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.
Re: Just a vent...
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!
