Think I'm losing my mind.....

I'm new here...my husband and I are going to start to TTC in June. My problem is that now that we've talked about getting pregnant and I've been reading about it here, I think I'm pregnant every single month! I'm on the pill and have been for 5 years and I have never been pregnant. But now, it seems as if my hormones are shifting or something. Either I'm crazy and I just think I'm pregnant all the time, or my hormones are acting differently and my PMS symptoms are more like pregnancy symptoms now. Has anyone experienced this? I'm even having incredibly sore boobs (they used to get tender but not this bad!), food aversions, nausea, and baby dreams. Please tell me someone else has gone through this and make me feel better!

Jami, that's me extactly! When I KNOW I'm pregnant... I'm not. When I'm CERTAIN I'm not pregnant... I AM!

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. I kept buying pregnancy tests and using them up, and my husband jokingly told me he was going to buy stock in pregnancy tests!

I think its the hormones. Particularly, progesterone. I was on the pill about 15 years ago and while I don't remember thinking I was pregnant, I have thought that a LOT with the mirena IUD recently. Anybody know if it releases more progesterone as time goes on? It wasn't like this when I got it. I'm 3 1/2 years into its lifespan of 5 years, now.

I'm not on the pill but I get pregnancy symptoms every cycle before my period. I get nausea, heartburn, tender breasts, metal mouth, sleepy, etc. A lot of PMS symptoms mirror pregnancy symptoms.
