I am so mad at my body right now i could scream, it keeps playing these mean tricks on me. I skip my period, get all excited, take a test and its negative, it has happened four times this year, i keep thinking im pregnant and then WRONG! It crushes me every time. I just get my hopes up and then they get dashed. I am NEVER taking a pregnancy test again! I will know if im pregnant if i start gaining weight all of a sudden. Im just plain done.
 
I feel the same way. I have taken about four tests that were negative & then my period started - late. I always get myself excited, too & then the disappointment is so bad. I’ll be thinking of you. Hang in there. 🙂
 
Sorry about your frustration. Keep praying- and know that no matter how “advanced” those tests have become, the only reliable one is the blood test. 😛 🙂

I’ve often told my husband that we should’ve bought stock in “First Response” because I’ve taken about a gazzillion preganancy tests… and most were negitive. Often times not only would I be late… but my body would also “trick” me into thinking I had symptoms.

I know it can be sooooooooooooo frustrating! Hang in there. I’ll say a prayer for you.

God Bless,

First a big huge cyber-hug.((((((((:love: )))))))) so sorry to hear this, I know how sad you must feel. The only thing is to keep the Faith and keep Praying. I’ll be praying for you too.
 
Tar - try checking out the book “Fertility, Cycles and Nutrition” by Catholic fertility expert Marilyn Shannon. According to her, lack of B vitamins is often a huge culprit in the innability to conceive. The book has a lot of other options you could explore as well.

Your mind is trying too hard.
That sends mixed signals to your body and thus the false symptoms.
I know this is really, really hard for you, but please…relax, let it go…get the thought of getting pregnant out of your head so that you can actually get pregnant. The self-imposed stress is wreaking havoc on your hormones messing with your chances.

Go to adoration and give your desire to conceive a child now, this week, this month, this year, by your timing over to Christ. Take the part of Mary and give your “according to thy Word” to him completely. You will conceive according to God’s will and God’s timing, should His will be for you to conceive. Ask for the strength to redirect all the energy you are spending worrying about and anticipating positive results over to praise and glory of Him.

When your mind senses a thought trying to ‘read’ your body’s signals, stop and say Hail Mary’s until you forgot why you started saying them in the first place.

The praying will calm your nerves, relax the mind, allow time for your hormones to settled into the proper rhythms so that conception can take place should that be God’s will.

It’s similar to weight loss. We consciously monitor every morsel passing our lips, the water we drink, the exercise we do and then run home to the scale and WHACK not only did it not go down, sometimes it even goes up. It depresses us, we have to struggle to psyche ourselves up to keep at it tomorrow, we get excited to step on the scale again and WHAM still nothing. Finally we forget about the scale…then we forget to monitor our water intake, our exercise levels, our food intake (but we keep eating right and exercising, we just aren’t micromanaging it anymore)…and one day we step on a scale fully expecting it to read the same or worse…but NO, it shows a loss! The stress we were bringing on ourselves because of our impatience told our bodies we were in crisis mode so it wouldn’t let go of the excess weight.

You really have to conquer that impatience. Give it to God.

Hey, just so you know, you can buy pregnancy tests in bulk online for a lot cheaper. I did that before I got married cause I knew I would be constantly checking as soon as we got married, and we wouldn’t be home for about 18 days. They have a 6 to 8 day wait after conceiving. They worked too, and then when I did get two lines I wanted to check and recheck so I did like 6 tests the first day and like 2 each day for the next few days. I bought like 30 or more, I can’t remember. PM me if you want more info.
 
Tar, You may also want to make an appointment with your doctor. The thyroid can cause problems with irregular cycles, and a simple blood test can reveal if you have that problem, which is regulatable (is that a word?) with medication. Of course, if you do not have a really good doctor, be prepared to hear how you should go on the pill to regulate your periods, and/or jump right to fertility drugs like clomid rather than try to find out what the real CAUSE of the problem is. Could just be stress, or it could be something more. A doctor would be best able to advise you.

On a personnal side, before we conceived #3, my periods were going anywhere from 5-8+ weeks apart. It was driving me nuts thinking I might be, then not. My thyroid tested out ok, then low and behold, we were pregnant, so we stopped worrying about it for the time being. Now that I have had #3 (just a couple weeks ago) I am waiting to see if my period settles itself back down into a normal pattern, or if we need to continue trying to find out what is wrong. I think it is most frustrating because it takes a month or more between “events” to even try to discover a pattern. I am just not that patient.:rolleyes:
 
Hey Tar…

are you using NFP? If you’re not, you should try charting your cycles. Your temp should let you know if you’re pregnant or not (much cheaper than a PT).

If your temp is consistently up but then you are not prego, you may be having extremely early miscarriages. You would need to see your doc ASAP.

I am sorry that you keep getting your hopes lifted and then crushed. It must be so frustrating! I hope you can figure out what’s up and I pray that you conceive at the precise moment God has planned for you and hubby.

GREAT BIG BEAR HUG TO YOU TAR.:blessyou:

When my mother wanted to know if she was expecting they had to kill a rabbit.
When we were first married they killed a frog to find out if you were expecting. So for all the frogs we killed we now adopt disabled Fire-Belly toads. We have had as many as 24 living with us at a time.:whacky: I thought that would bring a good laugh.

So now relax, get a physical and enjoy the time you can spend with your husband (sex is not a dirty word) and have fun.
 
HUGS I’m so sorry for your frustration.

Just wanted to share this for all reading the thread:
saveontests.com/

i get 25 tests for $10.00 there.
 
Tar, are you on metformin yet? I know you’ve mentioned in other posts that you have PCOS… did you know that metformin’s side effects are inducing ovulation and thus making conception so much easier?

I remember you talking about starting to use metformin to treat insulin resistance that comes with PCOS (which explains your missed periods and irregularity).

This is how we conceived, btw. 🙂
 
😦 It must be the day for it…that’s how my morning started too…

I completely understand getting your hopes up and then having them dashed - your body playing tricks on you is just like some one turning the knife :crying: I’ve been riding the roller coaster for almost 2 years (after 5 relatively simple pregnanies and births) - penance for having so it easy before??? I don’t know…but I will pray for you and beg you to pray for me too…

God Bless ~

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the kind thoughts and words of encouragement. MooCowSteph, i am not on anything right now, i quit all of it and decided to let nature and God take their course. I will pray for all of you and please continue to pray for me. God bless you all!

Tara
 
I am so sorry and will pray for you. My wife and I took years before being blessed with a son and I know how long each year seems when you are anxious for a little one.
 
Same thing happened to me like 5 or 6 times.
Finally, when I stopped checking…it happened. Now I have two kiddos!
Good luck and prayers!

I completely understand what you’re going through. I’ve made the “Oh my gosh…what if…” runs to Wallgreens myself for “The Test”. I’ve thought of names, my .'s been 3 weeks late, I get all worked up and excited. Then I take the test and…negative…and my . the next day. I’ve gotten so bad that even if hubby and I haven’t been intimate, I think “Well, maybe we were and I just don’t recall” (not flattering to DH, but the mind does funny things). I’ve become rather resigned to the fact that I probably won’t ever conceive naturally…nor will I do anything “scientific” about it. It’s a big hole in my heart, but God knows best, no matter what I really, truly, desperately want. Aaaarrrgggghhhhh! However…you never know…so off to Wallgreens I’ll go, with names in mind…
