Same boat. I was able to get confirmation from my dr that I did ovulate this month at least but during my period :/ you have just have to have an open mind. You have to look on the bright side. I will start BD every other day if possible and just have fun to avoid stress to not delay anything on my body.

How did your doctor confirm you ovulated during your cycle?

Not everyone gets a pos so early.
I once tested neg at 6 weeks, got my pos 3 days later.
It can happen. That was a healthy full term prg too. Also, y r u so convinced its game over before your af arrives? Atleast wait for that before u despair.
Wishing u luck! Stay positive :)

I'm kind of a pessimist when it comes to things. This will be our 5th child and I am 37 which reduces our chances. I don't feel like af is going to start, but my cycles are normally very minimal anyways. Thank you for the support. I will just have to wait and see what happens in a couple of days.

That's a great question (about staying positive). I think you just have to become as educated as you can and consistently use proven strategies. Otherwise, I think you have to try not to get your hopes up. The TWW can drive anyone crazy. Try not to think of TTC constantly. If you can get to a point where you can observe your symptoms and track you cycle as somewhat of an observer you can make it to the last day of the cycle with your sanity. I still haven't figured out how you can not obsess when it gets down to the wire when AF is late or is 1-2 days off without just giving up on charting and tracking. And some people do just that for a bit to give themselves a break from the mental exhaustion that can come with TTC for long periods of time.

"yourdays.com" is a site that only shows you your predicted fertile days without charting and tracking...to allow you to kinda unplug from the data overload...good luck!!!
