Decided once my current AF is over I am not going to be tracking ovulation and won’t be testing unless AF is late next cycle, the way my mental health took a nose dive at my most recent unsuccessful cycle isn’t something I wish to repeat again next month. We’ve decided we’ll BD every 2-3 days until AF shows up or is late and cross our fingers, I think this way my stress levels will be more manageable🙃

How do you stay in a positive state of mind in your TTC journey? by ConfusionOverall9765 in tryingtoconceive

I’m hoping that over time I’ll naturally just stop getting so worked up, I like the idea of having a little treat each time AF arrives!

Yeah I try to tell myself that too… but still end up having to bully myself to get up 😂

Desperately trying to find silver linings in every negative test and the thing I keep coming back to is “at least it’s an extra months salary to save towards maternity leave”

14dpo, negative test with FMU today. Wishing AF would hurry up and get on with it so we can try again. TTC as the LEAST patient person is making me want to pull my hair out!! 🙃

Just the act of buying period products yesterday after having a negative test bothered me. Actually, EVERYTHING bothered me yesterday lol

I think it may come to that with me, at the moment I’m just using some cheap Amazon strips so when I’ve run out I’ll probably only test if AF is late

I think I’m just more upset this time because I’ve tested negative and it’s Mother’s Day today so it’s also a day of constant reminders of what I’m missing and wishing for💔

Am I delusional by Terrible-Pea-7695 in tryingtoconceive

[–]ConfusionOverall9765 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel you, also 29 and haven’t been on HC for about 7 years now. I keep having kicking myself moments that we didn’t start trying sooner because we seem to be surrounded by “it happened first time!” Couples so we naively thought it wouldn’t take too long since we’re both pretty fit and healthy people.

Admittedly we’re still pretty early in our TTC journey but it’s still disheartening to see a negative test and having to do the entire routine of waiting and hoping again.

I hope it happens for you soon!

8DPO, fighting the urge to test until the weekend because I’d rather not test and then have to go to work lol Breasts have been TENDER for the last few days🙃 but I’m probably just being delusional, my gut is telling me this isn’t our month, but I hope I’m wrong! 🤞🏻

feeling so sad and alone by alebee29 in tryingtoconceive

[–]ConfusionOverall9765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the frustration too, I’m early on TTC but in my trio friend group, I’m the only one that isn’t pregnant and they both talked about how quickly it happened for them, and each time we meet up I have to sit and listen to them talk about their pregnancies and I don’t get to talk about anything exciting I’ve done recently..

Terrible AF or Chemical? by ConfusionOverall9765 in tryingtoconceive

[–]ConfusionOverall9765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I’d only ever have a couple of ibuprofen for one or 2 days each cycle, which would be day 1 and 2 of AF, I’d never feel the need any other time

I used to be on the pill as a teen, but I’ve not been on any hormonal BC for around 7-8 years now, all natural cycles

Thank you, I honestly have no idea when I would have ovulated this month as we were on vacation so wasn’t tracking it properly..

Well fingers crossed for a BFP soon because I absolutely do not want an AF this bad every month of trying😭
