Well yesterday, I stayed home from work because I was feeling under the weather 14DPO. I was feeling naseauted most of the day and i was having mild AF like cramps.
Much to my dismay I started to spot last night.

I'm starting to feel like I need to get serious about charting now. I was so sure that we timed everything right this time. I was sure I was PG. I am starting to feel the frustration. Its hard because my best friend is PG, and a dear fried of mine who has been ttc since July is now PG.

Its depressing to see the people close to me going through what I want so bad.

Thanks so much for your support during this disapointment. I appriciate the encouragement.  I am now CD3 is it ok to start temping now?  I should have started on CD1 but I was still hopeful that it wasn't really AF.

Sorry to hear about AF. You sure it is really her? Well I know how much you were looking forward to this being IT and we were SO hoping it was for you. I know there is nothing I can say to ease your mind so I won't even try. Just know taht we've been thinking of you.

I know I post this too much but I can't help it. Get a fertility monitor, and you'll wonder why you ever tried bbt charting. I've tried everything else, and I just love it. There's no guesswork, like with the opk's and that dang thermometer. You wake up, pee on a stick, put the stick on the monitor, and 5 minutes later, you know if you're about to ovulate. It knows me and my cycle. It actually adapts to me more every month as it learns more about my hormone levels. LOVE it!

The same thing here, before I had my first son........one of my best friends got pregnant, 7 months later, my other best friend got pregnant.....and I was so upset.......I was like, why them, and not me........then 8 months later, I popped up pregnant, I know, the waiting sucks, but its very worth it.sorry cant say much more to bring up your spirits.

So sorry about the spotting.  I know how disappointing that is.  I have to disagree with AnnJ though.  DO start charting!  I'm not saying that you shouldn't use the fertility monitor too, most women that use that love it.  I'm just saying charting can tell you a lot more than a fertility monitor can.  Aside from confirming that you O, your chart can tell you if your LP is long enough, whether your progesterone level seems high enough, and whether you are about to get your almighty BFP.  Also, if you do need to see a fertility DR in the future he/she will want to see a few cycles worths of charts.  Hopefully you won't have to see an RE, but you want to already have those charts just in case.  I hope things work out for you.  I'm sure your BFP will be here soon.

I know how you feel, my husband and I have been trying since Sept. and still no luck.  All our friends have either just had babies or just found out they were pregnant.  But dont get caught up in everything try to have fun too!!
Best of luck!

My husband and I went through that disappointment 5yrs ago. I know it sounds crazy but most of the time if you don't think about it and keep your mind on something else it will happen. I know it is so hard to do this but if you relax and try not to stress I am sure it will happen. Good luck!

We can all relate to what you are going through. Every month I am sure that this month will be it. Heck, I even chart and I still have not gotten pregnant. It takes time. Good Luck and if you have any charting questions just ask.
