however, cramping was always a big indicator for me in early pregnancy-- with all 6 of my pregnancies that was a big give away. good luck hon. . hope all of your symptoms work out!!! i know the waiting is agonizing. .

I think we all do it, not so much make them up but we pay more attention to every little ache and twincge I. Our body. I've vowed this cycle that I'm not testing and I'm not symptom tracking! I'm even not going to be on here once my iui has been done
