Feeling Down (sorry-so long)

First I want to start by saying I am a poster on here under another name (not a regular poster, but one none the less). I am using this name because I have a SIL that also uses this site that doesn't know DH and I have been TTC and I know she would start telling people in my family and I'm not ready for everyone to know, besides it's my business to tell, not hers.
So anyway, I am feeling a little down this past week because DH and I have been TTC for about 6 months now and nothing. I have irregular periods and find it so hard charting and stuff. I did the temp thing, ovulation sticks and stuff like that for about 4 months then stopped. I felt like I was driving myself crazy. Well, this past week I've been feeling different, kind of crampy, moody, boobs hurt. I want so badly to believe it's a good sign but it's making me nuts. I can hardly sleep at night because its all I think about. I have taken 3 HPT's that have all been negative. If I'm correct (who knows) I think I may have ovulated two weeks ago this friday. I could be doing the tests too earlier but Clearblue easy says you can test up to 4 days before.
Anyway, I'm just feeling bad for myself. Thanks for listening and BD, Chat Icon , andChat Icon for all the TTCers. Even though I don't post that much I just want to thank you for all your love and support for the people on here. I have learned a great deal from everyone.

Re: Feeling Down (sorry-so long)

Hello. First off I understand not wanting people to know. I kinda wish all of our friends and family didn't know we have been TTC sometimes. Secondly, if temping, etc is making you nuts, stop. Don't make yourself crazy. If you still want to try and keep track of when you're going to O you can monitor CM. All you have to do is look at the toilet paper when you wipe and you will see CM. As you get closer to Oing it will become thicker and there will be more of it. ONce you start to see this then use the OPKs.

Personally I chart and use OPKs but it's not for everyone. YOu can even skip the OPKs and just BD when you have egg white-ish CM.

Thirdly, your symptoms could very well be PG symptoms!! A lot of those tests that say you can test early do not pick up the hormone is every woman's body at the same time. If you are PG, your hormone levels could still be too low for the tests but it doesn't mean that you are not PG. There have been girls on here who haven't had a BFP until the day AF is due or waaaay after! Don't give up hope!!

Re: Feeling Down (sorry-so long)

I am sorry that you are feeling so down. The up side is as Kathy said, you may be having PG symptoms but it's too early to test. If I were you I would wait until Sunday and if no AF then test.
I understand how you feel about not telling, I too wish I had kept my fat flapper shut. I hate dealing with the questions related to TTC. But, I've already made my bed and I must congratulate you for not doing the same.

Lot's and Lot's of luck and Baby Dust to you. Hopefully you will be telling us, under your real name, about your BFP next week!

I am sorry that you are feeling down. Try to keep the faith. I am not that familiar with the early tests and thier accuracy - try to holdout for a few more days.

I am sorry your feeling this way, I know how bad it su cks!!!

BUt keep faith alive. You may be PG. If you read the insert in the "early" PG tests, it tells you the chances of getting an accurate answer for 4 days early, 3 days early etc. I think they range from like 56%-80 something%. Those numbers are not good.

Keeping fingers crossed for you.&&&&&&&&
