Negative

So I peed on a stick this morning and got a big fat negative. I think I O'ed on the 15th day of my cycle (Feb. 2nd) and so far I have had no symptoms or signs that AF will show her ugly head. I don't think that this is our cycle & I'm really starting to get discouraged. I've had the attitude that "if it's meant to be that it'll happen" from the begining but it's still frustrating. Please offer any words of wisdom or positive vibes that you can send my way. TIA

Re: Negative

  • I don't really have any wisdom, but I'm sorry to hear you are frustrated!! I can't imagine how hard it is for those of you that go down this disappointing road every month. I guess you just have to find peace in the fact that it takes some people longer than others (like, a LOT longer) and know that your time will come when it should. I'm sorry :(
  • That blows!  I don't have any wisdom either :(  But just hang in there.  You're time will come!

  • I'm sorry, that stinks! As someone who has been trying, wanting and hoping for going on a year and a half, I can totally commiserate. I actually had my hopes up a little yesterday thinking maybe I could be b/c I was having some odd symptoms that aren't typical for me. Lo and behold I started spotting last night and AF officially arrived this morning.

    I know it sucks, trust me, I do....but I just have to trust in God and in my heart that I AM meant to have a baby and it WILL happen for me someday. I look on the bright side that the extra TTC time gives us extra time to pay off debt. Sending T&P and lots of positive vibes!

  • I was just chatting with my friend and I said, "Do you realize that in August it will be 2 years from when DH and I started trying to have a baby?" It blows my mind that it's been that long...and that it could be longer. At this point in my life, I am so happy with what God has given us, that I've resolved to not be unhappy because of what we haven't received. We have a good life, good jobs, and a solid relationship - we remind ourselves of that everyday and move forward knowing there is a bigger plan for us. We've stopped asking God to give us a baby and instead begun to ask Him to just keep us on a path that is His...as long as we're on the right road we know that, in the end, it'll be what's right for us.

    I don't know if that makes things easier for you - I remember feeling the discouragement at many points, and I'm sure I'm going to experience it again to some degree. Day by day, though, it does get easier. 

    love, jenifriend

  • I just want to say that my heart goes out to all of you who are trying, believe me I know how hard it is when AF shows up month after month. I'll be keeping all of you in my T&Ps that it will happen for you very soon.

  • My only words of wisdom is that I POAS on a Sunday in October and on Thursday I got a BFP. So, it doesn't necessarily mean no. Have you been charting? Are your temps still up? I am hoping this happens soon for you, and all of our other TTC'ers, because I know how frustrating it all can be! 

    EDIT: Sorry, I responded before reading all the way through the responses. Just keep trying and try to take what Jeni said to heart. I just have faith that you were meant to have a baby, especially after knowing how amazing you are to your SD.
