OMC: Feeling discouraged

wanderlust508wanderlust508 member
in Trouble TTC
Saw my acupuncturist today. He said that if anything had taken, he wasn't feeling it in my pulses yet. I'm 8dpiui today. This just makes me feel so discouraged because if implantation happened, I feel like he would have felt it in my pulses. That is supposed to be a very sensitive indicator of early pregnancy. I know it's early but somehow I still have that sinking feeling ..... Sigh. Not how I wanted to feel going into the weekend.

Anyone else need to get something off their chest?

    I'm sorry your appointment left you feeling discouraged. On TTGP they always say implantation can be from 7-10 dpo on average with some being before or after so maybe you haven't implanted yet! I hope this cycle works!



    I would like to get off my chest that I feel so stupid about: that I keep hoping I'm pregnant since I haven't gotten a period after finishing prometrium. My DH is no help because he keeps saying that must be why I haven't gotten a period yet (I stopped the pills 12 days ago). I know it's so stupid to think it's even possible but I can't help it! I know when AF actually comes I'm going to be crushed but logically I know I haven't O'd. Well, thanks for letting me get that omc!

    @rainbowbridge14‌ I'm sorry for your bfn and crazy cycle frustrations. I called the RE the other day when they said to and if I don't start a period by Monday I have to call and go in for a shot of something (I'm not sure what) to get it started. Thanks for the support!

    edit: sentence wasn't clear!

    @catlover790‌ - I'm sorry! I can relate, last month I thought the same thing after stopping prometrium. My AF didn't take as long as yours to show but still, while I was waiting it only fed my hope (even though my beta had already come back negative! Hope you feel better soon. Hugs.

    I agree with previous posters, at 8DPIUI it's highly possible implantation wouldn't have occurred yet. And even if it did, Asian pulse reading is not going to notice HCG levels that are a few points above normal. They know if you're on your period, or pregnant enough to have symptoms. :)
