Question

Im going to feel like a failure if Im not pregnant. Advice anyone???

I was so sure we had conceived. Yesterday I did not feel anything at all. Now I just feel like af is on her way. I want to keep positive but it is hard! I don't want to waste time taking a test because it's probably too early and I know Im going to feel like a failure when I only get one line. I really wish I had someone to share these feelings with. I have not told anyone we are TTC because I don't want to be constantly asked if we are pregnant yet! Anyone in the same boat out there?

I feel the same way too. After trying so hard and doing everything you can think of to try to get pregnant then having AF show up is such a slap in the face. I cried today because I felt like I failed. I m in the same boat.

I am brand new at ttc for my first, so I can't say I can relate completely yet. Keep your head up. Don't lose hope. If it doesn't happen this cycle, you'll pick yourself up & try for the next one. In no way are you a failure & I know you believe that deep down. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. Promise :)

I know exactly how you feel as well. My finacee and I have been TTC for a little over a year now after a miscarriage and it's just getting harder and harder to stay positive. Every cycle it's the same thing I feel so much like I am pregnant and either AF shows or I get a BFN. None of us are failures it just must not be our time. Keep your head up and will it happen. That's all I keep telling myself to keep going with it as well. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Baby Dust to all!!!

The same going on here. I am not testing bec. I just know it would be another BFN. Have 0 hope for this cycle. AF due tomorrow. With one BFN after another it is easy to start resenting your body and feeling like a failure...I am struggling with it too....try to stay positive and if AF comes, tackle the new cycle with renewed confidence. I am not sharing our efforts TTC with anyone except one very very close friend. Being asked about "progress"....I couldn't handle it at this point.

Feeling the same here. We had a good chance this cycle only for AF to show yesterday. Our daughter was unplanned and I never expected to be pregnant,so I wasn't paying attention to signs/symptoms. Now I think everything is a symptom. It's always on my mind. I hate it. Now I just can't wait to try again. No one knows we are trying. I have been off BC since September now. Granted there was a month or two I know we were out, but I'm losing patience and feeling like a failure:( I just keep praying. We all have to hang in there. I'm glad I'm not alone.
