My temp plummetted this morning and I have horrible cramps. I am expecting AF today or tomorrow. I am really struggling especially since my SIL announced yesterday that she is pregnant. She tried for one month! Okay so I am having a horrible time! I am trying to tell myself that even thouogh it has almost been two years since we started trying that we have only been trying two cycle post Lupron shot. I know that God has a special baby up there for me. He or she is in with the special orders and just needs more time. I am trying to be optimistic but it might take a few days. I am going to give up caffeine completely this cycle and keep up with the opks and temping. I am going o buy a membership to FF as well. I am praying for an October baby! I would love to have Halloween themed birthday parties for my little one.

 i'm sorry this wasn't your lucky cycle. Take a little time for yourself and then regroup for next cycle - Oct is a great month to be born in (i'm biased though  )
I know it's hard to watch family be pregnant when you're not...my sis announced she was expecting twins literally the day we found out we were likely m/c a 2nd time. (((HUGS)))

I'm sorry this wasn't your month! It is always hard when someone close to you announces a pregnancy when that is what you desperately want for yourself. Good luck with your next cycle!

oh man, me too! (But this was my first loss.) I'm sorry, I can somewhat empathize. AF is rearing her ugly head after a month with promising nausea and a perfect chart. It does certainly sting a little. I would love an October baby though.

I'm sorry. I know how difficult it can be to have family pregnant. My SIL was pregnant the same time that I miscarried (TWICE!), four of my cousins have had babies since August, with a fifth in labor as we speak, and my sister is currently pregnant as well. None of these people even tried to get pregnant. It sucks. Be gentle with yourself. I really hope that this next cycle is your lucky cycle.

I don't know what it is about SILs and being super fertile. ALL of mine are. I've had one announce her pregnancy the day I began miscarrying, and then announce her pregnancy on the day of my last D&C. Gaaaah. While I have been happy for her, I've been so unhappy for myself.
I'm so sorry this cycle was a bust for you. And I'm sorry your SIL is pregnant and blissfully ignorant of the realities we all know so well.
Big hugs.

I'm sorry! It's hard when someone close in pregnant. One of my best friends became pregnant as I was losing my 16 week pregnancy. Then another good friend announced hers a couple of months after.
I am hoping nobody else around me will announce any other pregnancies till I announce mine LOL - hope it happens to all of us soon!

We've all been waiting long enough, it's our turn!
Cait, sorry about your SIL. I would be heartbroken if any of my 3 SILs announced a pregnancy anytime soon (especially because they're all young [19-22] and single!). BIG HOPES that the Lupron will make all the difference in the world for you. Pleasepleaseplease!

Thanks ladies so much!!! I think this is the year for all of us! My MIL came to check on me today to make sure that I was okay. We went out shopping for a little bit and just talked. It took her five years to get pregnant with her first and two m/c and five more years to get pregnant with her second so it is nice to have her to talk to.

I'm sorry AF showed! That disappointment is always hard to deal with, but to have a family member announce a pregnancy on top of it, just sucks! Definitely take a few days to indulge in whatever makes you feel better. I'm glad that your MIL is so supportive. I'm sure that helps a lot! I hope that this cycle is the one for you!
