I was really bummed out when AF showed this morning. Although we haven't been trying, we haven't been preventing. It took us forever + 2 IUIs and IVF to conceive Miller, so the concept of getting pg naturally is kind of lost on me. But somehow, someway, in those last few cycle days, I always find hope and wonder what if???

Re: Almost...FFFC
Sorry. AF sucks anyway, but even more when you are TTC.

Stranger things have happened. You never know.
Good luck.

I too know what you mean. Every month it's that same dissapointment. One month I had a 31 day cycle & was thinking for sure I was PG. I am so wishing it could happen naturally.
It was 4 IUI's & 2 IVF's for me.

I know I'm super late on this, but I just wanted to say that my BFF had fertility treatments to conceive her first, but the second one happened without medical intervention. So it DOES happen!
Hope next month is different.
