is a SIGN that you could be pregnant?! (or ovulating too for that matter) Or is that just wacky old me?!

"Oooooo did I just feel a twinge? Maybe I'm pregnant?!"

(Squeezing boobs...) "Do my boobs feel different?"

(Staring at toilet paper...) "Is that pink or red? Is it stretchy (smearing it on fingers) or creamy? Hmmmmm...."

And some other misc. classics: Staring at calendar (or FF), counting days on fingers, entering in dates in Parentsplace Tools section for EDD, wondering when to test, wondering how to tell dh, wondering how to tell family/friends...

Just thought I'd poke some fun at myself for a minute - as I was wondering if these mild cramps I am having are from my stupid UTI or from something else! Smiles and GL for the weekend testers :-)

God, I do the EXACT same thing!!!! It drives me nuts because I just sit and convince myself and by doing so, am setting myself up for disappointment.

What a pain in the butt! Oh, wait! maybe thats O pain????? LOL

Happy Friday,

I thought I was a wacko! My dh is always saying to me "step away from the computer." Last cycle, I was so convinced I was pg that I had it all planned out how I would announce the news to family (on thanksgiving) how I would tell dh (wrap a present), how I would tell the people at work..how I would deal with not drinking at an upcoming wedding....etc. etc. then guess who came a knocking?????? Is there ANY WAY to avoid this every month??? It's funny but it can't be too healthy!!

Oh my gosh!! I honestly told my DH that something was wrong with me, I must be going insane, b/c I am convincing myself each month that I am pregnant. WHEW!!! There are others just like me. I am so tired of doing this to myself. I wont even chart, b/c I know I will go nuts at that point. I wish I could stop thinking about it sometimes.

Here's a good one...I have NO symptoms this month (compared to PMS normally), so I am convinced that I am PG. So even the absence of signs I have managed to over analyze :)

Thanks for thinking outloud!

Sounds like me to a T! I just finished reading all the responses and I laughed even harder when I read Becky's response of having had no signs this month which is different for her so now she is really convinced she's pg. I've done that too!

Thanks
