before you even ovulate?

I feel bad being so negative but can't help but feeling out already. I think just the fact that I ovulate so late in my cycle (still waiting actually) is just one more thing that stacks the odds against me...

[Christine-MA]

I usually actually feel really good before O, maybe even a couple days after. I always think THIS IS THE ONE. This cycle I felt really really good, and now I'm just sure it's not going to happen. It could be because our timing was a little off (but still an ok shot), but most of it is just pessimism!

I actually never feel "in". I am such a pessimist!

[**Jenn**]

I think being pessimistic somehow keeps it from hurting more when af shows. And then if for some miracle I finally do get a BFP I will be that much more overjoyed! I've got screwed up thinking though.

I'm like Christine with this... almost every cycle I am super positive and think that "this is it", until about 7dpo (read: now) and my hope starts dwindling and I start thinking ahead to what we have to do next cycle...

[SavaAngel]

I am one of those that is already thinking I am out before even ovulating. It takes a lot to get excited about the cycle and all that. I think part of it is that we have been trying for so long and it just hurts when AF arrives that if in the back of my mind I know she will arrive I don't cry as much when she does.

[KDD]

I often feel like this won't be the cycle for me. I've unfortunately been right more than once. I hate to get my hopes up each cycle only to be crushed when my temps plummet and AF arrives.

I'm always excited and full of hope before O. After I O, it depends on our BD timing and the imaginary symptoms I'm feeling. Last cycle I was so sure I was pregnant it was a big shock to see the bfn!

[~Lynda~]

i'm usually anxious right before Oing. I usually don't O till CD16/17 and right around CD14 I start getting very impatient. it's like i know around when i'm going to O, but I always think maybe it will be a bit earlier. the m/c is making my cycle longer i think. I'm at CD15 and opks are still very very negative. heavy sigh!!!! G/L I hope you're not "out" but AF is!!!!

Generally I'm really optimistic before I O and really hopeful that this is the cycle. This time around however, I got really down which is strange. I don't know why, but I got into a "I'm never going to get pregnant" funk and that lasted a few days last week. I was able to push it out of my head and I'm back on course with my optimis. Good thing too- cause I'll be Oing soon!!!

[Soape]

I'm optimistic prior to O and then right before AF shows I start thinking it's over....I did this even when I was pregnant and didn't know yet.
