Crazy Symptom Spotter (think I need a slap!)

Bit of back story: I'm 32 years old and TTC for 2.5 years before I finally got my BFP in January this year. Unfortunately it ended in MC at 12 weeks (still devastated).

In the whole 2.5 years that we TTC I never really got too stressed about it. Obviously I really really wanted to get pregnant and I did opks but I was never obsessed (unless AF was late and got my hopes up).

This month is the first month that we've tried again since the MC. I'm only 4dpo and I'm driving myself crazy!! I've just spent 2 hours googling every tiny possible symptom. It's as silly as: I sneezed twice yesterday morning and twice again this morning and I've actually written it down Blush . I'm also recording my resting heart rate ...which has gone up today so that got me excited. It's on my mind 24/7. So much so that I haven't been able to sleep the past 2 nights. I'm officially obsessed.

I feel as though the chances of me even being pregnant is so slim due to previous length of TTC. Plus my body isn't fully recovered from the MC yet so I'm not really sure why I'm getting my hopes up like this. I feel angry at myself. Anyone else a crazy symptom spotter or also in 2ww?? x

Sorry for your loss Flowers

Now, step away from Google, that way madness lies. It's highly unlikely that conception made you sneeze Grin

P.s. I am a massive hypocrite as I google constantly about ovulation. I do try not to symptom spot though as I'm yet to be convinced that anything before implantation is a real pregnancy related symptom. I don't believe that it's actually very common to have symptoms straight away at all and mostly it's all in people's heads and wishful thinking. I get it though, it's hard not to get swept up in the madness.

I'm 1dpo

Thank you BasinHaircut
I think I've just had a mad few days ...plus I've been off work so that's left me with way too much time on my hands which is never good in these situations. My behaviour has actually shocked me, because as I said, I wasn't like this at all before my first BFP. I'm like some kind of addict now! I've managed to keep myself busy this afternoon so haven't reached for Google in 6 hours.
And you're right, sneezing won't have anything to do with it Grin ...unless I sneeze again tomorrow morning!! Hahaha. xx

Obviously if you sneeze 3 days in a row it's triplets Grin

Fingers crossed for you to get a BFP soon though.
