Trying to Get Pregnant

Why is it that...

...when you reach for the shooting stars,they fly out of reach?

That's the feeling I get sometimes. We went to a friends house tonight to chat and catch up, but seriously, every woman there was pregnant, except me. And they were all surprise pregnancies. Then they said that they knew people who it took months to conceive, and it seemed odd to them that it can happen slower than instantly. I felt like the odd one out and fought back tears quite a good bit.

He's a nice friend, I just feel like I'm the 3rd wheel no matter what. It kinda sucks. 

Also, I think I'm out this cycle: BFN, FF says 16dpo but I don't think it's right and something is up. I had a 55 day cycle last month. I feel like it'll happen again. I might just bring TTC up when I visit my doctor again soon, and see what he thinks. I had a follow up appointment soon anyways so why not.

    I think FF gave you an early O day because of your CM, but I think around CD20 is more likely. GL dear, your turn will come!

    You think? I'm new to charting so I still don't see those things!
    If you think like I do, and that the O date *could* be wrong, then maybe there is hope somewhere!

  • I'm sorry you are having a bad night. I think a lot of us are in the same boat and experience the same feelings. I was especially disappointed at the end of this cycle. I'm the last of my friends to have kids and I know tons of people who are pregnant now... by accident or very quickly! It is very frustrating. Try to keep your head up.

    I think it's very likely wrong because there's no real temp shift until later. It's also very easy to misinterpret CM or miss the fertile patch of it if you aren't checking multiple times a day. Either way, it's unusual to have this long of an LP, so something is amiss. There is always hope until the red-headed b!tch shows!

  • :(

    I think you might have O'd around CD20 as well..and your missing temps in the beginning & mid-cycle are making FF think you had a shift earlier.

  • Aww kita I'm sorry. Sometimes it's like the universe is laughing at us!

    Yesterday I was at a grad. party and I overheard a pg woman talking about how she not only is pregnant with twin girls, but they got pregnant the first month ttc, 2nd month of bcp, and twins don't run in their families. She was laughing about it while talking and had the whole "Who knew it was soooo easy to get pregnant!" attitude.

    1st BFP- March 2011. Natural MC @ 8 weeks
    2nd BFP- July 2011.  Chemical Pregnancy
    3rd BFP- Sep 2011. My beautiful son was born May 2012.
    4th BFP-August 2014- Due May 12, 2015


  • I don't agree with FF either....I think it was more like CD 19 or 20 but you didn't enter any CM those days so its basing O when you charted it earlier. Try putting in EWCM or WCM for those days and see what it does to your chart.

    Hang in there, I understand your frustration with seeing all the pregnant ladies....three girls I work with are pregnant and it happened unintentionally for all of them!

  • I'm with the others that the shift points towards day 20 for O.

    I have a question about the CF recorded on days 8-10.  Any chance that could be residual semen from BD?  Same thing with all of the creamy markings throughout the chart before day 20.  I don't use FF, I use the TCOYF s/w and I have to put in a question mark for semen obscured CF checks.

    I agree with the other PP who said they think you've might've o'd later...  Did you try switching your analysis method to "research" from "advanced"?  When I did that last month, FF moved my CH from where my CM would've indicated to where my temp shift more confidently indicated. 

    At least you've got the sex covered no matter when you o'd!  Stick out tongue

    Good luck!!

    This is kind of talk really p!sses me off. I really wonder if it is true. Just taking the stat that you have a 20% chance of getting pregnant each time you try, let's say 20% of them really did get pregnant by surprise. Statistically they can't ALL be surprises. I think its the "cool"/"fun" thing to say, but I doubt how much truth is invovled. Maybe they all WERE suprises, but I'm just sayn', the chances are slim!
