Question

:( Feeling pretty defeated today 12 dpo and bfn, any hope?

CD 28 and 12 DPO, 2nd cycle on clomid. After 6 years of trying you would think I would not get my hopes up but after finding out my progesterone level was 22.5 on CD 21 I got my hopes up. Clomid worked, I ovulated but still looks like I am gonna be out this month :( I have every symptom in the book but of course that is just hormones or clomid playing tricks on me. I tested with a wondfo 25 hcg test this morning. Do you think there is still hope or should I brace myself for AF. I just feel like crying today. I am about to be 35 been trying since I was 29 for number 2 and it just seems like it is impossible, feeling like a failure and feeling angry that all these people who don't want a baby seem to pop them out every 9 months.... ugh sorry for venting lol

Any hope ?

Hey, I don't really have any answers for you but wanted to offer you some support anyway. Statistically it's totally possible to still get a bfp after dpo 12 - if you look around online there are soooo many stories from women who didn't test positive for ages! As they say, you're never out until AF comes. I think bracing yourself for the worst and then being surprised is usually best for your mental health, but I can totally believe that after trying so long you just want to cling on to any hope you can get. Please don't feel like a failure. I don't know you but you seem like a really emotionally honest person and in my experience those are the best kind of people. And just think, when you do get your bfp it'll be the most loved and wanted baby in the entire world! Anyway, sending you loads of hugs and baby dust and keeping everything crossed for you. Don't ever feel bad for venting :)

You're not out until AF arrives- so yes there is still hope. Some pregnancy tests and more sensitive than others and sometimes it takes the HcG to absorb in urine longer for some women. I have been TTC for awhile now too with now luck and I am on Femera for the 5th month in a row now with no luck... BUT staying positive and seeing the glass as half full is hard to do but so very important (easier said than done I know) It is nice to vent on here sometimes becauase it's nice to know you are not alone in this world and that there are strangers rooting for you from America (that's where I am from). If you are having symptoms then that is always a good sign.. I know TTW is hard but wait and test in a couple of days, you may be surprised!
If you ever want to vent you can PM me and I'll talk with you- I don't mind!
Good luck and I've got my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!! Sending you lots and lots of baby dust!

I didn't get a positive on a digital test until 4 days after my missed period. Don't count it out until you actually get a period! :)

My husband and I have been tftc for almost 3 years. I just wanted to say I can relate to this post so much. I have done femera and ovidrel without success. I am currently 10 dpo and stressing because I tested today with negative results. My friend tells me there's still hope but it is hard not to stress and think this is another failed month. I too feel frustrated with the process. I am wondering 1) if there is anything you have found to cope with these feelings and 2) if I could add you as a friend. Perhaps é we can support each other on our journeys?
