June is my first month of TTC after we lost our son in September 2010. It's driving me crazy. According to my chart, I should get my period today, should have gotten it yesterday, really. I tested Saturday morning, because I was hoping it would be positive, and that would have been a great father's day gift for my husband, but two tests were negative. I don't know if I'll buy the digital tests again (they were on sale) because seeing the words "not pregnant" on that screen was a little too much. All weekend I was constantly thirstly, like when I was pregnant last time, and I was in the bathroom constantly Sunday, like last time, so I thought maybe I ovulated late and it was too early for a positive test. And my last several cycles I spotted before my period came, and I've had nothing at all. I just don't know what to think. My body is telling me there's hope but the test said now. I know I just need to wait, and I'm trying to trust in God's timing. I just was hoping someone could commiserate with me. Anybody out there?

Frankly, I don't know if I can commiserate or not! I've never been pregnant so can't go by familiar signs, but last month was definitely an odd one as far as behavior and emotions and hunger went. BUT then my period came. I think. Everybody says that you can't do more than spot if you're pregnant, and it was definitely more than that-- except that the whole period was kind of weird compared to my usual predictable ones. AND my chart is being super weird. I'm new to charting, this is only month two, but I thought that temps were supposed to drop again after your period showed up. ?? Mine definitely haven't. And based on last month's ovulation date, I should have ovulated by now but temps say I haven't. So confusing!!!
So I can commiserate with the frustration of NOT KNOWING! I hope you guys are pregnant- that would be so amazing for you. :-)

My temps were weird this month too, and my last period! Fertility flower says I ovulated 15 days ago, but when I look at the chart, it just looks like a giant mess to me. Hopefully the program is smarter than I am! Last month my period was so light and short, I started to think it was just spotting and I might be pregnant, but if that was the case I would have tested positive, so I know it was still a period. This might be TMI, but I keep having that sensation like I've gotten my period, and when I go to the bathroom there's nothing. That is a real pain. Every time I resign myself that this month isn't the month, but then there's nothing there. I also noticed that my sense of smell for certain things was heightened like last time. I feel like I could convince myself either way if I wanted to, and right now I just want to know. I'm on CD32 today, so if I don't get it by Friday I'm testing again. I hope you get your BFP too!

Well, since I had a weird period and wasn't sure what to call it, the program called it a period, and therefore I'm only on CD9-- I suspect I just had an odd month and I'm not really pregnant, because other than my weird temperatures (they STILL haven't dropped- they're in the range they were in all last month after ovulation, so go figure) I seem to be feeling pretty normal.
You, on the other hand, sound like you might have some signs working in your favor! I hope it shakes out that way for you-- we're still content to wait to start a family (this would have been an accident) but since you're actually trying, then I sure hope that you're the lucky one in this scenario. :-)
Seriously, I think my body has just been nuts since we got married (in December). I've been predictable for my entire fertile life, and all of a sudden things just started going weird-- I thought I was pregnant two months ago and went through a FIFTY DAY cycle and that was completely ridiculous and unprecedented. Then this month's oddities. I'm telling you, my body is just a stranger lately... And there's been no birth control or anything to mess it up, so I really don't know what to attribute it to.
Anyway, enough of my rant. Crossing my fingers for you. :-)
