Why is this so difficult?

TTC is the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through - the constant roller coaster of being confident I’m pregnant and then taking a test and it being a BFN but then thinking to myself it’s still early and then a day or two later it happening all over again 🤦🏼‍♀️ We’re trying for our second - we’re on the second month after a MC in October which I got pregnant on the first month trying. AF is due Monday for me and I just feel defeated. Being pregnant is all I can literally think about. It took us 5 months with our first and I remember going through these same feelings 🫤

I know how you feel! I find it quite emotionally draining 😫 we are ttc for our first after a MC June 23, every week is so long 😔 fingers crossed for us both x

We’ve been trying ever since we could after having our daughter we wanted a small age gap. It is now 9 months of trying and still negative. I’m due on Monday also. It’s horrible, I’m at the point I don’t know what to do. I also convince myself I see a shadow on the pregnancy test it’s soul destroying.

so sorry for your loss! There’s some comfort in knowing that we can all support each other through this difficult journey! Prayers you get your baby soon!

😞 how old is your daughter? My son will be 2 in February. We wanted a 2-2.5 year gap but looking like we may get closer to 3 the way things are going

My daughter is 10 months but my family have had early menopause in their 30s and I’ve just turned 30 so I didn’t want to wait around. I conceived last time 6 months then miscarried then fell pregnant straight after my miscarriage so I honestly thought it might have happened by now.

Hi ladies, it was nice to read this post as I’m in a similar boat. Ttc my second and it’s been 10 months so far. It’s all I think about too and feels like I convince myself too each month I have new symptoms. With my first he is nearly 3 and he only took one month to conceive x

Anyone had a super early postive ?

Hi am i seeing things ? It's only 6 dpo. I had a chemical pregnancy start of February then a period then a positive ovulation strip a week ago Could this be the left over after the chemical ? It just seems so early. This is an early detection test. This came up within 2 minutes of dipping and it says to wait 3 minutes. I've taken two after that arnt as early detection but still what I think are faint positives ? All appeared withing the recommended time frames xxx

Defo negative

Dola the app said she said see faint faint line I can’t

At 8DPO negative test result

At 8 DPO not even a faint line , a straight negative test . So does that means it’s a no pregnancy for me this month . Or there are future chances for hcg to rise

Negative at 8dpo

Has anyone had a negative at 8dpo and ended up pregnant after?

Sadly Desperate

I’ve been a step mom for over 6 years now and it seems like this year it has all went to hell. My relationship with my step kids, my feelings as a stepmom and everything else in general. I love my husband and he supports me every way he can I just don’t have anyone else in my situation that can help or understands what I’m going through. If anyone is willing to listen or just give their thoughts I would greatly appreciate it 💜

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week
