Feeling fed up and down in the dumps

[jalapenobusiness]

Trying for a baby. Three days late - but had all the pre period symptoms. Murderous PMT, Cramps, cravings. then nothing. Also feel nauseas, dizzy and no appetite. but no period. So yesterday did test and negative.

So today, no period still, and just feeling shite. I am aware I'm being silly - and I'm probably looking for symptoms. Just needed a moan.

Hi jalapeño. Have been there a few times myself this year. Dread to think what I've spent on sticks in Boots this year. So all I can say is you're not alone. I've also read about people who don't get a BFP for a few weeks, so that could still be you. Fingers crossed.

I've been there too. Last time I was four days late. It doesn't help that PMT and early pregnancy symptoms can be the same! I think the anxiety about whether or not you are pregnant can delay things- I've been at least a day late but usually more since we started trying. It's like a form of torture when you just don't know.

You're not being silly, it does get a bit much at times.

I found out today another friend is pregnant, that is 3 in 2 months and I'm bloody delighted for all of them but it does make me want to have a little moan to DH.

Eugh same here, this morning had a birth announcement and yesterday 2 pregnancy announcements! Sometimes I feel so horrible when I think "not another one" when really I should be happy and excited for them!

Can't complain about AF this month though as it came a day early this month :-( i know the feeling when it's a week or so late and still BFN :-( xxx

Me too, was due on Tuesday, done another test tonight and its negative, i'm usually on time, this is our first month ttc, this is utter torture!!

Update for you. in the end I was 6 days late - and then the period came! It's like my body is playing a joke on me. I was upset - but hopefully next month.... good luck everybody x x x

Hello

I'm new here so hope i'm posting in the right place!

I'm fed up too. Been TTC for eight months now and every month I get my hopes to be disappointed again. This month I was convinced it had happened as i'd been feeling sick and really tired.

Just did a test and what a surprise- negative. Seriously fed up now and if one more person tells me that trying should be fun I think I might lose it at them!

Sorry - needed a rant.

Agree Sally32. It's not fun and it IS torture. You're apparently not meant to think negatively but you have to have guts and a heart of steel not to be thrown around the place by the emotional game that is ttc.

Woken up today with AF signs on what is my second round. I am three days away from AF. The feeling of being crushed and feeling like a useless vessel is back.
