So, I'm posting again... I feel so down about this whole situation. Ten days late, three negatives (just now got one of them, still on a cheap test). So now that I know I'm not pregnant, I wish that I would just start my period so I don't have to be tournamented anymore, because that's all it is. I'm ready for the next cycle so I can start trying again. This whole baby thing is stressing me out, and we all know that I'll get nowhere like that. Everybody tells me to "just forget about it" but answer me something, how do you forget about something you want with your entire being. I'm going insane. I'm thinking of dropping out of this whole trying to conceive thing. I can't handle it. I still want it with all my heart and I will still probably think about it all the time, but I feel like I'm getting g nowhere. If you read this, thanks. I had to post again, my thoughts were killing me. I've never wanted anything so bad, but I feel selfish because so many other women want it just as well as me....

It's hard, like MISERABLY hard!! If TTC is stressing you out completely, maybe you could try a more light hearted method, BD when you see fertile cm or just do it when you feel like it! I know it's hard not to think about it constantly when you want it so bad, how long have you been trying?

I've not been trying long at all, since January. But that's not what's making it bad, its the fact that my best friend and like another girl just had babies. And three or four others are pregnant. Some are not married and didn't want it,one is like 15.. I'm married and want it badly and they are the ones that get pregnant fast, not me... that's really what kills me and now I'm this late and it just got my hopes up, I guess

I know how you feel...last year a friend of mine who had been dating a guy for 2 weeks (2 WEEKS!!) got pregnant, she had to take state aid before and after she had her baby and her BF is a druggie, ridiculous!! Another friend got pregnant her first cycle, after me telling her about the hard time DH and I are having with conceiving (we hit the year mark, ugh). Now she constantly complains about her pregnancy and rubs it in my face any chance she gets. If AF still hasn't shown, you're not out yet. Some women don't get a positive until much later or perhaps you O'd later than you though. If you still don't get AF within the next week, I'd make an appt with your doctor to see what's up.

That is so crazy! Don't you hate that. I think that I would feel better if it wasn't for everyone else around me being pregnant. Oh and not to mention in November my uncle who already had five kids goes and has another one. And then in January my aunt(his ex wife) has one!! And they are like in their 40s. But that's what they get for dating people half their age! But it gets so frustrating to deal with. But I'm really really hoping I'm not out, but I just don't "feel" pregnant...

I completely understand how you feel. We have been trying to conceive since November and its so frustrating. My last cycle I was about 8 days late and then ended up getting AF. In the last month I have found out at least 10 people I know that are pregnant. I am sure the number is much larger actually since I just found out about 2 yesterday! One of my good friends also went to the hospital yesterday to have her baby. I just don't get it! One of our other friends has been trying to conceive their second and she has been trying the same amount of time as us and I know that if they tell us she is pregnant anytime soon I am going to be crushed. I am so happy for these people but just so annoyed by our lack of "luck". It doesn't help that this month during the big O my husband was out with the flu. Not much we can do about that so I am now just waiting to get AF which should be here in the next couple of days. Then I can move on and hopefully have a luck month in May. If it works out then we would find out right around my Husbands B-day. It's nice to see other people feeling the same as me though! I don't feel quite as alone in it then!

It's the same with me I just want it so much but everyone else gets it and they don't want it and I know that there's some kind of life path for everyone but I've really realized how unfair life seems to be these past 8 month of ttc. I'm sorry your AF is playing tricks and I know how hard it is but try and stop stressing sice that makes her late and do some exercising and a hot bath or have sex one of those usually gets mine started good luck for next month Hun

The first time my husband and I TTC I reached CD 56 before getting a positive!!! My normal cycle was around 30-33 days and I didnt know what the hell was going on lol! After a while and after 7 negative pregnancy tests I just presumed I had missed a period. Doctors booked me in for a blood test to check if everything was ok as I was so concerned. On the day of the blood test I thought "what the hell" and did one more test and there it was...BFP!

Dont give up just yet.

Congrats Jessica! I notice you're in Cambridge too, do you mind me asking which surgery you go to? I'm with Arbury Road and am currently 2 weeks late, I've been in a couple of times and they've done urine tests then when they've been negative, they've told me to wait a few days and try again. I'd like to ask for a blood test, but was worried they would think I was being silly!

Hey local person! I live on Orchard Park so my nearest is Arbury but then got moved to Nuffield Practice! Demand a blood test! Most clear way of getting answers!
