Trying to Get Pregnant

When do you give up hope for BFP?

Are you hopeful until AF shows up despite BFN? Or do you lose hope after BFN?

Re: When do you give up hope for BFP?

  • i would stay hopeful until AF rears her ugly head, maybe the reason for the BFN is testing to early! dont give up just yet!

  • I stayed hopeful until AF. Or, in my case this cycle since it's CD 94, when my blood work and ultrasound showed no pregnancy.

  • Thanks bridetobe! I have a tiny bit of hope but then the rational part of me butts in and reminds me of the countless BFNs!

  • I think I will only get discouraged by a BFN after 14dpo for some reason.

    I agree and that's what I told myself yesterday at 13 DPO so today my BFN took that hope!

    Haha, yeah. No it still hasn't shown, today is CD 94. And I still have 2 weeks till my follow-up appointment when I will hopefully be prescribed Provera to start a new cycle. Blah.

    I wallow in self-pity after a 12 DPO BFN. I'm pessimistic that way....

  • A BFN at 13 DPO is what usually does me in.
  • I give up after a BFN on 13 or 14 DPO.. I have had a BFN before my BFP for baby number 2 so its entirely possible to still get a BFP but at some point your mind goes into denial and you lose all hope.

  • I have a teensy bit of hope until CD3. Lat year when I was pregnant, I thought I had gotten AF, but I only bled for two days and then stopped. Every month a tiny part of me hopes that AF will just stop the next day and I'll get a BFP.

    Uh oh...you might be giving me motivation to keep on testing ;)

    Glad I went to Dollar Tree today, those FRERs were really adding up

    Oh wow! You have a lot of self control! I hope soon, you will have to test and get your BFP!

    OP, I give up hope once AF has shown as well.

  • I tested yesterday at 10dpo and again today, both BFN. I am pretty close to giving up hope since I should get AF on Monday. I'm only on cycle 2 so I shouldn't be so upset, but it sucks.

    I also have been having problems sleeping for the last week so I haven't even been able to temp so I have no idea if my temps are still up or going down, I think that is why this is bothering me so much...just not knowing what my body is doing right now.

    Seeing a neg test would be super depressing to me, I'd rather just hold out hope until AF.  Plus, those things are expensive..

  • I don't give up hope until AF arrives.  After my first month TTC when I peed on everything I won't even keep a pregnancy test in the house.  I promised myself I will go buy one when AF is finally late.......this is only bc I drove myself crazy the first month.  Good luck!

    This is me, too. It's more the temp drop than the BFN (although, those suck) that makes me lose hope. My temp drops slowly for 3 days. So, I know I'm "not out until AF shows" but the logical side of me knows its over.

  • I am still hopeful until AF comes, even when my temp dips and I start spotting...I'm an optimist that way!

  • When I start spotting. I used to test early and often but I haven't tested since October and I like it better. I'll test if AF is ever late or if I don't have spotting by expected AF.
