morning all :)
hope you're doing well, peachy sorry to hear that you're feeling a bit unattractive atm tell dh to get his act together, lol.
Well, it was cd48 this morning, and .. af arrived. only 20 days late, lol something of a record for me. In reality this is actually a bit of a relief for me, as because the pg tests were all bfn I had started to worry that there was something more serious wrong with me. But tbh I think this month's experience has drawn a line under ttc for me and it's time for me to cut my losses and accept things the way they are. I can't go through this every month, it would have been one thing if my cycles were painfully regular and I came on every month at around about the same time, and they were just that until approx three months ago, but the past 4 cycles have become longer and longer, to the extent this month where I was 99% sure that I was pg because of how long the cycle was, and have now turned out not to be. There comes a time where one has to accept that things don't always turn out the way we wanted, and although I feel very sad that I won't fall pregnant and have another baby, I know that I have so much to be thankful for. I have a dh who loves me, a beautiful ds, I have been able to experience motherhood and all the joy that that can bring. Now that my ds is growing up I can hopefully continue with my studies and ultimately gain my counselling diploma and will then hopefully be able to use those skills to help others. Who knows maybe I'll even record that album I've been going on about :O.
I wish everyone on here the best of luck with ttc, I've met some lovely people on here and I will of course still be around on mn and will keep a close watchful eye on these threads, because there are still lots of potential bfp's out there.
Take care all and never forget to smile :)
((hugs))) xx
