Trying not to get my hopes up

VENT

This month my wife and I happened to have intercourse during her fertile window. We haven't *actively* tried for some time now. We haven't really been tracking her ovulation either. I just track her menstrual cycle, so I know when to stock the house with certain snacks or high iron foods. Lol

That being said, we had sex on like the 6th, which I'm pretty sure was ovulation day.

Today, which is 6dpo, she had been having uterine cramping, with some nausea, and lethargy. Now, I like to think that I have a good idea of how my wifes cycle goes. These symptoms are unusual for this point in her cycle.

I keep telling myself "don't get your hopes up." But I can't help but pray several times a day she is pregnant.

(I'm also writing this at like midnight half asleep, so if some sentences are nonsensical, that would be why. Lol)
