Hot take: TTC is like COVID

Jillian

Ok hear me out. I was having this convo with my husband last night. We’re on our 5th cycle TTC and as much as I try not to symptom spot, it’s so hard not to!

So I was venting to my husband being like “the two week wait is so annoying. It’s like “ooh that was a symptom, but is it just me, my incoming period, or could it be a sign?” And I was telling him how it’s annoying because so many early pregnancy symptoms (cramps, boobs hurting, moodiness, tired, etc) that you hear about also line up with PMS. I was like “it’s a lot like Covid, where most of the symptoms lined up with allergies or a cold (coughing, sneezing, fever, etc). It’s not until you had the big ones like loss of sense of smell or taste that you could go “ok yup, definitely covid”. Like how you don’t really know for sure until you finally get that positive pregnancy test.

Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
