How many times have you been convinced

you were pregnant only to get a negative?
I've been convinced at least 4 times. 
I'm in my 2ww right now and am trying to be optimistic but not full on crazy. It's hard! |

| Every time. Even though I try to tell myself that I'm not, don't get your hopes up, think the worst and then be happy when something better happens..... I still always somewhere in the back of my mind also calculate the due dates, start thinking about babymoons, etc and so on. It's hard. |

| 3 times. I had my first IUI last month and I knew within days that it didn't work. I am just starting to open my mind to the idea that I will not have a genetic baby.... We are doing IVF this month but I have a billion other things going on at work and with family and I just don't have enough in me to get to focused on the outcome this month. I suppose that is a good thing. |

| Every single time (9), except for the 10th. That was when I was actually pregnant. |

| I always think the worst. For good reason, unfortunately. |

| Never. I never allow myself to go to that place of complete surety without that proof of a blood test or confirmation from the doctor. Simply because I didn't want that enormous let down. I always had faith I'd get pg one day but left room in case I didn't. But I was convinced I was pg. |

| Every single f'ing time... only to have a lap this cycle and discover that both of my tubes were completely blocked. |

OOPS, mean to say, "But I wasn't convinced I was pg." |

Just about every month as well. In the beginning of the 2ww I tell myself that it didn't work, I couldn't possibly be pregnant, etc., but then towards the end I convince myself I am. I start thinking about upcoming trips to see family, how far along I'd be, if it would be too early to tell. Ugh. It's terrible! That being said, AF is due on Monday, so I plan to test this weekend. My boobs are sore and feel different than most months so I'm back to convincing myself that I could be pregnant and will most likely be sorely disappointed tomorrow.

Most months in the beginning I was truly convinced and then as it took longer that definitely tapered off a bit to more of a "please, please, PLEASE let this be the month!" After 11 cycles, I was only convinced we were going to need to see an RE to get (and stay) pregnant. This week I took a test just to see if I should be expecting my period since I have my first RE appointment on Monday. I nearly fainted when I saw it turn positive! I'm cautiously optimistic since I had an early m/c before.
It's incredibly hard but hang in there OP! |

Don't be so hard on yourself, OP. Sometimes you may be convinced with good reason. An egg can be fertilized but never implant and you can have symptoms prior to implantation. Sometimes we imagine symptoms because we want them so badly but it's also the case that sometimes women are too quick to doubt themselves.
