My SO and I have been TTC for about 6 months now. During the first few months of TTC and tracking I was having symptoms and getting hopeful only to be let down. The past two months Ive still tracked everything but I didn't get excited about any weird symptoms - I figured "if it happens, it happens." TTC isnt as easy as people make it seem. ? Well this month I'm REALLY confused. My last period was kind of odd. Instead of my normal 5 days - it was only 3 and now I'm about a week and a half from my expected period but I'm more bloated than ever before (not even kidding) and I keep getting this tightening feeling in my lower belly and its too early to be AF signs ⬅ I'm too stubborn to get excited because of the fact that I've been let down every month when Aunt Flo visits. Im really hopeful that this is our month but im also trying NOT to be hopeful bc I dont want to be let down.

Please tell me I'm not the only one in this boat?
