Bad day and need a vent

[Qwerty123]

I don’t want to be all negative but I’m having a bad day today. Can’t seem to find my positive head at all. I am about 10dpo and did a cheapie strip test this afternoon. It was BFN and although I know it’s still reasonably early but I just don’t feel like we have been lucky this month. Currently 2.5years TTC. I decided to flick back through my app for when I got positive on opk and when AF arrived....turns out since my last miscarriage there seems to be correlation between positive opk and AF so I’ve convinced myself that opk’s are no good for me. Sick of friends announcing pregnancy. Sick of putting things off “just in case” and sick of this being on my mind constantly. Arrgghhh!

Sorry you are having a bad day xx

I'm in my 4th cycle following miscarriage now and this cycle I've just got my pos opk SUPER early compared to normal, I'm not sure what it means yet but I guess it just takes time for our bodies to settle down again

Can you plan something to look forward too?
That really helps me when I'm feeling down.

I'm so sorry you feeling so down. I get it too. We've been ttc no 2 for a while now. I sometimes get really emotional and angry on my lead up to ovulation I think. I have been treating myself to some stress relief and relaxation incense sticks and oils to put in the bath. I'm not sure if it's really helping but it helps me take 10 minutes out of the day just to spend some time gathering my thoughts and switching off to whats going on (or not going on in my case) and thats lovely.
to you

sorry your having such a horrible day! Emotions are really hard to deal with especially when TTC. I hope you will have a better day tomorrow. Wish I had a magic wand so I could make the July mommies thread the record holding thread... Of all.. Threads mmmm

On my 4th cycle after mc I got a positive opk a week early, I was getting positive opks before this but not sure if I was actually ov'ing. I got a bfp this cycle. I am phoning docs because i'm getting brown/red stuff hopefully just implantation but want to be sure.

FX for you this cycle and for you too Querty (well everyone really)

Oh really? That's amazing, Congrats!
I hope it's a good sign for me too then!
I wouldn't normally get a pos until cd14 or 15 so seeing a pos at cd10 was a bit confusing! I only started opks on cd10 so no idea if any would have been pos before
Hope everything is okay fingers crossed it's your rainbow xx

Hi, this is the best place for all of your rants. Everyone is going through similar experiences.

This past cycle I was so negative and down in the dumps. Wrote myself off because AF arrived, couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel. Took a pregnancy test on Thursday last week (one day before AF due), it was BFN. I thought for god sake why do I bother?!

Sunday came, no AF .. took a test and BFP!

I hope you don't mind me sharing my story, but I just wanted to let you know that no matter how down you feel or how badly you've written yourself off - there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I felt just like you do!

My fingers and toes and everything is crossed for you to get your BFP, you never know it might just come along sooner than you know xx

I'm sorry it's taking it's toll. I'm also going through a similar rough patch at the moment. Usually at the start of yet another cycle, I can at least muster some enthusiasm. This cycle, nothing. Just don't know why I'm bothering. I'm sure I'll snap out of it soon enough.

Honestly TTC is such a rollercoaster. One minute you're soaring, the next moment you're full of anxiety, and then you're crushed when you get a BFN. When we get our BFPs, this will feel so far away.... Sorry you're having a bad cycle. I've been in the same headspace as you for the last two... But beginning to feel more positive. I have a friend who was trying for 3 years and just had her little boy after falling unexpectedly pregnant after so many broken hearted months. I just share this so you know it does happen and can happen for YOU.

Thank you to all of you. This place is so great for some extra support and understanding. I’m 12 dpo. Got all my usual pre AF symptoms. In the process of booking a holiday to look forward to and furiously booking stuff in with friends and family to try and be in a happy place as much as poss. Everywhere I look there are pregnancy announcements, unexpected babies, happy stories and it makes me want to scream! xxxxxxx
