At 9 DPO you are not even close to out. This is the average implantation day and it takes a few more days to get a positive test. How long have you been trying? It is best to not get discouraged each month if you can avoid it. You really aren't out until AF shows up. GL!

Looking at the + pregnancy test gets me down. I have been trying for 4 months now. I have IBS-d and this time for the first time in years I had normal bowel function after I O'd. I could eat foods I have not eaten in so long. This morning I had my first attack. Which signals to me that my progesterone levels may be starting to drop. I am still sleepy but I have not other symptoms. The only time I have had normal bowel function is when I got pregnant so I started to get excited. Now I am in limbo

4 months isn't that bad, I know it feels like forever when you're in it but I know women who tried upwards of 10 years. My 21 months doesn't feel so bad compared to that :) Just remember that every pregnancy is different and you may not have the same effects this time with the IBS that you did last time. Really, you are not out until the witch sings. :)
