I'm feeling depressed today....

So AF shouldn't be here until tomorrow or Friday. I took a HPT this morning and it was negative. I know a lot of people don't get a positive HPT until after AF doesn't show up, but I'm starting to lose hope. I know we've only been trying for 3 months, but I am so tired of getting my hopes up every month and then being disappointed. The crazy thing is that when I got PG in May we weren't trying to get PG and there was only one day that we BD'd within my "fertile" period so we got PG really easy that month. I guess that made me think that it was going to be easy when we started trying. TTC is an emotional rollercoaster

Just keep trying and don't stress about it, I know easier said than done.
The right thing will happen when it's ment to be.

luvmykids replied: Hang in there, I know so many people who got pg when they weren't TTC so if you can trick yourself into thinking that way it may be sooner than you think. I know, easier said than done.

This isn't the first time I have gone through this. My first child (16 years ago) it took me nearly 3 years. Then I assumed it would take awhile for the next one, so I wasn't paying attention and I got pregnant with my second child when my new baby was just 9 months...go figure! Hang in there!

I know how hard it is to keep seeing those negative tests. Is there a weekend soon you and your husband can just spend some fun time away together, and try to stop focusing on it so much, and just let it happen, thats when it seems too happen for most.when you least expect it.
Good Luck

Christie replied:
Thank you all for the support, I really appreciate it I haven't given up hope yet because I have been having some symptoms. Also I posted another topic about this, but I took an HPT today and then a few hours later there was a faint second line. I know that this could be an evaporation line, but I have read that it could also be that I am pregnant and just don't have enough HCG in my system yet. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed. I am going to test again tomorrow even though I know I should probably wait until Friday.

melanie_craig replied: esp if you want it really badly...that negative really hurts eh? i know the feeling! and everyone says keeping trying, and its not what i want to hear right then, i sometimes just want people to agree with me and say "that is really crappy"

katie27 replied: I'm so sorry about your negative. I hope it's just too early and af stays away! I understand how depressing ttc can be. Hang in there our time is comming soon!

I feel like a big baby complaining after only trying for 3 months when you have been trying for over a year. How do you stay so positive? I can't even imagine. Well, AF did come today I would love to stay in contact with you though. I think it would help me stay positive to talk to others who are trying for their first
