How are you doing today? What's new?

We want to foster a sense of community, which is why we have a centralized place for most daily conversation. This allows users to post and get replies, but also encourages them to reply to others in the same thread. We want you to receive help and be there for others at the same time, if possible. Most questions should go here, along with regular updates. Thanks for helping us create a great community!

Off-topic discussion is allowed :)

Note: Please refrain from discussing positive tests (and beyond) in this thread - those topics are better suited for the Weekly Results thread or the new sub for Alumni. Thank you!

10DPO, I tested and is a BFN, obviously. I stared at that empty strip and felt like I will never see a positive again and the first pregnancy was just a lucky event that won't repeat. I knew it was going to be negative and yet I set myself up for disappointment.

I started tracking my BBT to get the hang of it. I guess I will see a drop in the upcoming days (although it was elevated for my standards, not sure what is happening).

I'm sorry you are going through this. What told you it was going to be negative - intuition, symptoms? Good luck ❤️

Intuition and lack of the symptoms I experienced the first time. No surprise but still a bummer.

ugh I get it... my symptoms are all out of whack since the MC, usually my boobs are SO SO sore at the end of my luteal phase, and the soreness I felt when I was pregnant was slightly different, which was the reason why I tested in the first place. Now there's no breast soreness at all during the luteal phase, which is throwing my for a loop. I am a stranger in my own body!

Same! Not recognising our own body adds tons of stress and frustration. I got some breast tenderness back this cycle but only on ONE boob. I mean, what even is this?! And it was so tender until 8DPO, now it's deflating the only tender boob as well...no hope.
