@itsAna - Omg I feel you so hard on this. I had a MC in June and now that I THINK I'm pregnant, I'm in complete denial. I'm still lightly spotting. My brain tells me it's IB, but until I start feeling symptoms other than the current feeling of my boobs feeling bigger and slowly gaining a higher sense of smell, I don't believe it. I tested last night at 11dpo and got a , so I'm afraid of it turning into a chemical pregnancy, so I don't want to say anything to the husband until I KNOW for sure.
I guess I'll wait until I officially miss AF. Wishing you the best of luck and pray you get your
!

@emma absolutely do not feel foolish grieving over a early loss pregnancy. So many of us immediately begin dreaming of our little one and planning as soon as we see two pink lines. We had an early miscarriage in November and it took me a few months to be "okay." I'm beginning to get back to normal physically now finally too.

@emma: never believe you are being foolish for grieving a loss no matter the length you carried.... I miscarried my first at 19 weeks and my second at almost 5 weeks, and both are heartbreaking, both leave you feeling helpless and hopeless or like a failure. I almost wanted to give up.... but I'm so glad I didn't... healing thoughts for you
@Dee: understandable... I'm terrible at reading too much into everything my body does... and also for testing early, which is just more torture.. just can't seem to help myself.
@Anna: I always called my doctor after every time I got a positive test... because when those hormone levels do rise as they should, it is just such a huge stress relieving weight off my chest! I've always testing early with all my pregnancies (except my very first that I lost, which was before I obsessed over ttc) and it didn't always "curse" me. Although it doesn't really help much because my doctor won't do testing until the day AF is due or late... but I tested daily to see if the line got darker until I could get in to see him. So early testing is pointless and stressful either way, so I need to try to find some self control and wait until it is closer to AF time.

Hi ladies...AF is here so it’s now CD1 for me. My cycles are usually spot on 28 days but last cycle was 29 which gave me false hope as it’s never late. I prayed if I didn’t conceive this cycle that it would go back to 28 days and it did. So that’s a plus. We have to look for the good in all things.
I plan to take a real relaxed approach this cycle. Drink til it’s pink ( positive pregnancy test). Going to pour a glass of wine now.

Omg...I'm REALLY questioning what's going on down there. If I wasn't tracking, I would SO think AF came early, but my cervix is so high I can barely reach. My periods usually rotate from light to heavy, so I'm wondering if I was due for a heavy flow this time and maybe THAT'S why I'm 'spotting' this much, but I don't need a pantyliner, I just get stuff when I pee. THIS IS SO CONFUSING!

Ladies, it has been such a pleasure talking to you and sharing our TTC journey together. My husband and I are pushing the pause button for now as the Army is giving us orders sooner than we expected. I don't want to be 8 or 9 months pregnant or have a newborn and have to move across the country or even continents. It is very heartbreaking that we can't give our daughter a sibling soon but everything happens for a reason.
So in order to look forward to something, my hubby and I booked a cruise to the Bahamas in October! I want to drink on that cruise so I will not be pregnant! (Maybe we will make a cruise baby though!)
I wish you ladies the best of luck and I may pop in from time to time to see you all with a BFP!

@dee I want to test on the 19th but we'll see if I actually get that far and dont just wait it out...
@emma every loss is heart breaking babe I'm so sorry you have to go through this and never feel guilty/not allowed/stupid for grieving over an early loss... You deserved that baby and you'll deserve and get your rainbow baby
@kitkat I totally agree with you about confirming first... At this point I just have my SO going you have to be pregnant every night... And when I tell him 12 more days he corrects me like :no it was 12 days a few days ago lol... When are you planning on testing again? And I hope it's not a chemical
@crystal that's exactly why I'd go to the doctor because if something is low they can help me out and I so want a healthy full term baby !!
@bimi I absolutely love your approach it's the best I've ever heard!! Good luck babe I might join you if it doesnt happen this month
@amarie good luck with your SO's plans and have fun on the trip !! Hopefully by then you can come back with a bfp !!

So SO's birthday is the 10th of March and it's his big 30 so we're throwing him a surprise prostitutes and priests themed birthday party lol... Which is odd but exciting I cant wait to dress him up haha !! (No offense to anyone as I know the theme can be a bit dodgy)... He also surprised me last night and bought me a new car (The Volkswagen Tiguan) which we're getting in May/June... I'm so happy to be with him he's completely amazing and I wouldn't trade him for the world

@Emma i am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you
@Scuba sorry AF showed up
@Anna it’s amazingly how lovingly you talk of your SO. I hope he knows how lucky he is too! I really hope you 2 get to celebrate an addition to your family very soon!
As for me, AF due tomorrow. I got what I think is a nasty evap on a cheapy this evening and am now wondering why I tested again! I was 99% sure I was out this cycle and had made my peace with it but now this brings back just enough hope that there is definitely room for disappointment again tomorrow when AF show up!
