BFP Yesterday, BFP Today, Heartbroken. Just need kind words.

(Sorry in advance this is the whiniest thing ever... I don't know what's come over me.)

I don't really know what I need to hear. I'm just really lonely and I have no one in my life who I can talk to about this, so I guess anything from someone who understands what this feels like. All my friends either NEVER want babies or got pregnant without trying, my husband wouldn't care if we got pregnant this month or next year, it's all the same to him and he thinks I shouldn't worry so much. My mom gives the worst advice in the world (the only thing she's ever contributed when I've talked about TTC is "babies don't come with receipts so you better be sure you want one"... thanks, Mom). Grandma and MIL both get uncomfortable and change the topic, they'll only want to hear when I AM pregnant. So... I'm basically as alone as it gets.

Anyway, we've been TTC since October. This cycle I swear I felt different. This time was the only time I felt what had to be implantation pains, my boobs actually hurt when they never did before, I was fatigued beyond belief, weird irregular acne, etc.

Yesterday (11dpo) with FRER 6 days sooner FMU I got two pink lines within a minute. It was really faint but in the right spot and DEFINITELY there. Is it possible to be an evap when it showed up right away, and it's such a pretty pink color?

Anyway, I was so excited all day, I bought a baby book to surprise my husband in a few days when I could be SURE (thankfully I didn't tell him). I didn't tell anybody.

This morning I was so excited to test again, but I ran three tests from the same FMU (clearblue digital, Wondflo cheapo, and another FRER 6DS) and... all three blank.

Devastated. I've been horribly sad all day, more than ever before. I was hoping maybe I'm just emotional bc I actually AM pregnant? I'm almost never THIS emotional, even when I'm PMSing. Sobbed all the way home, thinking about how cruel it is to get a BFP for nothing. So, I came home today and tried again on 4 hr hold, 1 Wondflo, 1 FRER 6DS. Blank again. So I'm pretty sure my sadness is just a legitimate response to not being pregnant and not a hopeful sign that I could be pregnant.

So... AF hasn't shown up yet, but I'm too sad and hopeless to think she won't. She'd be due in a few days.

Thanks for reading this, and please comment with ANYTHING, honestly, I just need to hear that I'm not alone and anything you say will help. Thank you so, so much. If I didn't have you ladies I don't know what I'd do.

Hi Chickadee,

Sounds like you have been through an emotional time and I completely understand. You may have had a chemical pregnancy (which is when you become pregnant but it fails very early on). I've experienced this for the last 2 cycles after almost 3 years of trying to conceive and all I can say is that it really really sucks.

What I've found helps is talking to people about it, whether it's my DH or people on here and it will surprise you how many people know exactly what you are going through. Even after 33 cycles I still get a bit crazy during my 2ww but it does get better as time goes on, especially if you find things to keep you busy.

Are you taking vitamins?

I absolutely agree with the above post- you need lots of support right now wherever you can get it. No one knows what its like to go through TTC until they try it. We are the womb bearers, we are the ones who experience it firsthand. Every emotion is valid.

It's not easy to just "be patient", but please find ways to be good to yourself and lift your spirits. Talk to us, take a bath, take a walk at a park, watch fun movies with or without children in them...keep your dream and vision building. The only thing that helps me "be patient" is to believe that there is a reason for it to take as long as it will take- meaning- the child I will end up having will be an amazing person and it will have been worth the wait for that exact bit of DNA to come along.

Lots of hugs and baby dust

I'm so sorry. That totally sucks.
I am just a terrible person since TTC because I have a lot of trouble being happy for other people when they do. Since when am I so jealous or whatever? I am actively trying to be excited for co-workers, cousins, etc. When I was always genuinely excited before. So this whole process is emotional in ways I never expected. It's absolutely acceptable for you to cry and be upset. Its a big deal! But let's get on here and find that hopefulness again somehow....
At least we are not alone!
