It's hard I do the same thing. Just try not to think about symptoms and such until you have a late period so then you don't create them. As for getting excited there rly is nothing u can do about that. No matter how hard I try I always get super excited and get my hopes crushed.

I am tcc as well baby number 5. My last pregnancy we just stopped thinking about things and had a night of summer drinking at my mother in law house and that 4th of July I woke up exhausted and decided to test BFP. This time around I am tracking my BBT so I'm really not symptom spotting but praying for a BFP

@mrshatch, it helps a lot when you know your cyle and when you are ovulating. you have one day once a month to conceive, if you figure out when you are ovulating instead of having sex random days it helps. or wait for it to happen. took my husband and I.... 3 years..... when I gave up that's when it happened.... I did get pregnant every year but sadly I had a miss..... so don't give up and celebrate when your prego. and take prenatal pills and eat healthy.... u have to do those and exercise

its hard especially since I want it so bad....

my advice is to just stop tracking everything and stop trying. the stress will make it harder to conceive. I stopped trying, went to a party and got wasted and my husband and I conceived that night. so I would just have fun with your man and stop trying. it's easier said than done, I know

so I just keep getting my hopes up till it does

unfortunately, you just gotta let it happen. be patient it will happen, the more I stress yourself out the less like you'll get pregnant.
