Oh goody - just my luck...

I'm at work today - although I don't know why, I'm completely useless this week - and I'm sitting next to a co-worker who is only in this office once a month.  I'm not close with him at all - I'm not even sure he knows who I am.  Just found out his wife is 8 and a half months pregnant and this will be the last time he's in this office until after the baby is born.  So naturally, I have people stopping by his desk constantly asking about his wife and congratulating him and then of course offering their own stories of childbirth.  Why today?!

I'm feeling so defeated right now.  I have a strong feeling this cycle is a bust as I woke up this morning with almost NO symptoms.  My bbs are slightly sore, but nothing like they've been for the past several days.  I'm not cramping, I'm not aching - I feel perfectly.....normal.

I know I shouldn't, but I'm Googling my symptoms - and lack thereof - and it's not looking good.  I wish I had stayed home today, but I have a big meeting this afternoon I really can't miss.

Re: Oh goody - just my luck...

  • Hugs sweetie don't give up hope yet, symptoms or lack thereof don't mean you're not pg! I didn't feel pg leading up to my BFP , heck I didn't feel pg until 9 or 10 weeks! I felt very "normal". 

     

    Be nice to yourself today, try to stay positive. I'm pulling for you!!!

  • Big hugs. Symptoms come and go, so don't give up just yet! You can wake up tomorrow and your boobs will be in horrible pain! It's still so hard to tell right now which are the real symptoms and which are from the progesterone.

    Hugs sweetie don't give up hope yet, symptoms or lack thereof don't mean you're not pg! I didn't feel pg leading up to my BFP , heck I didn't feel pg until 9 or 10 weeks! I felt very "normal". 

     

    Be nice to yourself today, try to stay positive. I'm pulling for you!!! 

    This. I would've bet a lot of money on me not being PG before my beta came in. I had no symptoms before my BFP. Hang in there, Sweetie!

  • Don't give up yet.  I still don't have any pregnancy symtoms other than a big belly.  Never threw up, never had sore boobs, never got tired....genetics play a factor into how pregnancy treats you and I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.  Hopefully you are too. 

    TTC Since 10/08 4 IUIs=BFNx4
    IVF#1=BFP!! Twins!!
    Bradley and Billy born and lost on 2/2/11 at 19w2d due to pPROM/PTL. I miss you, little angels.

  • Deep deep breathes! First it takes true symptoms about 6 weeks to kick in, so about 2 weeks after you get a BFP! Second, all the meds you are on are not going to give an accurate feeling of how your body truely feels. Now, just remind me of what I am telling you in about 5 weeks when I am freaking out ??

    I'm late with this response, but still wanted to offer hugs.  I understand why you're feeling down, and I'm not going to tell you to keep the faith -- we'll do that for you.  Hang in there sweets.  You're crazy strong and you're doing a terrific job.   I hope your meeting went well.
