Whyyyyyyy is it so hard not to symptom spot?!

Question

Uggghhhhh!!!!!!! I told myself I wouldn’t read into anything but it’s so hard. I just seem more in tune with my body. 5 DPO. Anybody else??

Answer

It is SO hard! This month, every time I thought I noticed a symptom I tried to think of other reasons I could be experiencing that symptom. That way I talked myself out of thinking every tiny thing was my body saying ooh it’s a baby! It helped a little bit so I didn’t get my hopes up as much.

Answer

It's natural that we symptom spot. We are after all trying to create a little human :) .. us women are awful for wanting to know at the earliest opportunity whether we are pregnant or not and it's really not at all helpful. I tend to restrain myself by keeping a few things in mind... it keeps me ticking and not symptom spotting until at least 9dpo, I'll share my points below and see if you can incorporate them :)
First is first... implantation occurs between 6-12dpo so no symptoms can be related to pregnancy or symptom spotted. 
Even if implanting at 6dpo no symptoms would be apparent until around 8dpo
Even implanting at 6dpo it's highly likely that no test would pop positive until around 8dpo
You may not implant until 12dpo in which case you may not get a positive til 16dpo
An awful lot of women (me included in my last pregnancy) don't actually get any symptoms at all before their period is missed.. for me in my last pregnancy I didn't get anything at all until I was almost 7 weeks pregnant
Hope all this helps :) best of luck sweetie 💕

I’m losing it! I can’t tell the difference between PMS or early preggo symptoms. I’m trying onto relax but I’m over analyzing every pimple, pee trip and pain to death!

Answer

I TTC'd for 3 years, saw symptoms every other cycle. Then when I finally did get pregnant, I had no symptoms at all except back pain and late period. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I made myself crazy haha. I think it is a little bit natural though. You’re suddenly so much more aware of your body for better or worse.
