11 dpo BFN - so confused!!!

So, this is my first time posting ever. We have been TTC for about 3 years now. We have 2 girls, 4 and 3 years old. I had a m/c after my youngest, so been pregnant total of 3 times.

So, this cycle I have been really assuming since 3 dpo that I'm pregnant. I have had a lot of symptoms that I remember from my other pregnancies. We timed it perfect too, using the OPKs and doing the BD twice a day every day surrounding the positive OPK.

Since about 5-6 dpo I've been having cramping, pressure, weird pings and pokes, etc. Nausea, feeling flushed and warm, lower bach ache, etc etc. So many pregnancy symptoms.

Anyway, I have tested everyday with FRER since 8 dpo, including twice today - all BFN. When I just went to test just now, I had a crazy long clear stretchy CM string that reached easily all the way to the toilet water (so sorry TMI) - but that is not normal for me even during fertile time, let alone before AF. ?????

I think I ovulated on CD 18 - got the positive OPK on CD 17 - so now I am on CD 29 (I usually always have exactly 29 day cycles). So this would be 11 dpo. AF is due tomorrow. I could swear I felt implantation on 9 dpo, and again on 10 dpo (don't ask how I know, it was just a feeling, so I could be wrong)

All of this to say.... what the heck???? Is it still possible to be pregnant with all these FRER negatives??? What is up with this insane CM?

:( *sigh* bummed out and confused. i was so excited these last two weeks.

Hi thanks for the support - you hang in there too!

Today my AF is SUPPOSED to be here - this is CD 30 for me in what are always clockwork 29 day cycles. NO AF. No feelings like AF is even beginning to come. Even all the cramping I've had every day for the last week is gone today (when it's supposed to be crampy, it stops, go figure).

I now have a cold too. :( So I'm feeling pretty blah. But this morning at 12 dpo, another FRER BFN. So at this point I'm feeling pretty much out this month. I will update either way though.

Baby Dust!

Yes please keep me informed.. You know they say cold/flu like symptoms is a sign also!!! Fingers crossed for you.

Well, in this case, it was a clear progression from my older daughter being sick, to my younger, then my younger popped into bed with me in the middle of the night last night and I woke up feeling yucky. So, I can't blame this particular cold on pregnancy - unfortunately! Just on a cuddly baby breathing germs all over me all night in her sleep!

Update:

This afternoon I began to get what I thought was AF - I had cramps, low backache, right side ovary pain (I always get my cramps in that area when period starts) it built up over a half hour or so like it always does before I start "flow" - then I started to "bleed" - except that it was only a pink/very light red color (looked diluted) and after about an hour (which left only a two inch by one inch spot on my pad) - everything stopped.

No more cramps, no more bleeding.

This NEVER has happened to me in my life. I always start my period abruptly - heavy flow. What the heck is this?

Gee wiz!!!! So what's the verdict? Did AF show up "full force"?

Not really, but it started up again at least this morning. It's still way different than normal - but I definitely am done hoping for this cycle.

I just don't know if I want to go to a fertility specialist or not at this point. I'm sick of it not being "easy" ;P 3 years is a bit long to be waiting. But every time I feel sad and broken inside about it, I start to feel guilty for feeling this way - since I already have 2 beautiful kids. I feel like I don't have a right to grieve my infertility, because there's other people who can't experience motherhood at all.

So I go from sobbing and crying and being depressed, to chastising myself and criticizing myself for those feelings. I feel like a nut, going back and forth like this.

I don't know. I don't know what I'm "supposed" to feel. Or do.
