Is still early for a pregnancy test right?? I mean even if it is negative there's still hope. Or have I been TTC long enough that when I see a BFN at that stage I should just give up and move on? I feel really crappy right now. I know I shouldn't. I shouldn't've gotten my hopes up. We weren't even trying this month! I wasn't temping or using OPKs or anything. I didn't even know when I ovulated. I still don't know FOR sure when it happened. But when my doctor said I had...well I couldn't help it. I should have known better. It can't be THAT easy. When is ANYTHING. EVER. THAT. EASY. It's not. I really kind of, almost, want to stop TTC all together and just focus on losing weight. I'm doing very well at sticking to my diet (so far). I'm working up to a good exercise schedule. Maybe I should jsut be skinny and gorgeous. Then I can try out for America's Next Top Model like I have always wanted. (This is a true fact. I have always wanted to audition!) Ugh!

You are too funny, Steph! I say go for it!!! However, as for the ttc part of it, my tests don't usually show up until about 14DPO. Like they always say, it's not over until the

shows. I really hope this is it for you.

Thanks Julie. How upset can I really be... we weren't even trying this month... but that apparently didn't stop me from being totally optimistic.

If I were you I would wait a couple days before you test. It is good to be optimistic!!! I think it might do you some good if this cycle does not work to maybe take a break and focus on losing weight. It can only help you. And why not audition for America's Next Top Model??? You can do anything you put your mind to! Whatever you decide Steph I am here for you!

Thanks, Caitlin!

hi Steph,
I would also wait a bit and test again before throwing in the towel! First of all, yes 12 DPO can be early. A BFN at 12 DPO doesn't necessarily mean you're out. Second, you don't even know that you're 12DPO for sure right? You might be less.
I hope you feel more cheerful soon!
Congrats on sticking to your weight loss plan

Working out is hard to get into but totally worth it. I feel so good after a workout (not necessarily during but definitely after).

Haha, Judy. I spose I could be. My workouts are real strenuous. I walk my sweet puppies. And my neighborhood is so pretty. I can't wait to get home! Haha. Alright... I will wait to totally throw in the towel. I go in on Monday for bloodwork. She's gonna check my progesterone... I'll test again then.

Ugh! My boobs don't hurt today. One nipple still hurts but not the other. I'm pretty sure the only progesterone left in my system is the suppositories. I also have a MASSIVE headache.
