Do you ever get a gut feeling that it isn't the month?

I'm 7dpo. Normally I'd be chomping at the bit to test but this month I just feel like I know it's not the one and I want to delay seeing that empty white space on the pee stick.

I've no idea why I feel like this, we dtd a lot around my fertile time but I just feel in my gut this isn't it.

Anyone else get that??

Hi.

The struggle is real... I am dealing with the opposite. I got a BFN and still can't convince myself to let go and focus on trying next month.

I think you are just dealing with anxiety. You probably don't want to feel disappointed again so you're preparing in advance for a bad result. But only time will tell. When are you planning to test? Have you been trying for a long time?

Hope you get your good news in a few days!

Yeah and it’s even worse now since I’ve had a BFP before so I know what symptoms I should be having. Just ends up leaving you really deflated until AF comes.

I hold onto the hope that every pregnancy is different. Last year when I had chemical my boobs were soooooooo sore so as soon as I get a niggle I’m hopeful. Then I read a million threads that women are weeks and weeks pregnant had have zero symptoms so I’m trying not to compare but it’s so difficult. Wishing you all the luck hun

Thanks for the replies!

I woke up this morning feeling a teeny bit more positive so decided to use one of my giant bag of one step ultra earlies and of course, negative. It's kind of ruined my day so you're probably right about the anxiety @Babygirl01.

Im not due my period until Saturday (5 days time) but they claim to be able to show a positive 6 days before sooo looks like my gut was right!

Hope you all get your positive tests soon ladies.

Yes pretty much every month. On cycle 17 with two chemicals. Up until about a year I did have a bit of hope but generally think it won’t happen now. About to start letrozole which is raising my hopes that it could.

Any symptoms pre a positive test are unlikely to be related to pregnancy though so I think it’s normal to not feel like it’s happened / it’s just impossible to know until HCG is rising but at that point a test should show ☺️
