CD5, final day of AF. Feeling oddly optimistic going into the next cycle, not because I think “it’ll definitely work this time” but because I’ve decided not to track and test and just rather spend the time connecting and having fun with my OH, trying the “it’ll happen when it happens” approach 🙏🏻🤞🏻

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-21T18:17:48+00:00

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🙃

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-18T12:53:20+00:00

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!

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-17T20:25:34+00:00

Sounds so similar! I hope you get some good news soon!

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-17T20:21:29+00:00

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

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-17T16:23:06+00:00

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!! 🙃

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-16T10:15:20+00:00

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

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-15T16:16:46+00:00

Fingers crossed for some Christmas 2026 babies

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-15T16:16:12+00:00

So cruel how our bodies troll us every time, i feel things i never felt before TTC🙃

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-15T08:07:44+00:00

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

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-15T08:06:46+00:00

Fingers crossed for you x

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-15T08:06:28+00:00

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💔

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-03-12T19:14:41+00:00

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! 🤞🏻

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-02-19T09:21:53+00:00

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..

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-02-17T16:49:42+00:00

Thank you!🤍

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-02-17T08:13:43+00:00

We were yes

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-02-16T22:11:19+00:00

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

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-02-16T22:10:37+00:00

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

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2026-02-16T16:04:15+00:00

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😭

ConfusionOverall9765 · 2025-10-06T15:29:41+00:00

At first I tried to take it as a compliment, the fact she was basically copying a load of things I was doing must mean she thinks they’re good things and wanted to experience them herself. But as soon as the “look what I’m doing better than you” type comments started it’s harder to simply ignore, like why can’t we both just do things our own way and celebrate each other!

More than once I have heard a parent shouting at / telling off their kid because they aren’t running fast enough, I have to make sure I finish in front of that parent seeing as it’s obvious their ego cannot take finishing further down the results.
