Trying to Get Pregnant

Just a vent...

So, I don't post often b/c I have weird hours at work, but I lurk as much as time allows.  If there's anywhere I can go to write this, I know it's here.

I don't temp, but I am usually quite regular (28-30 day cycles).  No great symptoms this month, but I was 5 days late.  I couldn't help myself...I really had hope that this was my month.

AF burst my bubble today.  Really weird, AF just showed up with no symptoms.  The really sucky thing is that I was starting to believe this was it for me.  I know I should have POAS, but Iwas holding out since the last few months have been BFNs.

We haven't been trying long, but I really got my hopes up.  I know so many of you have been through this...and I honestly don't know how you keep your spirits up when instead of a BFP you keep getting AF instead.  What's worse is that I feel awful for taking my husband along on my emotional roller coaster with me.  I think, in the future, I will keep my big fat mouth shut.

So, that's it.  I will feel better tomorrow.  For tonight, I'm going to have a drink and retire early.  Thanks for the vent.

  • ::sigh:: i agree.  it's very hard for me.  and it's not just bfn's that get me down.. but there's a hoard of other things in life that remind you of you're new venture and how you feel as if you've lost your road map.

  • So sorry to hear about AF, TTC brings on a whole new hatred for AF.

    You have a lot of will power to not POAS as soon as AF was late.

    Best of luck to you next cycle!

    It's been a rough year financially like most of the rest of the world...and honestly, I didn't want to waste the money.  So, I am feeling somewhat renewed and am saving my tests for the New Year!

    Good luck to you too!

    For me, it's the repeated up and downs that are killing me.  i get my hopes up and then I get deflated.  So the next month, I try not to get overly-excited, but then AF messes with my mind and it's driving me nuts!

    I think the emotional coaster just makes other disappointments that much worse b/c you're already running on reserves at times dealing with the madness that comes with TTC.

    I just never anticipated the difficulties that come with this process.

    Anyway, good luck to you in the new year!
