Period 7 days late and BFN - why do I feel like my body is mocking me?

[Cactus30]

TTC for 2 years, never had a positive pregnancy test but after being 7 days late I thought I was really in with a chance. I took a test four days ago which was negative and I was so upset, but seeing as I'm still not on I'd started to build my hopes up again only to have then dashed all over again.

Is it only me who feels like my own body is doing this on purpose? I know rationally its not...but it's so hard not to get down on yourself!

And it's also upsetting me that my friends and family dont feel supportive, I told my best friend and sister that I was late a few days ago and they haven't asked me at all...I know they probably feel awkward but it would be nice to feel like I had some support!

Sorry you're feeling down and unsupported Cactus30. People who don't suffer from infertility may not understand the anguish it causes. Hopefully you get your period soon. It's hard to stay positive but perhaps the more you tell yourself the right things the sooner you'll start to believe them. Not easy. Try cute animal videos, cheerful music or meditation videos online if it helps take the edge off

Hi @cactus30, I know exactly how you feel I have zero support from my family either, people in general with kids definitely don't emphasize with us because they didn't go through the same thing.
My periods do play games with me as well, maybe you just had a longer follicular phase this month? Are you doing OPK's?
