However, another weird thing has happened again...yeah, my brain has been messing up again with the thought of being pregnant. For some reason even before I got news about my friend's baby's birth, my twisted brain has been "telling me" about that I might get pregnant this month. Crazy, right?
The brain has been telling me that during the 2ww (actually longer than 2ww 'coz my cycle is longer than 30 days) I've been producing so much mucus (more than usual) and my appetite has been over the top, yadda yadda yadda...but now that it's bugging me so much, I can't help but to postpone sending a job application letter 'coz if I am pregnant, then there's no way they'd hire me anyway and I would even reconsider doing this kind of job that I'm about to apply for. I mean, after all it's not THAT easy to get myself pregnant in the first place, so I'm not going to do any physical work that I think may endanger my pregnancy.
You see? Crazy thoughts again...Well, at least this time those thoughts don't come with envy or bitterness towards others. However, I'd sometimes REALLY like to push a stop button so that I can get down from this tiring roller-coaster ride - just as I thought I had stopped riding it, here I go again...
P.S. One time I was tempted to browse through "pregnancy symptoms" again, but I managed to stop myself even before that thought fully developed in my head. Even though I may not be able to stop myself from riding the roller-coaster of hell, I can still control some other things. GO, ME!!!
P.P.S. I think one of the most frustrating parts of infertility is that it doesn't seem as though we could really control ourselves so well - our feelings, our "crazy" thoughts, our obsession...despite our best effort, we still fail...maybe that's one reason why it feels so yucky...

I keep telling myself not to sign up for fall classes because "This could be the month it happens" and I don't want to be going to school and puking all semester!! Arg....I try not to let this determine how I live my life or let my put stuff on hold but sometimes I can't help it.
ReplyDeleteI just feel like I should be pregnant already. This one person asked me when we were planning on having kids and I said, "In four months. I wanted to have one in November."
Good luck getting off that roller coaster!
Phoebe: Yeah, it's simply insane...I had postponed going back to school already two years ago and last year...this year I didn't get a chance to apply 'coz I got a part-time summer job.
ReplyDeleteWishing you THE BEST in your IF journey!!!!!
And yeah, I hope I can get off this roller-coaster ASAP he he he...
