CD 22 and already feeling pessimistic

[boowaitingforbaby]

I don't know what it is about this month but it's like I can already tell it's not my month.
Does anyone else get like this? This is my third cycle of trying. The previous 2 I was symptom spotting like a mad woman, and POAS like there was no tomorrow.
This month i just don't feel the same - I know it's early on in TTC for me but I'm teetering on hopeless right now. Anyone else had this this early on? Or am just being a tad pathetic (I already know I am being tbh I think I just wanted a moan 😖)

I've had that feeling through many of my cycle since starting ttc a year and a half ago. I think it's part of the grief. Don't let it get to you so early on. Find distractions.

Sorry you're feeling so down. This ttc business is not all fun and games. I found I went from one cycle to the next feeling elated and down, and the cycle I got my bfp (dd now 2yo) was when I was distracted and not symptom spotting. Not that it could really make a difference but I found obsessing over the tww so all consuming that I needed some pretty big distractions to get through it. Don't give up, do look after yourself and try not too make it the central focus and you're sure to feel less hopeless. Also venting on here helps!

Fingers crossed you'll get your bfp soon

Hi @boowaitingforbaby I'm on cd21 and also feeling exactly the same. Nothing seems to be looking positive for this month so think in my mind I've 99.9% ruled myself out already. I know I'll still be gutted when af shows though as can never get it fully in my mind that I'm out!

Thanks for the replies it's nice (but a little sad) that I'm not alone in my feelings. I know it's silly to feel this way so early on. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago now and I guess I just didn't realise
How many apps/supplements/time it would take because I'd gotten pregnant by accident before whilst taking the pill!
I'm just feeling a bit weepy and sorry for myself I guess. Fingers crossed BFP all round soon.

Very similar to me @boowaitingforbaby
Ds was conceived while on the pill, I had no clue till 11 weeks. Then 2 years later dd conceived while changing over to a different contraception.
Since then when we decided to actually try, I've had 3 miscarriages, last one was a late on 2 months ago so I feel am starting to get fed up with all of this crap!
Fingers crossed this is a lucky month for us x

Im feeling the same *boowaitingforbaby. CD27 and either 8 or 9 dpo today but AF not due until Sat or Sun. Just really feeling like it's not happened this month. I can't even be bothered symptom spotting which is unlike me. Been TTC over 12 months now so I think deep down I just feel like it's never gonna happen.
