Even after being told the only way we will probably ever get pregnant is through IVF, i still always get my hopes up if I am a few days late. WHY? I just want AF to hurry up and come so I stop with the hope that will just disappoint. I know its important to keep hope in general, but so annoying too!

I can totally understand! I am CD30 and BFN! My body seems to be telling me different, but the test doesn't lie. I don't understand it either. Why good people can't get pregnant and then the lowest scum on the earth can. It just isn't right! But we are here fighting for us and just keep your head up. Praying for a BFP for you!

Thanks for the encouragement kerjen. i just saw your other post, and can totally relate to that as well! i am a social worker at a pregnancy center and on an almost daily basis answer calls of people calling, thinking that we provide abortions. Its so hard to hear when we want it so much. I'm praying for you as well! Thanks!

Miracles do happen everyday. My son is living proof of that. Like you my DH has the infertility problems. Only 1% of his sperm are normal and they are slow swimmers.
The Dr's said the only way to get pregnant was an IUI, and the month before getting it done we had a BFP. We are back in the same boat as before, going to do an IUI in January. So, just keep believing in yourself, and good luck!

... Because, you need to, as we all do. It is normal and right, and NOT for NOT!....I was TEN YEARS, with nada...not even a blip.
And Outta the Blue! (Turns out...Outta 1 in a Million Chance?!!) Yup, there was the big pink positive...and then double lines, and then a smiley face, then the "pregnant" (that was my fav. So "Definitive"!) Then atleast 3 more test with various double lines and plus signs...Because I got GIDDY! just see it appear.
I didnt know, but I had virtually NO Egg reserves: Getting PG, was a one in a million. NEVER LOSE YOUR Giddy at being Late. Dont NOT SMILE! when you think about it. Thats, part of what keeps ya going, and is for even a few days...a week...thats a BRIGHT PLACE! And, Miracles do happen, on their own schedule- regardless of the "Odds". It will happen for you. Embrace every possibility, and believe in A One in A Million....Im proof, it happens! BIG BIG HUGS. Try not to let it get you down...The ONE thing we always have, is "Next Month".
