The pain of seeing one line

[Neon7]

Just tested, periods due Saturday. Nothing. Not even a shadow.

Put 100% effort in this cycle, it was exhausting and took a lot of commitment. Gave up a lot from my diet, added a lot in that I wouldn’t normally eat. Did the SMEP plan.

Just feel like it’s all a waste really x

It's so hard, can certainly offer a handhold.

It's not Saturday yet though, and presumably not fmu. So not over yet.

I never got a positive until late late and first pee.

Fingers crossed for you.

You know when you just know...

It takes a lot out of me, mentally and physically. I go around during tww as if I could be pregnant so try and take is easy, not go heavy on pulling and tugging and lifting.

Just feel stupid

I feel your pain. My period is due on Sunday but sure I’m out too. SMEP is exhausting.

How many months have you been TTC?

Sorry you’re having a hard day OP.

5th cycle, I know it’s not long, I’m not moaning that it’s not happening quickly. Just ranting because I’m exhausted. It really dominates your month the planning, from catching ovulation right through to the days before your period when your able to test.

I read about people who say the moment they relaxed it happened. When the stopped opks it happened. For me, if I just wing it and dtd whenever it would be a stab in the dark. I’d rather know I’m at least dtd on the right days to be in with even a little chance of conception x

It’s the 2ww that is the killer. I symptom spot like a nutter and then am gutted when AF appears.

Who knew that getting pregnant would be such hard work.

I'm due Saturday too been 2 years now, I do the same every month it's an emotional rollercoaster. Every month it hurts a little more😔 I just wish I get a BFP deep down I know it's never going to happen.

I'm due Sunday (11dpo today) and I'm with you, we tried smep this month too and I'm struggling at the moment, so many symptoms but know that even though some aren't normal for me they could all be pre period symptoms 😢
We're cycle 12 and waiting for partners SA results at the moment (distinct possibility we could have male factor issues) so that isn't helping either 😢😢

I pray from my heart you all get your little babies really soon. I know pregnancy isn’t the be all and end all but why does it feel like it is x

I'm sorry OP. I understand how you feel and you are right, TTC is absolutely exhausting. When people say "relax and it will happen" or "don't think about it, it will happen" I always want to punch them in the face. I've been pregnant a few times, sometimes easily and other times with great difficulty it seemed. TTC sex is absolutely rubbish too. It's fine at the start but after a few months it's routine and tedious. I hope you can find a bit of zen in your own mind though (I will not tell you to relax!) so that you don't feel the lows as strongly x
