How to keep your hopes... down?

Question

My husband and I are currently ttc, and I feel like I have some early pregnancy symptoms. The thing is, I'm not sure if it's not just my body pretending to have symptoms because I want this so bad. :/

I don't want to get my hopes up too high because I'm afraid I'll be disappointed if/when I get a negative. Any advice to calm down and not get carried away?

Answer

I know exactly what you mean. I'm the same. Every month my period causes me to feel nauseous ... Such a cruel symptom to tease someone TTC with. 
I've resided myself to thinking I'm not pregnant until I get my bfp. I just don't see it happening anytime soon. But fingers crossed and baby dust.

Answer

I feel exactly the same. It's so hard to not think about it and get excited about the possibility of being pregnant. I try to keeping busy and not think about the symptoms that i may or may not have.

Hang in there! We all need to stick together!

Answer

Haha no because I'm the exact same way! My period is due tomorrow and last week I took two tests both negative but I swear I'm pregnant I feel like I am!! I'll be in denial until my period comes I'm sure. Wish I had advice but know you're not alone!

Answer

I wish I had some advice for you :( I try to remember that pregnancy symptoms and menstrual symptoms are basically the same. So until I get a positive pregnancy test I tell myself it's my period. Not saying it works all the time but it kind of helps to keep you from getting too worked up.
