First round of "natural fertility" waiting period loosing my mind

[Nikki7732]

Hello I'm new to this community and I am 8dpo after taking letrozole and having a hcg 10,000 mg shot. I am loosing my mind waiting to be able to take a legit hpt. I took one yesterday just to see what a positive test looks like. Has anyone been through this? I can't stop thinking about the time passing till the 28th and questioning every weird thing my body does. One minute I feel like I could be but then I feel like I'm not. All my friends have been prego naturally and my husband has a child from a previous marriage that lives with us. I'm getting depressed that it's not going to work for me. Please help.

You've came to the right place!  Sooo many of us have been through this.... we're here for you!  Try to relax and vent to us!  That's what we're here for =o)  Good luck to you and I hope the 28th brings a BFP!!!

The waiting is the absolute worst.  This is easier said than done, but my advice is try to do as much as you can to distract yourself.  Always have a book to read,  start planning a trip somewhere so you can research all about that place, get a bunch of dvds of tv shows that you haven't seen or movies and just try to occupy your mind in any way you can so the time passes.  Each night before you go to bed, tell yourself that one more day has passed.    I don't think trying to read symptoms will really tell you anything because they can all be read one way or the other.

Good luck to you!
