Bouncing back from a Negative.

KatherineECO · November 2010

I feel so down and out when I get a negative test. I know everyone says it will happen when it's time & not to stress but sometimes I just can't help it. I have about 10 friends who either just gave birth or just announced their pregnancies. It really brings me down because it feels like it's happening for everyone I know but not myself. My DH is so supportive & he tries so hard to cheer me up but I'm just wondering what everyone does to bounce back from a negative test.

Thanks for any help.

Everyone struggles with this, so you aren't alone. Start temping if you don't already...it helps keep you better informed about your body. As far as recovering from negatives, I let myself cry and feel bad for a bit, but then try to focus on the things that I can do now that I probably can't once we have kids. I get a mani/pedi, go shopping, hang out with girlfriends...just do what I want to do and have some "me" time.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. Seeing the huge response to eesome's BFP was a little hard. I wanted that today too! But I am so happy for her. I know my time will come. Actually, AF still isn't here, my temp is still above coverline, and no usual AF symptoms yet, so I still have a little hope . . .

Yes I agree that would be hard to see her responses in this case!

Its been hard for me too...one of my gf got prego in Aug when i first started trying and another gf just announced her second pregnancy the other day!

Well Im still cheering u on!
