I am a very conflicted person when it comes to over thinking haha. Part of me over-analyze every time I feel different. I now even look into whether my dog's acting weird. But part of me don't want to over think at all so that I am not as disappointed when I don't get a BFP. So I'm constantly going between 'Oh this is nothing' and 'Oh could this be?!'

I was definitely guilty of that. TTC is one of those things that is really hard not to over think.

A positive OPK or near positive also helps

@HolisticMama: I usually count a near-positive as positive because I don't always see a true positive, but I know I ovulate. you may be in the same boat! like I generally get a near positive in the afternoon and see a temp rise the next day. and I've at least started 5 pregnancies so we're doing something right . . .

but to the original post, I over think EVERYTHING at this point. I try to remind myself that in truth probably not much of what I do or don't do really matters, it's the miracle (or lack thereof) of biology and I can only do so much. I try to minimize forced BD to just what is needed and I try to ignore all my symptoms (this last part never works of course, I am 8dpo and going nuts!).

I definitely wish it were possible to turn it off. it takes up too much of my mental space.

I certainly have my moments, but I'm trying to lay off the over-analyzing because it got me no where last cycle (plus with weaning who knows what is going on with my body). Our goal is to DTD EOD or more and time will tell...

Everything this month...we are taking a break from IF meds and such and I did not OPKs this month and really just let it all go.....but now I am 22days from CD1 and over thinking it ALL.... Did I ovulate? did we BD near CD14?...bahhhhhhh.....lol

@FaithFertility: yes we didn't trigger and I wanted to make sure our TI was at the right time. but at least I didn't start testing until CD14 so it didn't stress me out (I actually managed to ovulate on time for me at CD16!)
I hope your relaxation month produces good news when is AF due do you think?

@bhbee: Yay, sounds like you got it this cycle! I'm now wishing I did OPKs...lol but I'm going to say AF is due 3/2 CD28..... I've not ovulated on my own in over 5 months, but hey anything can happen right?!?!?

@FaithFertility: I hope your body was still in the groove from your meds and ovulated on time! I mean you hear crazy stories like that so it definitely happens. fingers crossed!

@bhbee: that is what I'm hoping for!!!! Fingers crossed for you too!!!
