Gutted I’m not pregnant

And I really shouldn’t be

it is not the right time, in fact it is a bad time, mortgage about to go up and not over the worst childcare wise and absolute killer dream hols booked for 6 months. I know all of this BUT

BUT, DH and I were a bit careless contraception wise this last month or so. My cycle has been a bit all over the place (work stress) enter pregnancy panic, think i must’ve ovulated much later in my normally fairly regular cycle so it’s something like cycle day 58 now. I’ve tested and it was a negative and I didn’t think I’d feel this way but I’m absolutely gutted. It’s not the reaction I thought I’d have but I can’t help how I feel. I know all of the above reasons but still I feel disappointed. I know as I’ve already had 2 successful pregnancies both conceived naturally if we should try to ttc it ‘should’ be relatively straight forward. But I still feel disappointed.

i don’t know why. Anyone else

It's a normal reaction I think. Maybe part of you misses the baby bit and the prospect of it, even if it's not really what you want right now.

Years of infertility, IVF, then finally a baby but followed by miscarriages when ttc for another stopped us from even hoping or wanting it anymore.

Yet every month I think 'Oh, maybe this month.' Even when there's no chance, I dont want it and we aren't trying, it's just ingrained now.
