Sad today :(

After six months of trying, I just got my period 4 days early this cycle, and it hit me hard. I’m feeling so down and teary today. It’s tough to keep holding onto hope when it feels like your body isn’t on the same page as your heart. Just feeling really low right now.

It’s so difficult isn’t it? We’ve been trying for nearly 2 years and not had any luck as of yet. I was 5 days late last month and was sure that was it but unfortunately not. Baby dust to you hun x

It took me 7-8 months, once it happens it feels like it happened so quick! Wishing you good luck with your journey 💕✨

Thank you so much girls! That helps, honestly I just need to get myself out of the rut and get ready for the next cycle

I totally understand… it’s 2 years ttc, and one year with ovulation test… and every month it’s like a slap in my face.
I’m so tired, it supposed to be an amazing time…

I’m 9months ttc and it’s so hard 😫 you’re not alone. Every month seems to be filled with the same hope, then dashed wither the same sadness. I know one month that will be different, and I can’t wait. Keep positive 🤞🤞

Thank you so much Amy! I hope this time next year we are in a different position!

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
