I am literally going crazy! And it isn't the hormones it's the wait. But I just said "I'm sorry I've been so nuts lately" to my DH and his response was "it's ok I'm used to it, it's normal" I love him for that cause I don't feel as bad, but when since when is crazy normal??? I have 2 more days before my BETA and every twinge I feel in my uterus I go nuts thinking OH NO HERE COMES AF AGAIN!!! Then 3 seconds later the twinge is GONE! So then I don't know what to think. Am I hallucinating? Am I really feeling these twinges or am I imagining them? Anyone else feel like this?

OMG my dh said the same thing to me last night... only i think my issues have a little to do with me being hormonal lately... i love it that he loves me despite my craziness, but then again i don't want him to "be used to it" either LOL

hang in there!! you're almost there! :)

my DH is fantastic and has learned to 'laugh' at what we call the Clomid Crazies! He knows it's not me and he understands. Or as he says "I understand, that I'll never understand, but I still love you so I understand!"

Our bodies are so beat up with IF. All the drugs, tests, waiting, anticipation....it's a race we don't want to run, we fear we'll never win, and we keep jumping hurdle after hurdle. So it IS sorta normal that we're a bit nuts. But just know this is NOT the entirity of your life....it's just a time and place you are in right now.

I always have over analyzed my cycles as well. What does that twinge mean? Is that a BFP sign? I think after all the time that we have put into trying to get pregnant that all of us would be a little crazy. I think once we finally have our babies we will all go back to our own sense of "normal". Are we ever going to go back to the way we were before IF? No, I think IF has changed us all and we are better and stronger women because of it.

I think crazy became normal the minute we started down this road called "Fertility Treatments." At least you are not alone. I can only speak for myself, but I have been crazy too! :-)

Honey I agree with "Mrsolsenk12"...we have to stop trying to overanalyze or symptoms cause it DOES drive us crazy! I did that last month for every little thing I felt...researching it on the internet even for hours a day. Just to be disappointed with AF.

So this month I vowed to myself not to overthink things and not to drive myself nuts! It's torture I know...but I'm kinda of just trying to ignore it and not think too much! I'm due for AF in 2 days...and every day I try NOT to over analyze my symptoms in HOPES that it helps me keep my sanity! Whether or not it will work, I don't know (I'm crazy normally LOL!)

I hope so much you have a BFP and your mind can be at ease for a while and just enjoy a pregnancy :)

Keep your head up sweetie!
