Hysterical Pregnancy?

So my husband and I have started working on baby #2.... YAY! I think however, that I am making these pregnancy symptoms appear in hopes that it becomes real. I am constipated, pee a lot, heart burn, cramps, mood swings, fatigue and extreme bloating. But the one thing that i haven't had is breast tenderness. That was my 1st sign with my ds and so i feel like because I don't have that sign that I'm not pregnant. I don't feel pregnant anyway, but i have some symptoms. LOL idk do you think i'm making things up in my head that i want to happen? I have not missed my period yet, it's due to come this weekend. It would only be a week after conception so a test wouldn't show up yet. Sorry im impatient... just a little insight would be nice :) thanks!

It's super common to trick yourself into pregnancy symptoms... When we were ttc Delilah, the only month I DIDN'T have "symptoms" was the month I was pregnant, lol!
Good luck!!!

 yes you could be having all these symptoms because you want it so badly, it's hard when your trying to be patient, but really that's all you can do, and keep trying! :)

I had "pregnancy symptoms" every month DH & I tried for #2 which took 22 months. It was torture.

Yes that would be torture! You poor thing! I guess it's time to just take it easy and have an "if it happens it happens" attitude. The thing that sucks is that i took a test yesterday and there was a SUPER thin VERY faint line! I was so excited but then i thought a line that thin may just me my eyes or an evaporating line. My husband saw it though so i know i wasn't hallucinating! lol I took two more though and they were both neg, one with the morning urine too which is supposed to be strongest but, oh well. Maybe next time. Thanks for listening ladies!!!!!!

Not every pregnancy is the same.  I had different 'first signs" with each pregnancy.  With my daughter it was a missed period, nothing else that was going on showed up on my radar.  With my son it was EXHAUSTION!! And, with our third it was, well, in that case, it was hearing the heartbeat when I went in for my yearly check up and the Dr. noticed that all the signs were there. (I was 8weeks and 5 days... how did I miss that!)
