Do you still get upset with AF

MoFree · June 2009

Realistically, I have about a .00001% of conceiving naturally due to severe MFI, but I still got upset this mornng when AF appeared. It's just not going to happen naturally for us, but I still had this fantasy yesterday that somehow I would be late and would conceive without ART.

It's back to the reality of IF now and hoping that DH will eventually come on board with IVF.

Not a month goes by where I'm not at least a little sad! I think it's totally normal and I know we all hope for the miracle! Sometimes reality is the worst!

every single time. It's so bad that I've been avoiding having sex with my husband during O time b/c I don't want to get my hopes up this month. It's better to just think we had bad timing than to think that we can't get pg on our own.

YES! Some months are easier/harder than others but I definitely still get upset.

MoFree · June 2009

Thanks, ladies. The reality that we won't be able a baby on our own really sucks and some time worse than others. I stopped keeping track or even wanting to be aware of when I ovulate.

I know that our chances of conceiving on our own are non-existent, yet I still hold out hope for that miracle BFP. So yes, I am disappointed every month I see AF / TI didn't work. I feel like each month it is a reminder that time continues to pass w/o being k/u.

Yes. Just had a breakdown yesterday. Luckily my DH wasn't here. I like to be by myself when I get upset over IF. I totally agree with one of the PP who said she'd almost rather avoid BD'ing during O so at least you're in control of the inevitable BFN. unsure if that made sense. of course, I always BD when I think I'm ovulating. I know I actually ovulated on the side where I have a functioning tube (per monitoring during clomid this month), so I think it made it especially harder this month that it still didn't happen.

I don't remember the last time I didn't cry when she showed up...

I don't get sad anymore, I just get angry. I really do expect it every month.

I am sad when AF comes unless I have a neg beta then I am happy so I can start a new cycle! GL with your DH and IF journey! I hope its a short one!

We've stopped treatments and are in the process of adopting, and I still get hopeful every cycle.

CD 1 is always hard for me. Despite my immense pessimism, I always have some hope, so am let down when AF shows. I have a large cyst and my doctor doesn't think that I'll ovulate this cycle, but a small part of me thinks that this will be the cycle I get pregnant, on my own when I'm not even supposed to ovulate.

I'm sad every single time I've seen AF.
