The BIG mistake

I made a huge mistake today.....I googled "trying for a baby", and any woman who has ever done that, will understand what a minefield it is. There are woman out there who are so obsessed with trying that they've come up with their own secret language:

They aren't trying for a baby, they are ttc(trying to conceive)
It isn't a husband, its a DH(dearest husband)
Its not a period, its AF(Aunt Flo)

There are Internet forums where woman scrutinise every thing, and to be honest, I almost fell into the trap. I was feeling a little sleepy a few days ago, googled "fatigue in early pregnancy", they almost convinced me I was pregnant. Then, I kid you not(damn, I'm as bad as "THEM") I had an outbreak of pimples, so I headed to trusty google "pimples in early pregnancy" and sure enough, you get them. I had a bout of hiccoughs, and yet again google pointed me in the direction of it being an early pregnancy sign..........It all got a bit much, so I started googling the opposites of "symptoms", and I came up with positive results.

In conclusion, its normal to feel fatigued, yet its also normal to suffer from insomnia. Its normal to get morning sickness, but some woman don't get it. Some woman get pimples, some woman don't. Sometimes feeling bloated can be read as an early pregnancy sign, yet, its also a sign of your menstruation, oh excuse me, its a sign AF is on her way. Read an interesting comment that the body prepares itself for pregnancy after ovulation anyway, so most woman experience "pregnancy symptoms" every month.....we just call it PMS. So I'm none the wiser to what is actually a hard and fast sign. In our early twenties, when we had the scare, we'd take comfort in PMS symptoms, and here years later, we interpret those same signals as a possible pregnancy. Besides a late period, I don't think there are any other symptoms of pregnancy, its all in our heads.

Its a realisation that has brought much comfort to me, I can stop analysing everything my body does, the only signs I'm looking for are a late period and a positive test, or sorry, make that a BFP(Big Fat Positive).

I'm really hoping it doesn't take to long for husband DH
and I to fall pregant, because honestly I'm not looking forward to getting a CB(Cycle Buddy).
