So negative already...

[Snappykat]

I can't believe I feel so terribly negative already. I starting using OPK's last month and was delighted as I got a good positive CD12 and CD13 however this month I didn't get any, started the week getting darker but it definately didn't get anywhere near as dark as last month if a postive at all but I kept thinking towards the end of last week it'll be a positive tomorrow cause I was thinking it would be the same as last month and now realise I have missed it So now I'm feeling really low as think oh no I've got to go through another terrible disappointment this month. I just really wish I could relax and just switch off and not constantly think about it and symptom watch all the time

Sorry ladies rant over

Sorry to hear that SK
This waiting game really is hellish isn't it
I try to look on the bright side every month, and appreciate my amazing husband, lovely home, gorgeous cats etc. It's hard, but we will get there in the end.
Hugs to you Xx

Thanks Bead and sorry I know I probably sound really unappreciative and moany just didn't really expect it to be this difficult. I just need to give myself a good kick up the behind and focus on the good things and hope that my turn will come soon. Feel better already after getting it all out.

Moaning's good for the soul I say, let it all out

That's what all the girls are here for moaning, chating and support, so your entitled to do so!!

I haven't used these OPK's at all, but I hear you have to test each day at the same time in the afternoon and not the morning, were any of the times of day different?

Hope you feel chirpyer soon Snappycat X

Did you get any done in the week they were getting darker?
I only ask because last month was my first month using opks and I never got a definite positive but it worked out anyway.

 

[Snappykat]

Thanks JJMum.

I did them roughly at the same time (I think) but did read somewhere that you should be doing them twice a day and that would give you a more accurate reading? Who knows.....

Frankie, we BD'd ever second day from CD8 and slipped an addional one in on CD15 To be honest this is the best month we've had since we started trying, so I don't know why I feel so low.

Thanks for listening it really is appeciated

I'm feeling the same and am due to start using the OPKs - Tonight will be my first one and im on CD8 - I just hope that at some point I get a positive but I'm so worried that my body isn't working properly and that I'm never going to get a positive.
I hate feeling negative all the time but I really don't think its ever going to happen for me, some days are better than others but I'll just keep up with the BDing and hope for the best!

 

[Snappykat]

It's certainly a horrible feeling. I really hope you get a positive OPK it's so exciting when you see it!!

Good luck Bonny

It is so difficult not be negative. I am not a great one to talk at the moment. But before this turned into a mammoth long cycle I was keeping very postive telling myself that I will ov, will get pg and have a healthy baby. According to the book "the baby making bible" visualising the process of your cycle, like an egg being released can really help.

Do you have any hobbies or activities that you can do to take your mind off of it?

 

[xXxBonnyxXx]

Thanks hun! Good luck to you too! We will get there! We just have to be a bit more positive!

 

[rbryan0205]

i didnt get a very clear positive on the opks but i just took ovulation to be on the day of the darkest line as it got gradually darker and then peaked then got paler again some ppl have said on here before that the test ine has never been as dark as the control line but they have still got there bfps and plus i work shifts so it is impossible for me to test at the same time every day

hope this helps xx

Hey SK, try not to feel down. I lost the plot a little bit earlier this week and had a bad couple of days but now I just keep telling myself that in the end it will all be worth it because it WILL happen for us, all of us. You know everyone on here is here when you need a rant and we're all going through the same thing, I've realised that. Chin up hun, your time will come. xxx

 

[Snappykat]

Thanks to all your comments.

RBryan that's good to know that maybe not everyone get a dark positive every month and I just need to look at frankie for confirmation of that so I suppose I may still be in with a chance this month

Next month I'm definately keeping myself occupied so I'm going to take JJMum's lead and start excercising and trying to lose some weight hopefully focus on something different (who am I kidding ), def worth a try though.

It's so reassuring to know that everyone is in the same boat and feels the same, thanks ladies

hey hun,
i know its hard not to feel negative, and we welcome a rant !!! big hugs.
i only started using OPK'S last month, and i was worried i wasnt ovulating, but i did a second test in the evening, and the darkest line came up!!
it looks like your covered with the beding hun!

good luck xx
