Does anyone else feel this way before testing?

[Charmingstyli]

almost like, getting the bfp would be so incredibly amazing that it sounds impossible? lol I know i probably sound crazy.

I couldn't even imagine being pregnant, it just seems so out of reach

am i alone in this ? haha

 

[sarah2211]

At first I could imagine it. I was so hopeful and we had thought it would just happen. But now as the months have gone by I've lost hope a little. I expect a BFN now instead of a BFP.

 

[AnnieJ10]

Yes! I totally 100% know what you mean. It's like when I test I want it SO badly that if it's positive it'll feel too good to be true or something

 

[gennifaire]

Yeah. I get overly excited then disappointed

 

[WishnandHopn]

Yes! I feel like I might have a heart attack if I ever get a BFP! I won't be able to believe my eyes.

I always test the morning the day AF is due only to have her arrive later that day. I'm 7dpo today...7 more days until I will use my last dollar store test. Ha maybe having zero HPTs in the house will be my lucky charm for next month if this month is a bust!

You're definitely not alone...I've started expecting bfns regardless of how I feel and what I think my body is telling me. Getting a bfp seems so out of reach sometimes...good luck to you girl! Praying for you to get that bfp!

 

[BelleNuit]

I think if I ever get a bfp, I won't be able to stop crying lol.

At this point it feels like it may never happen. Ive been so disappointed month after month, I barely have any hope left

 

[WishnandHopn]

Belle, I think we are similar places in our TTC journeys, we've been trying since Dec, 6 BFNs so far. I will keep hoping if you will!

My AF was 2 days late this month and I was so happy those 2 days thinking, wow, this is it! Then a bfn at 16 dpo and AF came that same evening.

Don't stop believing!

 

[BelleNuit]

Thanks Wishn! It's good to know that there are others in the same spot as me!

Sounds like you had a pretty big let down this past cycle! Same thing happened to me, I had a triphasic chart so I was really hopeful. But AF came right on time. I think it hit me hard because it was the 6th cycle

But if you can hang on to hope, then I will hang on to that glimmer of hope too

 

[WishnandHopn]

Oh wow Belle a triphasic chart would really have my hopes up! Sorry you were disappointed

The 6th unsuccessful cycle is hitting me hard too. In my case I'm over 35 so 6 months is the trigger to get referred to a fertility specialist. We were really hoping not to have to go down that road.

Let's hope it's lucky number 7 for both of us!

 

[BelleNuit]

Thanks Wishn!

I'm hoping cycle 7 is our lucky number!

I ended up getting blood work done, and all my hormones came out normal. So DH and I have made some healthy lifestyle changes. I'm hoping that will do it for us!

Currently waiting to O! Should be any day now

 

[WishnandHopn]

Yay for normal blood work! Mine came back ok too. Has your DH had a sperm analysis yet? Mine had his and most things were ok, although I think at the low end of normal. (Doctors think it's fine...) We're both taking some supplements to help with sperm and egg quality.

I feel like I'm getting close to O...hoping it holds off for a couple of days as I've been visiting my parents for the weekend without DH and we won't get to start BDing until Monday night!

 

[BelleNuit]

We did one of those at home SA and he had pretty high scores. He had a bad weed habit though which can change the way the swimmers move and stuff so I think that may be part of the problem. He just quit recently though! It won't change things for this month, but hopefully it will help in the long run!

I hope those supplements help you! I've started taking vitamins this month and extra B vitamins to help with spotting before AF.

Ahh! I hope O holds off for you! I think I may have O'd yesterday!

I know exactly what you mean, you almost don't wanna look because you're excited to see a positive and when you look and see it's a negative it's so disappointing and then AF shows up and makes it worse lol. Good luck and hopefully this is your month!
