BFN...

Haribo1

I should be getting AF tomorrow since she usually comes on 15 DPO.  I don't know if those feelings of failure and disappointment ever get easier.  I feel like the sharp knife in the chest hurts more and more each cycle.  My temp spike today is false since I had some wine with dinner last night.  What makes it even more frustrating is that my cycles are so freaking long that I probably will not ovulate again until October.  It is so aggravating because although I have been off BCPs since December and trying since January, I am only on cycle 5 =(   I know it ain't over until AF shows, etc etc etc, but I already feel crampy. ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!

I'm sorry, but lots of people on these boards say they are crampy, expecting AF and then. . . BFP.

If you are right, hang in there. . . but I hope you're not!

I'm sorry.

I understand how frustrating it is having long cycles.  Unmedicated my usually average out to 40+days it's frustrated waiting and wondering.

 

Hopefully AF doesn't show but if she does give her a swift kick in the caboose.

I'm sorry, that stinks. How long were you on BCP? I was on them for about 8 years. It took about 9 months of being off them before I was able to conceive (ended in miscarriage) but then I conceived my daughter a few months later.

I've had several BFNs while trying this time and it sucks.

Thanks ladies.  I really appreciate your words, and it's wonderful to be able to vent and say all the things you don't really say aloud.

I am sorry! I had AF cramps prior to getting my BFP. I would have bet the house that AF was on her way. Hang in there! Sending good thoughts your way!

I was on BCP for a little more than 10 years.  I am really sorry for your loss. Thank you very much for  sharing your story with me.  It gives me hope

I'm sorry. BFN's never stop sucking.

I'm so sorry you're going through this stress! I'm so hoping AF doesn't show up for you and what you're feeling are symptoms of a BFP.

Everyone would always tell me cramps were a sign of a possible BFP and I never belived it, but this cycle I had the worst cramps I have had in years. More in the lower back, they woke me up out of my sleep. So I have my fingers crossed that this is your BFP!
