So hard to go through...I can relate. Just got my period a week ago. :( I just try to look at it as a fresh start again, another month and maybe you will have great news! Try to go out and treat yourself. The best thing you can do is take care of you! If it is really getting to you think about seeing a therapist for some advise on coping.

We have been TTC for 16+ months with the help of a dr ....so far without success. I know how it feels to keep seeing nothing but your period coming from all these efforts, trying, hoping, and waiting. It is rather uninspiring, even depressing at times. However, I try to look at it this way: with the first day of my period a NEW cycle starts and there is a NEW chance for success. This feels far better to me than the usual annoying 2WW. You can also start thinking about some new things you might want to incorporate into your "fertility plan": improved nutrition, may be a new supplement, switching drs if needed, acupuncture or massage. All these things can help brighten your outlook and give you new motivation and confidence for the upcoming cycles. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

I just finished my period too. And cried as this was my third cycle trying and I've never had to wait before. I saw my personal doctor and he said to wait 12 cycles and then he'll look into it! I don't want to wait that long so if I don't get a bfp this month I'm going back anyway. I'm sending my husband to get checked out because I feel healthy so maybe he's letting us down. Don't worry, I know where your coming from girlfriend.

It is hard :( after 6 years of trying for #2 I kinda feel numb to it. I expect my period even though I do hold out a little hope every month. .. Best wishes.

Same here, my period came a few days early an I thought I had every pregnancy symptom known to man, I even done a test during bleeding cos I still wasn't convinced :/.
it is depressing an tha was my first cycle so I cant even imagine being a year or more down the line an having no success, I really feel for couples who go through this, I just wish everyone the best of luck.
