Is it true that some people never test + on a HPT? And then only test + with a blood test? If so what is the logic behind this??

It all sounds so simlple, it only takes 1 egg and 1 sperm to make the baby....but if its so easy everyone would get knocked up on their first try. If its so easy, why are so many of us still here???

--Sorry for the negativity I know it doesn't help. I'm getting so frustrated with trying to get pregnant lately. On top of it AF was supposed to show this weekend and she hasnt yet. I consider myself a POAS addict and now cannot bring myself to test. I don't know what I will do if I see another BFN

Yeah, it is true that for whatever reason, some women just don't get a +Hpt. I honestly don't know why that happens. Maybe if I have time later, I'll check it out online and get back to you.

It really does sound simple... egg meets sperm and bing, bang, boom, your pregnant. Sadly, even if you and your guy are 100% reproductively healthy, it's only a 15-20% change you'll get pregnant each cycle. And while that is such a small percentage, why are there so many unwanted pregnancies while women like us would kill for a BFP, right?

I'm sorry that the stress of ttc has gotten to you. I've been there for far too long and know what you're feeling all too well. Hang in there and I would wait another day or two to test again. I hope that you'll be seeing a nice BFP when you do! HUGS!

Yes, it does happen to some women, but it is rare. not sure what the reasoning is behind it.

I know how the ttc journey can suck you into depression. I had 4 losses which took it's toll on us. try to stay focused and positive and have fun!!! i pray you get your bfp soon!!!
