Started light, light spotting yesterday evening-picked up some more today- very brown, and only when I wipe (sorry TMI)- I honestly do not have a clue as to how we missed it. I'm not sure how to feel- I told myself not to get my hopes up- but of course I did.....I know we will keep trying but I need help- How could we have done anything differently??

I'm sorry you missed it! I can't answer your question other than to say it'll happen when it happens. Sometimes it happens right away, and other times it takes a while. You just have to stay hopeful and time your bd'ing.

It's always weird to find you have a "perfect" chart, and timed bd'ing just right and still nothing, but other moms have el-whacko charts and still get their positives. So, I think it's up to God to bless us in his time, not ours.

I'm sorry, Christine. Who knows, maybe AF will stay MIA? Maybe it's too early to get a positive? I don't know what you could have done differently. I think Carolyn put it more eloquently than I ever could. It's so difficult because besides BDing at the correct times and keeping yourself healthy, it's basically out of our hands.

Today is CD1!! I was expecting it- although she is two day's early- last cycle was 1 day early. That is confusing me- I have never been early in my life- always either right on schedule or a bit late. I'm trying not to worry- I have considered calling the Dr. on Monday- I do Ovulate really late (CD 19) and that's not good from what I've read. I know that we need to not be so technical this time around!! I need to relax...

I'm sorry and I wish I could say something to make you feel better or something you could do differently but honestly, there's no real reassurance. Even with the perfect timing, etc. it doesn't always pan out. There's a lot going on inside our bodies and the conditions have to be perfect. The first part of this documentary helped me understand a little bit about how picky our bodies are. Life's Greatest Miracle

It can really suck but try not to get discouraged. It will happen. (((HUGS)))

Hang in there.. {hugs} When it's time it will happen. Maybe next month will be our month and then we can be preggo buddies..
