Heartbroken... :( TTC #2 is so difficult!
I don't even know what to think. TTC #1 was so easy and now we are struggling with #2. I was so sure we did everything right during this cycle - and I even felt pregnant! Did a test yesterday at 12/13 DPO and it was negative - was hoping for a great Father's Day gift. However there was still hope as AF was only supposed to arrive next weekend. But today AF shows up, really painful, even woke me up from pain during the night. I barely ever have pain that requires a pain tablet during AF. My cycles are always stock standard 28 days, so what could I have done that will suddenly change it to 22/23 days? I am reeling from shock...
Has anyone else had this experience before?

I couldn't possibly relate to your situation more. We got pregnant with our first at month 6 and its now been over a year of trying for #2. I wasn't "over-tracking" when we were TTC for #1 which is really unfortunate because I feel like my cycle has changed. My average cycle is very short now, from 21-25 days on average and I seem to be ovulating late... from CD 14-17. How long have you been trying for? We are giving it one more go naturally and then I'll go to my OB and see if he recommends seeing an infertility specialist (if I get my period - praying I don't). It's so frustrating when your body has already done it once right? Hang in there... you're not alone!

Ok, kinda lost here. Ur 12/13dpo (yesterday) and AF isnt due for another week? If u O early, AF arrives that many days early as well. The cycle doesnt remain 28 days. ex. U ovulate CD14, AF arrives CD29, thats a 28 day cycle...the next cycle u O CD10 and AF arrives CD25, which is now a 24 day cycle. She's not "early", she's on time with ur luteal phase length (14 days avg). How are u confirming ur O date? Looking at ur dpo, it sounds like she's right on time. I would consider temping, if u arent already.

I also can really relate to this my first child I got preg straight away! My second child also I got pregnant straight away! I have regular cycles always have. We have been trying to conceive number 3 for almost two years now! So frustrating and don't understand why it isn't happening :( how long have you been ttc for? X

Me and my husband had our first child 7 years ago. Went on birth control twice in those 7 years once was a year the other no more then a few months. To try and see if it could speed up the process. And still no baby. Only in June though did we really try to conceive we had sex everyday just about except maybe 3 days but around ovulation we had sex everyday that week. Today I'm 14dpo AF is supposed to show today but no signs what so ever. I spot a day or two before AF and nothing but I keep getting bfn. It is heart breaking I hope the best for you!

Thank you for everyones comments and answers. I'm feeling a bit better now but I have been seriously down these past couple of weeks... We have been trying for 7 months now, and I feel very bad for complaining as many of you have been trying for much longer! With our first bundle I fell pregnant with the very first try, thats why it is just so frustrating for me. But for now I am just breathing and hoping and trying again! Positive thoughts to everyone - and please let me know if you are blessed with another miracle soon!
