I had taken a blue dye test the other night... where the positive line would've been was just 2 blue dots. I retested an hour ago with a pink dye test.

But i honestly don't know when i am considered late. The start of this cycle was April 21st. I stopped bc pills in January. Last two cycles were 39 and 40 days. So I set myself up for this. I may not even be late, I might have just ovulated... dunno. So I am foolish for taking a test when I knew the it was very likely to get a negative result.

But I am still sad.

Sorry you are sad. This process is not easy or always fun, but well worth it in the end I'm sure. Coming off the pill makes things more complicated as your cycles even out. I hope you get your BFP soon.

I think we can all relate to your sadness and confusion. Why won't our bodies just do what they are supposed to?!!

Sorry to hear you got you BFN. There are some things I just don't want to be patient with. Stay positive! I believe God gives you sadness to help you enjoy the good times that much more!
Good luck!

Thank you both so much! You know, I've been pretty consistently positive so far. I know my body just needs to go back to normal. And I do know I ovulate (just long cycles). I watch my 'baby' shows on tv in the mornings on my days off work. And my heart just ... melts. It took me a long time to feel ready to start trying. Now I am - and I swore to myself I wouldn't even test til next month. I caved and did it, even those two little blue dots I saw on that darn pregnancy test - they gave me a glimmer of hope. Crushed to see a BFN this evening.
I will certainly appreciate that BFP when I see it!!!

Next question... should I simply wait til I get closer to a 39 - 40 day cycle til I retest (If AF doesn't come earlier than that?). Right now is day 27.

I say keep doing the baby dance (unless you are positive that you have o'd. do you temp?), and test a little later in the month when you are closer to 39 days.

I don't temp... I feel like if I start doing that - I'll get more and more bent out of shape. I guess I'm trying the - go with the flow - attitude. I could see this making me very stressed and end up causing me to not get pregnant.

You are right... I should wait til day 39. Booooo - thats a long time!

 

[rflower]

I agree...waiting until later to test sounds like good idea

 

[aquaria6]

I feel the same way about temping. I don't do it either because I tend to obsess, but apparenlty, it is the only way to know for sure that you have ovulated. Even OPKs don't tell you that you have ovulated only that your body has produced the hormone it needs to ovulate.

Good Luck

Its going to take ALOT of willpower to not test. Seriously. Lol. I bought a boat load of tests today! Its an addiction.

Temping is a hell of a lot less stressful than not knowing what's going on. BBT is really not stressful at all. It helps you understand what's going on. Sorry to hear you're upset hun xxx

I am so sorry your sad, and I have often felt the same. Its soo hard not to test and soo disheartening to see that BFN
Have you tried charting when your ovulating or using OPK?
First five months I used them I don't think I ovulated but it was so nice that 6th onth to see that I had ovulated and was "normal"!
Our BFP's are on the way soon x

I haven't done anything with charting or using OPK. The idea frustrates me a bit. My cycle is quite long and I feel like if I put too much attention on it all.... I will spaz out! lol. I tend to get obsessive compulsive about that sort of thing. And then stress, leading to infertility. See - am I over analyzing this or what? Lol.

Sorry for your BFN
Hopefully it turns around for you!

P.S. Stay away from blue dye tests, I can get a faint BFP on blue dye tests in the middle of AF! [lol]

 

[LittleLove]

I feel your pain. Every month taking that test and hoping for the best is very stressful! Hope for the best for you and your OH. Just try and stay positive and hopfully the tests will do the same!
