pertykitty....use as open forum too!

I just needed to vent and thought maybe the last thread of mine was long buried by now.  I tested again this morning at 14 DPO and got a BFN. This was the third test...took the first one at 9 DPO. I'm frustrated... my m/c was back in Nov. and was able to get preg. so easy. Perhaps it was because I had just gotten off BC and my body was out of wack. It's been almost 6 months since I've been off it and had my HSG test done and got the green light from the dr. to start ttc again.

I sit here and play these number games trying to figure out when I O and chart on fertility friend and study and analyze all the time. It's almost like I've become obsessed with getting everything timed just right and then NOTHING!!! I just need to relax and let things happen, but I don't have any patience as much as I hate to admit it. I am more than open to any advice you might have for me!!! :)  pertykitty...Thanks for the reassurance in your last post to me. I'm pretty sure AF is well on her way...started spotting today.

the obsession most of us have experienced. you know its funny how my last cycle i tried to get pg (and i did) i relaxed so much. i dont know if it helped or not. but it was easier emotionally that time lol. now im just obsessed with pregnancy.

Another forum where I go they suggest testing at 17 dpo for the most accurrate results. There is some long medical and logical explanation for all this......I don't remember what it is though! lol

Thanks ladies....I know I should be patient, but I was almost 99% positive that AF was coming today...I'm spotting but nothing more as of yet.  Not exactly normal for me, but I would think if I were preggo that I would be having some type of early pregnancy signs, don't you?  Fertility Friend estimated my AF to start yesterday based on my cycles and HPTing for 18 DPO since I can't pinpoint ovulation to the exact day. I had my first +OPK on CD 14 (April 8th) so ff estimated that I O'd on the 9th.  Based on my own calcuations I would have expected AF on Tues/Wed. this week.  I honestly don't know what I could have done differently to increase my chances this month.  The only thing I think I could do at this point is to stop thinking about it, but it seems like my life is revolving around it 24/7.  pertykitty...I would LOVE to obsess over being pregnant instead of getting there! :)  Congrats!

It took me forever to get pregnant with this baby, and I honestly attribute it to the mass amounts of vitamins I was taking (tons of them!) and being more active.  We also had a lot of time to BD so ... I'm hoping that works for me again after this baby is born.  Perhaps something in there can help you out too.  I know how stressful it can be, and how much it can hurt when people say "relax".  But it is true, it happens when we least expect it sometimes.

I am having a Dec baby! Well hoping so.... I am not having too many symptoms and I am on a high dose of Progesterone and from what I understand that can just delay the inevitable as far as a miscarriage goes. I have  Dr. appt on Friday but until then I am obsessing on whether this baby will hang on or not!!! Can anyone tell me if they are taking progesterone will they miscarry as normal or do u have to stop the hormone first???

i got my bfp on 15dpo. don't give up till you see af.

[pertykitty]

torra there are so many women that dont have any symptoms that early! i hope its your time. are you still temping? are they still high? i will keep my eye out for your posts this week. we need more bfp's this month!! we need more dec. babies!!!

Well... AF showed up EARLY this morning.  UGGHHH!!  Figures.  I'm frustrated.  I updated my info on FF this morning and it seems even though I got my +OPK on the 8th and FF said I O'd on the 9th...when I entered my info (AF today) it changed my possible O days to the 10th, 11th, and 12th.  How can that be???  See what I mean about the numbers game??  I don't know what it reliable and what isn't!!  I'm sure you can hear my frustration.... I guess next month we will be BDing every other day starting with CD 11 and go for a week and see if that works.
