My husband and I have been trting for 8 months now and it's been a journey. I've skipped multiple periods, only to discover it was stress-related. We've had to fit in trying between his two jobs. But this last week I've had some seriously promising signs (discharge, slight cramping, a little bloating) and I can't stop myself from getting my hopes up. I still have another week before I know for sure, but my hopes are already soaring.

How do you manage your expectations in this situation?
