HPT made me cry.

I posted a few days ago about how I was only 7 dpo and my temp was still high but I was spotting. I was afraid it was implantation bleeding (we have been using condoms/charting but had one pull n pray on the day I ovulated. Oops.) The spotting looked textbook implantation spotting- brown with a very tiny bit of pink, only there when I wiped, went away after a day, started at 7 dpo. I told DH that I was going to test and he was kinda freaked out. I kept telling him, "don't worry, I'm sure the spotting was a fluke and I'm not pregnant," but in the back of my mind, I guess I was sure I was.

This morning (10 dpo) I took one of those First Response hpts that tells you 6 days before your missed period. 

...BFN.

I should have felt relieved. I wasn't. I was crushed. I came out and told my husband that it was BFN and he said "well that's a relief". I was silent for a second and he looked at me and asked "Are you sad?" I started bawling. We plan to wait until she's probably a year old to TTC and I don't think DH wants to budge on that one. I'm just so down right now, and I really didn't think I would be.

    I'm sorry :( It is normal to feel that way. You're not alone, and maybe your DH will budge on waiting a year to TTC again. If not, at least its pretty soon!

    COMPLETELY normal. At 16, I actually had an early term miscarriage. I couldn't have been more than 5 weeks pg. It was probably the best thing that could have happened in that situation because there was no way I could have handled the child. I was really upset for months. It is the maternal instinct that has you down. Even if the situation isn't right for a baby, of course you're going to be sad when the thought that there is one there, and then there isn't. You'll get through it. Chin up, lady!

    You're totally normal. Even though the "sane" part of me should go running from the chance at another child right now, I still was sad myself a couple of weeks ago when I had a BFN (we broke a condom in my fertile period). When you see your child and how much you love that one, it's completely natural to want to have more. I have two and used to only want two.  Now I'm thinking 3 or 4.  Smile
