encouragement

Sweetest116

I'm not usually THIS down and out about a BFN.  Normally I sulk for ten minutes and then peel myself off the bathroom floor and go on with my day.  Today is hard.  Harder than normal.  I feel like we're doing everything right - and then my body fails me.  Chart stalk me if you want... my temp is below coverline now and I'm only 10DPO (my LP is 15 days) and I've already started to lightly spot.  I hate knowing I'm out this early in my LP, it just makes the days feel like they're going slower just to mock me.

I need some encouragement.  For the first time ever I actually feel like I want to be done.  I'm so defeated...

So sorry you are feeling down today. The temp could mean an implantation dip. You never know!

((HUGS))

((hugs))  Days like you're having are the worst, and spotting is the devil. Give yourself a day to two to feel like crap, then try to pick yourself up and carry on. So much easier said than done. And like the @tuscanbride2007 said, there's still hope!

FX for an implantation dip & spotting. If that isn't the case big hugs. BFNs  :-q

Thanks everyone... I'm so not optimistic that it's implantation.  Every cycle I spot, every cycle my temps crash, makes it hard to have hope.  I will just allow myself to be for a day or two and then try and get myself excited about the challenge of another cycle... more testing is in my future I'm sure...

I'm sorry, hun. Luteal phases can suck it. I hate them too. I hate being robbed of an actual 2ww every cycle because the stupid lp didn't get the memo of what it's supposed to do. (hugs)

Something I do that you may want to try. It's not very accurate but I temp until I O and a few days after to confirm O and then I stop. I know most people would tell you that's not the way to really see trends but I would go crazy every month over analyzing every temp drop or spike after O to see if I was KU. It really works for me because I know I O'd I just don't become a crazy version of myself trying to see if it was implantation dip or AF dip.

When I was temping I stopped after I had the constant 3 days to confirm O otherwise I would go insane.

Just an update! It was NOT an implant dip, it was my body being a huge tease.  I'm spotting heavily now, with a BFN... so just cruising right into AF.  Onto cycle 10, I think.. 10? 11?  I don't care to count anymore.
