Ok I know I am not out till the wicked red witch shows up, but we tested this morning and got a BFN. We where so sure we were going to get our BFP this month. Food has been tasting different and yesterday while eating at our favorite restaurant I thought everything was super salty. Our friends and Lori thought I was crazy! They said the food was perfectly seasoned. I feel so bad for Lori she is upset again and asked how people do this cycle after cycle!
Any of you long timers have any advice I can give her? She said as much as she wants a baby she doesn't know if she can continue to handle the TTC stress

FX for you!
I guess that yearning and desire to be a mother is just so strong that I just have to keep going. It's been so hard. There have been days that I hate myself, hate my body, hate the world, I can't get out of bed. There are times that I think I just can't do it anymore, financially or emotionally.
Then I look into my nephews or niece's eyes (I'm very, very close to them), realize how much I love them and know that I would go through all this all over again for them and that gives me the strength to keep going.
Also, God. I'm a Christian and there's no way I'd be able to go through this without Him.
And I know every single failed IUI, IVF and FET I've done has been done for a reason. I can tell you the reason for every one of them and I know I've gone through it for a purpose.
Hang in there sweetie! I hope it's just early and you get your BFP. If you ever need to talk, we're here! (((HUGS)))

i know trying at home means a lot to some couples but we wanted to get pregnant and since i was 36 when we started we didn't want to waste any time. the standard testing can usually be coded so as not to trigger infertility flags. seriously there are plenty of fertility issues out there that you would have no idea about. between my dp and i:
elevated prolactin (took dostinex to lower)
factor v leiden hetero (both of us - baby aspirin daily when ttc and first trimester)
mthfr A1298C (folic acid daily, b12 daily)
hypothyroidism (hashimoto's - auto immune disorder - synthroid daily, regular thyroid hormones check)
pcos (metformin while ttc)
uterine polyp (removed via surgery)
we had no idea we had any of these conditions. dp's old pcp saw that her tsh was slightly elevated but didn't flag it. turns out it was sub-clinical hypothyroidism. neither of our families have fertility issues although dp's does have other auto immune - diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
my factor v leiden was discovered due to a post-partum blood clot. if i hadn't realised the signs (from the sheet they send you home from the hospital with post-partum) i could have died. clots are nothing to mess with. because of that, dp had the entire miscarriage panel done and that's when we found that she had factor v leiden and the mthfr.
we were very aggresive with resolving all of these issues - and they were very easily fixed or controlled. ds1 was conceived 4 months into ttc but on our second try. ds2 was conceived 5 months into ttc but on our third try.
i really hope you have some fast success but wanted to point out that sometimes there are medical reasons why ttc isn't working. after 2 tries i would not put you in that category but it's something to bear in mind.
